Its a muscat from williams brewing. Simple instructions.. says to add water..shoudl I boil this water and let it cool or is tap fine? I really wanna boil it LOL.. Should I remove the chloramide (with campden) like I do with my beer water?
why let the must rest? Whats the purpose of that?
Never have with wine. Not actually sure it would help.
Just curious as to why it wouldn't help.
I too have been making beer for years but plan on getting my wife started on wine (which means I'll be making wine, she'll be drinking it and telling her friends that she made it). I've just begun the research phase and plan on using kits from Williams, etc.
Also, I use RO water for all my brewing. Can I assume that this will be fine for wine kits as well?
That makes sense that the lack of a boil means that the O2 in the water and juice has not been driven off. Would it hurt to add some extra O2? Would that cause a situation where the yeast are too active and over ferment, stripping out some of the flavor and body?
Also, are my Better Bottles going to be ok or is glass an absolute necessity?
Thanks.
Does 'topping up' specifically mean adding more juice or would periodically purging the head space with CO2 suffice?
Am I annoying everybody with a bunch of noob questions that have probably been answered a hundred times already?
