If you are using your wine wand you shouldn't need to do it more than once, i degas for about a minute switching from forward to reverse every few seconds, don't do it in one direction only as i have read it introduces air rather than releasing CO2.
Aye pal,
I can't do for long!! My good arm goes to sleep!! Lol
Both DJ are staperlised and and cleared!!

Hello all
Well the both DJ's of red wine have been staperlised & cleared..I'm happy with the progress so far.
As I said a few days ago I'm emazed that one was fermenting for 10 days and one Was all done in 3 days!!
The problem I find is I thought I done something wrong!!
I have to say due to my disibility with my brain function it has been a great feeling just to get on with the wine making, all the help from you all is emazing, so thank you.

Its surprising how the cold weather effects fermentation, i was going to rack and clear a couple of DJ's tonight which i started 12 days ago but they are still bubbling every 10 seconds, i don't cover them or use any source of heat so i will have to be patient.
I need your help?
we know ill get the answers eventually...but my brain isn't cooperating!
were to start....mmmmm! ok I check the first DJ and the reading was bottle...but the taste was so strong, slighty vinergar-ish..and sulphur..
the2nd DJ was better tasted like wine....a bit weak but nice..
how can remedy the first DJ...or is it whew out material??
both ive not bottled.
I'm hoping within age the first one will be ok.....
any help woud be appreciated..

What was in the first DJ?
What does reading says bottle mean?
What does reading says bottle mean?
Sorry pal,
It was late at night and I'd took my meds! Any excuse!...
The wine is Wilko Cabernet Sauvignon and on the the hydrometer around the 1000 mark its say 'bottle' I think in yellow...
I tried to look up the cause, but sorry only a few snipet of info are sinking.
One says took a long to ferment...one is too much oxygen...the temp sway, and I forgot the other reason (I'll not a good Sherlock Holmes at this rate!)
If the first is no good, how can increase the the alcohol level in the second DJ to give it a stronger taste???
I'm going to look at the readings to see the Finished sg reading but it's well under 13% by the taste.
Thanks again for all the help.

I think the final AVB is 9.84%

They usually tell you to leave it until it gets to .995 did your instructions give you a number?
What number??
I'm just leaving the both DJ's and then taking reading about a week.
If there both not down to .995 I'll wait.
At the end of the day, one DJ is palatable and even is has a weak AVB it's a nice drink..lol

Don't forget standard juice wine is around 13% so easy does it.
