    First WOW...

    Degassing in DJ with spoon....

    Hi guys - could really do with some help here. Just at the stage where I need to rack my first 2 wines brewed in a DJ. I've tried shaking with hand over the top, and got very splattered so don't want to continue down that route any further... So now I'm on the spoon - seems to be taking ages...

    First Racking - Problems?

    Ok.. glad I asked... saved me some nutrient & yeast lol - will keep an eye on it and see how much longer it takes :grin:

    First Racking - Problems?

    Still a bit stuck on this one - the ferment restarted after about 24h, at about 1 bubble every 6 seconds. It was about one bubble a second before I racked it. The bubble speed still hasn't picked up in 3 days. Should I add some more yeast perhaps? Or perhaps nutrient? :?:

    Total newbie question, please help!

    I made a Winebuddy chardonnay once - it's a 6 day ferment with 1 day to clear as far as I remember. As long as the fermentation has finished you will be fine. :thumb:

    Total newbie question, please help!

    You need to siphon it from one container to another, can be a bit tricky though. I've never filled a wine box, but you dont need a machine to do it. :D

    Advice on replacement finings for kit wine

    Lol - the wine from a sanitised turkey baster put into a sanitized glass can of course go back into the FV!! I find it difficult siphoning from a bucket into a wine bottle, though I am getting better .... Depends what type of siphon you have really, and how good you are at using it :) If...
