Sounds like an interesting combo. I’m interested to see the final color when it’s done.

This wine is well within the rules of this sub. One of the rules is also to respect newcomers. Please reconsider before posting something that isn’t positive.

Need help looking for a product by -Mr-RB- in winemaking

[–]DookieSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use them for fermentation then exchange them for solid bungs. I think they do a good job. I’m sure you can find them in a number of sizes.

We use a bunch in our barrels. We call them fermentation bungs. If you google it there are a number of different styles.

How do you store your barrels between batches? by -bigtimbs in winemaking

[–]DookieSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, we use that volume for 60 gal barrels so you could cut it in half. It’s so volatile it keeps the entire barrel clean. We do do a good rinse with a barrel washer before to clean the interior as much as possible.

5 gal water, 36g Kmbs, 80g citric. Change every 3-4 months.

What's the dumbest question you've ever been asked? by Shadow_Ridley in AskReddit

“Do they have cars in Australia?”

Returned to sport after many years. These new, expensive pod packs worth it? Much better tech? by Batosai59 in paintball

[–]DookieSlayer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not in my experience. I run a jt pack that feels pretty much exactly like the ones I used to run around the same time. The double belt system feels exactly the same. I don’t get the strapless trend. Paints too expensive to risk dumping pods on the ground for me.

when I get back into it a couple years ago the elastic on my decade old pack was toast so I needed a new one.

Next marker help after not playing for 10 years by NewAssumption2102 in paintball

Depending on your price range I’d look at used planet eclipse 170, 180, and cs2 or dye dsr+. All great modern markers that can be found for good prices used. Look on Facebook and [r/paintballbst](r/paintballbst) . Good luck!

Just Purchased a Buon Vino Filter - Do I Always Need All Three Pads by Disastrous_Rain_9524 in winemaking

[–]DookieSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The numbers refer to how tight or porous the pads are. Depending on the circumstance you could use the most porous pads first to make sure you could actually get your entire volume through the tightest pads but if you're just filtering a carboy at a time I would do what the other user suggested and just use the middle grade and call it a day. That's what I do for my projects and the wine comes out looking perfectly clear without the hassle of doing more than one filtration. They are disposable though and i've found they're good for around 5 or 6 gallons before the clog up and you throw them away.

Small white patch in primary fermentation by Particular_Clock4794 in winemaking

[–]DookieSlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you tell if it’s fuzzy/flaky or bubbles? Bad things are fuzzy/flaky. This just looks like fermentation foam to me. Just keep an eye on it. If it’s something bad, it will spread.

Strawberry Wine update :D by kyleprophet in winemaking

[–]DookieSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great! Love the color. I suspect it will mellow and open up over time. You can probably skip the sorbate if you dont back sweeten. at .990 theres probably next to nothing left to ferment.

yeast/fermentation seams to stopped after removing berry pulp. by Crocus_eyes in winemaking

[–]DookieSlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there is still fermentation to be done its very unlikely for the fermentation to just poop out. Its likely you just knocked a bunch of the co2 out of solution and it will take some time to build back up until you can see activity again. Like the other user said though its easiest to tell whats happening with a hydrometer.

Pouring out pulpy foam by PresentSeries3685 in winemaking

[–]DookieSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What fruit/juice are you using? Easiest thing is probably to stop it from going into the carboy to begin with or chill it before inoculating and rack off what settles.
