Beginner Wine Making - Fermentation

This video gives you a winemakers perspective on beginner wine making. It takes you all the way from testing juice to racking off the wine after primary fermentation.

Enjoying these videos! JUST getting into wine making. I've been doing cider now for a few years so taking it up a notch with Vino!

A cool climate winery using Swenson & Minnesota hybrids! My kinda place, subbed! 👍

[@CDavid1951]

Thanks for the video I hope to make some wine from grapes soon.

I am using a glass gallon carboy for my white wine batch. How much headspace should i leave in the carboy for the first fermentation?

[@harringtonkyle2]

Do you have an email to communicate through? I am curious to learn more about how you built your wine business up from the basement to the winery. Great content!

[@dariachugreeva1942]

can we use a few different types of yeast to make a wine more complex?

[@a_odairsantos9095]

About the oxigen: How they manage those big thanks (20.000 L and so), when there is a big head space? Do they use CO2 or Argon gases? I mean, for both, wihite and reds

[@phyllisrunyan8782]

I'm in a pickle. I just watched your video and l have made a mistake. My carboy is only 1/2 full and it will be days before l can get smaller ones delivered. Can l use the Distilled water jugs in the mean time?

[@marilynbohn8009]

So what is your Specific gravity I'm a beginner I don't know anything about brix

[@lorithemel1263]

were you adding yeast to water?

[@BrianWaddell]

Fermenting buckets have a small hole in the lid for the stopper and airlock.

[@bartendersunny1]

Thanks very much for your videos!! Doesn't the campden tablet kill yeast? I've seen it dosed for 1 tablet per gallon to stabilize.... can you elaborate? I know you used fewer tablets and I'm sure your experience trumps my KZbin University lol. Maybe it was that you didn't use them at the same time?

[@jakewiggins4976]

Campden is a bacteria killer, yeast is generally safe.

[@BrianWaddell]

Campden tablets go in the juice first. Then wait 24-48 hrs as the tablets get neutralized. Then you pitch the yeast…

[@mxgametech1379]

How can I learn from you

[@toaluasaleupolu7060]

Can you use camden tabs to stabilise wine ?

[@coldcountryvineswines1529]

Camden tablets only stabilize bacteria. There are many other stability factors such as tartrate, and heat stability.

@@coldcountryvineswines1529 ok thank you for the reply that really helps

[@bobmarley2140]

@@toaluasaleupolu7060 If you are adding no more sugar to it the tabs will do the job you don't need to worry about anything else if you are storing and bottling it properly. There's plenty of natural winemakers who simply add nothing

[@weggy3]

I thought you weren't supposed to airlock primary fermentation ?

[@1doyou]

Why are you using a "dirty" rag to wipe things? :)

[@weggy3]

oh ok I see sorry :)

Too much talk
