Tip: Stick the bottles you want to peel the labels off in a bucket of water for 4 to 5 days and the peel will just slide off. To keep it in the bucket submerged, fill the bottles with water. No more elbow grease!

Charles, this was a good video. I have a tip for labels though. If you are reusing your bottles and want to have labels nicer than tape and marker, you can print them out on regular copy paper. Cut them to shape, then wipe down the back of the label with milk (cows milk... whole, 2%, skim; grade doesn't matter but it must be cows milk) then apply the label to the bottle. The lactose will hold it in place until it gets wet then it will slide right off. Very easy to clean up for reuse and no need to stock special label sheets. Cheers, mate!

Depends on how many bottles you're planning to cork at one time. The hand corker is fine for the 1-gallon (5 bottles) batches. If you are making 5-6 gallon batches (25-30 bottles) then it will probably be an easier time of it to use a floor standing type like this: amzn.to/3dxhjV6

Great video. New to DIY wine making but feel like your videos are gonna be really useful. Quick question. When racking the wine a few days ago I transferred it from a carboy to a large bucket (all sterilised) however I poured the wine in to the bucket. Have I ruined it? It’s going to be everyone’s Christmas present so I’m really hoping not 😬. Thanks for the video
@DIYFermentation3 жыл бұрын
If you were doing your initial rack from primary to secondary, and this was within the 3 to 5 day period, then you be ok. If you are using campden tablets, then you might want to use that to help reduce oxidation. If this was a later racking, then there's the possibility that the degassing that would occurred during the pour may have displaced enough oxygen in the bucket (co2 being heavier than air). Add campden tablet(s) to be sure and hope for the best.
