Hi again folks:

Well, my first batch of wine seems to be coming along nicely. For the
record, it's a Vinters Reserve Savignon Blanc, bought all the tools and such
along with the wine kit from a local brewing centre.

At first I thought it might be too cold for the yeast to get going, but go
it did. The carboy is currently cooling off in the basement after I mixed in
the sulphite and sorbate.

I've read in a few places that stirring/shaking it around daily will help it
clear better. True or false? My instructions that came with the kit said
just let it sit around for eight days. Also, is longer than eight days
better? Make the wine clear better?

Last question regards extra tools. Dear Husband is making something up to
me, and I'm thinking I want a bottle tree and a sulphiting dish that
squirts the sanitizing solution up into my bottles. Worthwhile investments?
They're about $20 each here.

I've been looking in the classifieds for folks who could be wanting to get
rid of their stuff, but haven't found much, with the exception of a corker
at a yard sale for $1.

Thanks!

KD
