Hi all.
I am doing a SUPER TUSCAN wine kit from Winexpert Selection series. After pouring the concentrated grape juice into the primary and normal starting steps - they have a bag of grape skins, you are to mix in. Which I did. In a week, I'm suppose to put a little filter attachment on my hose and let it strain out the floating skins. I did a kit similar to this (a Pinot Noir, with skins) and the little nylon filter kept clogging. Finally, I poured the must through a course bag to get out the "floaters". Maybe this introduced too much air to my must. ? Anyways... I have a better idea this time. My question is: Could I just take a strainer and swish it around the must and take out most of the floating skins that way? I would sterilize it of course. I have a plastic one, and could press it to get out the most liquid. Since I'm dealing with only 6 gallons, this makes sense to me. Any expert opinion or wise-cracks? :*) -- DAve p.s. I read this newsgroup almost daily, really learn from most of you, and some of you... I am amused by. haha. Both are appreciated. |
