After having discovered that my 2007 Cab restarted MLF in the bottle it made me think of what I got going. I have a couple Chard's that I did a partial mlf. I...
You can try http://www.finevinewines.com/ they do sell 6 gallons of juice but its not "fresh". They have one of the biggest selections of "kit" wines I've...
Brehm, is one of the largest and $$$ for fresh grapes / juice but I'd think that in California with all the vineyards there, there must be custom crushing /...
Nomacorc recommend the use of a Brass jaws, that you will find only ( theses day at least, Terry is just old !! ) on Italian floor corker as long as I know (...
If you switch, try not to go with an other synthetic closure or you may have the same problem. Go with agglomerated or natural corks. Séb ... From: David...
Didn't have your morning coffee yet eh Seb?? The Portugese one I have at one has the brass jaws and the Italian ones that we have at the winery are also brass....
No, no burrs. I took the head apart, and found some grime and corrosion inside. I cleaned it up, re-lubricated (food grade lubricant) and reassembled. It...
The name of the cork I metioned is Altec (not Artech). These are a blend of cork and synthetic that seal well with my corker. Any experience with these? ...
Seriously Terry I've never seen online in any catalog a Portuguese with brass jaws, except if they where replace with brass one. I don't think someone could...
Just rechecked it Seb, says "Made in Portugal" and it has brass jaws. Can't remember how long I've had it for, so much have been available, although maybe not...
It's not that I don't beleive you Terry but only that I really don't think it is still available now. ABC Cork which are a Canadian Wholesalers only sell...

My Portugese corker I bought last year has plastic. For what it's worth. There are lines visable in the normacirc but they seem to be tight against the glass...
On my Portuguese floor corker, which by the way should be called a bench corker since it screws nicely to a bench and would break your back if you had to screw...
Terry, It is exactly like the one on ebay, and thanks. Mine is in much better condition, still has much of the gray paint on it. and there is NO rust anywhere....
If I want to keep the buttery taste the MLF gives a wine is it simply a matter of racking it off the lees quickly and starting the fining or is there something...
You are right. Racking off the lees as soon as the MLF is completed. Then finning and filtering to remove most yeast cell. If not, the yeast will consume...
Is it the live yeast only that consumes the Diacetyl? Would Biolees have a similar effect or can you use Biolees and keep the butter taste? Wayne ... ...
It's usually the dead yeast cells rather then the live ones that reduce diacetyl. Look at: http://www.laffort.com/en/downloads/F-com/FC_ANG_biolees.pdf I'm not...

That is a good question. I don't think that the Biolees have the property of consuming the Diacetyl but you have a good question there for the Lallemand...
I don't know of a winemaking live show, but I do have a live webcam in my winemaking area for winemaking events in my basement. I also have a winemaking DVD...
I put an Email into Lallemand and will report their response. Question for you, how fast does the diacetyl get consummed? The Malo was started toward the end...
Biolees is a product of Laffort so Lallemand may not be able to answer your question. Waiting till the weekend to rack the wine should be fine as the reaction...
Thanks Terry, and I did send it to the Laffort address and not Lallamand (I got the email from the PDF link you sent). Hopefully they will respond. Wayne ... ...
