■ Although I could deal with closer suppliers,
none come close to MoreWine’s product
selection, customer service and consistently
low price. Olin and his team work very hard

■ I stopped buying supplies from other
companies a few years ago because your prices

Making Wine From Kits
MoreWine!

Frequently
Asked Questions
What will I need to get started
making quality wine at home?
Typical timeline for making wine
from concentrate kits
All MoreWine! concentrate kits come with complete, detailed, step-by-step
instructions. The timeline below is intended as a brief overview only.
Its simple. Just select one of our winemaking
equipment kits and one of our wine concentrate kits. You will also need two cases of
empty wine bottles.
I'm new to winemaking. How
long will it take before I'm
making good wine?
Step 1 – Day 1
First prepare the included bentonite solution
(clarifier) in your primary fermenter, add grape juice
concentrate, then top-off with water to make 6 gallons,
and stir-in any oak, if applicable. Check the specific
gravity, and then add your yeast. It's that simple!
Immediately! Anyone can make good wine
the first time using any of our kits. Many kit
wines have won awards in local and regional
wine making competitions.
Step 2 – Day 7
Use hydrometer to check progress of
fermentation, then transfer wine to clean
glass carboy and attach airlock. Allow to
sit for 10 days.
How long do I have to wait
before I can drink the wine?
Bottling your kit wine comes 4–8 weeks after
making it. The wine is then drinkable. However, your wine will improve with time, and
the ideal length of aging depends upon the
variety of wine you are making.
How do I make wine directly
from grapes?
On page 8 & 9 we discuss what's required to
make wine from grapes. Depending on previous exposure to winemaking, where you live,
and the availability of quality wine grapes, we
often recommend that you start with a concentrate kit in order to learn some of the basics. Call one of MoreWine!'s experts to help
you decide which approach is best for you.
Step 3 – Day 17
Add all remaining packages of stabilizers and clarifiers. Stir
vigorously to mix-in additives and dispel the dissolved CO2
gas that is in solution. Top-off carboy with filtered water or
similar type wine, and allow to sit for 8 days.
How do I make a Fruit Wine or
Mead (honey wine)?
Step 4 – Day 25
Transfer wine to clean glass carboy fermenter
and top-off with filtered water. Allow to sit
until clear. Usually, this will take another 14
days, but it could take somewhat less or more
time.
On page 15 we discuss what's required to
make wine from fruit or honey. You will also
find great books on making wines from fruit
and honey on pages 15 and 26.
What wine Styles are best made
from kits?
Overall we think that the white wines and
lighter reds turn out the best. Heartier reds
really benefit from having an extended contact
period with the skins during a traditional red
wine fermentation. However we have customers who love these 'big red' kits and have even
won awards with kits based on varietals such
as Syrah/Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Step 5 – Day 40
When the wine is visually clear of sediment
proceed to bottling.

these four carefully selected books.

Standard Starter System
Deluxe Starter System
Make great wine from concentrate
at home – easily and affordably
The easiest way to make quality
wine from concentrate kits
Start making great wine at home with a small
investment in some quality equipment. This inexpensive MoreWine! starter package includes all the
equipment you will need to begin making wine from
concentrate.
This equipment kit, designed to work in conjunction with our wine concentrate kits on pages 6 & 7,
makes 23 liters of wine, or about 6 gallons. Primary
fermentation will take place in the included 6 gallon
bucket. After the primary fermentation is complete
you will transfer the wine into the included 6 gallon
carboy leaving behind the sediment from fermentation. After a few weeks you will siphon the wine into
bottles using the included siphon kit.
We have included all the necessary cleaning equipment and a hydrometer for testing the completion of
the wine. Also included are 25 corks and a corker for
bottling and corking your own wine. You will need
to purchase a wine concentrate kit from our extensive
selection on pages 6-7. You will also need to save or buy
approximately 24 (2 cases) 750ml wine bottles.
Techniques In Home Winemaking
Take your home winemaking to the next level!
The second book we recommend after Home Winemaking
Step-by-Step. A little more
advanced and a great second
outlook on home winemaking.
A modern review of the larger
equipment available is included,
as well a ton of information on
testing, adjustments, etc. Pambiahchi. BK605............... $18.95
MoreWine's deluxe equipment package is designed
around the V-Vessel system, a great way to make a
batch of wine from concentrate. The V-Vessel eliminates having to transfer from one container to the
next, reduces the risk of contamination, eliminates
heavy lifting, and simplifies the process of making
wine from concentrate.
The conical shape allows sediment to naturally
flow to the bottom. The included collection ball lets
you easily remove the sediment and yeast as needed
without having to siphon the wine to another container. When it comes time to bottle remove the collection ball, attach included tubing and proceed to
bottling.
We have included all the necessary cleaning and
testing equipment. Also included are 25 corks and a
corker for bottling and corking your own wine. You
will need to purchase approximately 24 (2 cases)
750ml wine bottles and a wine kit from our extensive
selection on pages 6-7. Available with or without our
unique stand, custom made for the V-Vessel.

Wine Bible
The most comprehensive wine book available!
"The most complete wine book ever"
is the qoute that Robert Modavi
used to describe The Wine Bible.
We couldn't agree more. Crammed
with information, pictures, photos,
charts and detailed maps, this is
the most informative book ever
on the subject of wine. The first
100 pages are dedicated to wine
education, featuring chapters titled
What Makes Great Wine Great?, Where It All Begins, How
Wine is Made, Getting to Know Grapes, Before you Taste,
and Tasting Wine Like a Professional. The next 810 pages
(gasp!) take you on a virtual wine trip around the World.
Learn about the grapes, climate, soil, history, and wines of
nearly every famous wine region. But don't be intimidated
– you don't have to start on page 1 – as you can dip in
anywhere. The author, renowned wine teacher Karen
MacNeil, spent 10 years researching and writing this epic.

Gertting Started Making Red Wine
MoreQuestions!
S
M
"I'm just starting out and want to make wine
from grapes, not from concentrate. What
equipment will I need?"
Typical time line for making
Red Wine from grapes
Answer: The equipment you'll need will vary with
the amount of grapes to be processed and methods
you choose to follow. However, here is a good starter
set for making wine using up to 200 lbs of grapes
(100 lbs of grapes makes about 6 gallons of wine.)
Step 1 — Day 1 Run grapes through crusher/destemmer
and into fermenting tanks. This removes 90% of stems and
breaks the grapes open.
Necessary Items
■ MoreManual! on Red or White Winemaking
available free with your first order!
■ The book Home Winemaking Step-by-Step
■ Crusher/Destemmer
■ 20 or 32 gallon food grade plastic primary
fermenters (2) & Lids (Page 13) for the pick
and the ferment
■ Grape Press
■ 6.8 gallon glass carboys (2) (FE330)
■ 5 gallon glass carboys (2) (FE320)
■ Breathable Bungs (2) (FE479)
■ One gallon glass jars (2) (FE300)
■ #6 Stoppers (2) (FE420)
■ Stopper plugs (2) (FE400)
■ Airlocks (4) (FE370)
■ 12" Funnel (BE494)
■ 1/2" Racking (siphoning) set-up (R315)
■ Carboy cleaning brush (CE40)
■ Acid test kit (W500)
■ General hydrometer (MT300)
■ 14" Hydrometer jar (MT332)
■ 1 lb Tartaric acid (AD621)
■ 1 lb Potassium metabisluphite (AD500)
■ Star San Sanitizer (CL26A)
■ Yeast (Use 1 gram per gallon of must)
■ Fermaid K (AD345B)
■ Go-Ferm Nutrient (AD342)
■ Oak Chips or Cubes
Step 2 — Day 1
Test juice from crushed grapes
(now called must) for correct sugar levels, acidity, pH
and SO2 levels. Adjust according to our MoreManual
on Advanced Winemaking or the directions in a book
such as First Steps in Home Winemaking by Iverson.
TM
Step 3 — Day 1
temperature (70°–85°F)
Step 4 — Day 2-7
Once ferment is under way "punch
down" the cap by pushing the floating skins back into the
ferment. The more often the cap is punched the better.
Step 5 — Day 7-14 Once the ferment is over, press
the wine off the skins and transfer to a carboy or other
storage container that will accept an airlock and stopper.

Getting Started Making White Wine
Typical time line for making White Wine from grapes
Step 1 — Day 1 Remove grate from destemmer/crusher and
run grapes through. Transfer grapes and stems to wine press.
Step 2 — Day 1
Immediately press
grapes and pour juice into fermenter.
Step 3 — Day 1 Test juice for correct sugar levels, acidity and
SO2 levels. Adjust according to our MoreManual on Advanced
Winemaking or the directions in a book such as First Steps in
Home Winemaking by Iverson.

The Little Things
■ After the initial ferment air/
oxygen is the enemy and should
be avoided! Especially important
when making white wine.
■ It is imperative to schedule on
your calendar the transfers in steps
6 & 7 to remove the wine from the
yeast (lees).
Step 4 — Day 1 Reactivate yeast and add to
juice at room temperature. Attach stopper and
airlock to top of fermenter. Ideally, you would
place your fermenter in a cool location, between
50-60˚F, for the duration of the ferment.
Doing a "Barrel Ferment"
■ You can ferment with oak
cubes or chips during the primary ferment to simulate a 'barrel ferment'. The oak qualities
are absorbed in a manner that
provides tannin structure without a real big oak presence in the
nose or flavor. Add 1-2 oz per 5
gallons. With many styles you will
still want to additionally add oak
during aging.
Making Great White Wines
■ Fermenting your white wine
between 55–60˚F helps retain the
fruit flavor of the grape. A spare
refrigerator, or air condidtioned
room, controlled with our Temperature Controller, FE600, is an
easy, affordable method ($54) of
achieving this temperature range.
■ Malolactic fermentation can
add its own soft butter flavor depending upon strain and handling.
Read the ML product descriptions
and read the side bards to determine which culture would best
suit your flavor preference. .
Step 5 — Day 14-21 Once the ferment is over, transfer wine to a
carboy or other storage container that will accept an airlock and stopper. You may choose to add oak and/or a malolactic culture at this time
depending upon the style of white wine and your taste preferences.
Step 6 — Day 30-60 Days If you did not initiate a malolactic fermentation in step 5 transfer off sediment to a new carboy. Test and adjust acidity,
pH, and SO2 levels. Ideally, do at least one more transfer 3 months after this
transfer.
Step 7 — After 30-90 Days
If you did initiate a malolactic fermentation in step 5 check for completion of malolactic by performing a chromatography test. If complete, transfer off sediment. Test and adjust acidity, pH, and
SO2 levels. Ideally do at least one more transfer 3 months after this transfer.
Stirring Your Lees
■ Stirring your lees (yeast) up
from the bottom of your storage
container on a weekly basis helps
malolactic fermentation to finish,
increases mouthfeel, and reduces
the risk of potential prolems
caused by compacted yeast.
In late spring proceed to bottling.

Crusher Destemmers For Home Winemakers
C
rusher/Destemmers are used to first crush wine grapes and
then separate the grapes from the stems. The manual model is
appropriate for small lots of grapes, while the motorized versions
become a necessity for larger volumes. All of our models have
adjustable roller spacing, allowing you to select a thorough crush,
or more of a separation of the berry from the stem. The machines
are made for us in Italy and feature our MoreWine!TM brand name.
These units are Absolutely Guaranteed!TM for 3 years. We maintain a
careful involvement in the manufacturing process. By offering what
have historically been our most popular models we are able to stock
replacement parts. For more details on each machine please refer to
our extensive website.
Manual Unit with Sloped Bins
TM
MoreWine! Offers this Enamel-Coated Unit with Optional Stainless Bin & Agitator Upgrade
This hand-cranked Crusher/Destemmer is perfect for the home winemaker processing small
batches or is working in conjunction with friends who don’t mind a little manual work! As
the unit is cranked, the grapes are pulled by the agitator into the aluminum rollers where first
the grapes are crushed. Next, they fall into the stainless basket where a rotating shaft with
spikes separates stems from grapes. The crushed and de-stemmed grapes then fall through
the basket while simultaneously the stems are pushed out the end and into a refuse can. All
our units feature removable-to-clean stainless baskets (grates) where the grapes fall through
after having been crushed. Overall Dimensions: 48”L x 27”H x 20”W

Motorized Units With Screw Feed
TM
These 3 MoreWine! Crushers/Destemers can be Enhanced with the Stand & Chute Option
These motorized units feature an auger-type screw feed for continuous, faster, hands-free
operation. The enamel-coated unit features adjustable aluminum rollers. The partially-stainless and all-stainless units feature adjustable rubber rollers. A powerful 1hp motor provides
an hourly production of approximately 3000–4000 lbs. The motor-pulley assembly is nicely
protected by a stainless steel shroud. Rollers are adjustable on all units. By upgrading this
unit with our Stainless Stand and Chute (WE260) you can easily discharge crushed grapes
directly into our 32 gallon food-grade fermenter (W509), while simultaneously sending the
stems into a garbage can. The stainless grate slides out from the machine for easy cleaning.
All units feature a unique, instant-stop safety button. Overall dimensions: 47” long x 19.6”

MoreWine! Stainless Stand & Chute
TM
Designed, Engineered and Manufactured by—and Available Exclusively from—MoreWine!
TM
After using the above Italian crusher/destemmer units for a many years ourselves, we designed
and manufactured a special accessory stand that is just tall enough to allow grapes to drop
directly into your fermenter or transfer container. Many customers opt to use our 32 Gallon
food-grade containers (which we sell as WE509). A regular garbage can can be placed at the end
of the unit to collect stems. By using the MoreWine! TM stand you eliminate the need to move
the must and stems from container-to-container, thus saving time and energy. The stand is
constructed in our Concord, California fabrication shop from 304-grade stainless steel. This
model fits our WE270 and WE273 series of Crusher/Destemmers. Does not fit models from
other manufacturers.

MoreWine! Stainless Steel baskets offer a slightly better press in our opinion, because
the holes in the basket are smaller. Since they are made from stainless steel they offer
a lifetime of service. The base, stand and basket are all 304-type stainless, while the
shaft and mechanism are painted steel.

Italian Bladder Presses
Bladder presses offer a gentler, yet more efficient press with less operator effort and
the ultimate in press-control. You will extract more juice and less tannins. Attach a
standard garden hose to the included hose fitting. Water fills up the interior rubber
bladder which expands and presses the grapes against the outer stainless steel screen.
So easy, it is truly a joy to use! See our website for more information.

German Speidel Brand Bladder Presses
TM
Speidel was the original manufacturer of the bladder press. While similar to the Italian
models in operation, Speidel offers a few quality upgrades. To obtain a better press
Speidel uses a slotted screen, instead of a screen with circular perforations. Slotted
screens are typically used on larger commercial bladder presses. Speidel presses also
offer superior hardware, a recessed valve assembly (to reduce accidental breakage) and
a stainless tripod frame on the 180L model. Note that Speidel offers a 90L model in
place of an 80L model.

Eliminate transferring by dumping lees out the bottom
The V-Vessel is a 6 gallon food-grade plastic conical
fermenter that comes with a bracket for mounting to the wall.
No you can easily make kit wines without having to
transfer. Procedures of sampling, dumping lees, and
transferring wine is more easily done.
Our favorite part of the V-vessel is the perfect conical
geometry and the yeast collection ball. The steeply sloped
cone allows for all the lees to conveniently slide down
into the collection ball. The collection ball uses a unique
cam lock system that allows for super easy removal. For
a photo demonstration of use, please see the V-vessel on
our website, www.winemaking.com.
The V-Vessel will sit in a bucket if you want to fill it
on the ground. Then move it to its own stand on the wall
where it is out of the way of kids and pets.
Made from heavy-duty, oxygen-resistant plastic, these
conicals are seemless on the inside. Includes mounting
bracket, cleaning brush, cam-lock yeast collection ball,
cam-lock barb for attaching tubing, and a stopper and
airlock. See picture of optional floor stand on page 5.

UPS. *All other bins are considered oversized by UPS and
we charge you actual UPS rates. Please call or visit our
website for a rate qoute. The 44 Gallon container is too
large for UPS and must ship freight. Usually this is only

Lees Stirrer
Easily degas kit wines or stir your lees
back into suspension when making white
wines with this handy drill powered stirring tool. The blades fold down allowing
for easy insertion into a barrel or even a
glass carboy. As soon as you turn your
drill on the blades expand to create a
powerful stirring action. We do not recommend using in a carboy that is topped
full because the stirrer displaces too much
liquid and also creates a vortex that will
send wine out the top. In these cases a
hollow racking cane works exceptionally
well. Works with 3/8” or larger drills.

full to allow space for the fermenting cap
of skins to rise. Fill too full and you will
have a huge mess all over your floor.
■ 100 lbs of grapes results in roughly 8
gallons of must which will press down to
about 5-6 gallons of wine.
SM
Filling A Barrel
It takes about 1,100-1200 pounds of grapes
to fill a 60 gallon (225L) barrel including the
10% reserve that will be needed for topping
up. Approximately 550-600 lbs are needed
for a 30 gallon barrel.

Macro-Oxygenation
Macro-oxygenation is the process of dissolving oxygen into your fermenting wine during
fermentation. Our general procedure is to apply
2-5 milligrams per liter of must per day, starting
once at cap formation, once the next day, and
upto 2-3 days past that point. Exactly how much
oxygen per dose and how many applications
depends on the grapes you are working with and
the style of wine you want to make.
One benefit of macro-oxygenation is the
promotion of yeast growth and general yeast
health which results in stronger finishes and
full flavored wines. Other benefits are said to
include increased color depth and stability. In
our experimentation, the oxygenation has helped
to soften the wine, by reducing the sensation of
tannins, while simultaneously allowing more fruit
to come through.

MoreWine! Stainless Punch Down Tools
These stainless punch-down tools are ideal for punching
the cap on a red wine ferment back into solution. Unit
A, our economy version, is great for the homewinemaker
fermenting in plastic barrels or small stainless fermenters.
Unit B, available in two lengths, are more professional
quality units with heavier gauge stainless and a rubber
grip. Use them for small containers and macrobins. Unit
C is a larger, more versatile unit for macro bins or larger
tanks. Since we make these in our metal shop custom
lengths/makes are avaiable at an adidtional cost. *Punches
are oversized and do not qualify for our free shipping policy.
They will be charged actual UPS shipping costs.

MoreWine! Stainless Diffusion Stones
For purging wine with Nitrogen or Argon to eliminate
dissolved CO2 or for macro-oxygenating with Oxgyen.
Diffusion stones are made by compressing very small
pieces of stainless together. When gas is forced through
the stone it acts much like the airstone in a fish tank,
dispersing thousands of 2 micron bubbles. Each stone
is 3/8" in diameter and 1" long. Our small stone comes
with a 1/4" barb. The two longer diffusion stones have
3/8” OD stainless tubing with 2 micron sintered stainless
steel stones attached. Attach 3/8” ID tubing. 26" version
has bend at top. 36" version is straight.

Frozen Grapes From Brehm Vineyards
The Brehm Company offers home winemakers and
small commercial wineries a unique opportunity to buy
extremely high-quality FROZEN grapes year around. For
more than 30 years, Peter Brehm has been growing and
personally selecting some of the highest quality grapes
grown in California, Oregon, and Washington.
Red grapes are destemmed, crushed and frozen.
White grapes are pressed and the settled juice is frozen.
The freezing process reduces bacteria and unwanted
natural yeast, while not altering the character or quality
of the resulting wine. Freezing does contribute to better
color extraction and increases the yield for red grapes.
This freezing process was pioneered by Peter Brehm in
1974. Many wine makers have won prestigious awards
with the wine made from Peter’s fresh and frozen grapes
and juice.
The containers of grapes sold by Brehm Vineyards
include information about the grapes, including the

Alexander’s brand grape concentrates come in 46 fl oz cans.
You can make 5 gallons of wine
with 2–3 cans and added sugar.
Recipes come on the side of the
cans. Many customers use these
concentrates to boost sugar
levels in their wine. If you live in
a cooler region where achieving
proper sugar levels in grapes
is an issue, you can add these
extracts instead of adding plain
sugar. Alexander’s supplies wineries around the world
for precisely this purpose.

Honey
We offer our own mixed-variety of honey at a fantastic
price. It comes from the California Central Valley where
we pick it up from the apiary ourselves in 55 gallon drums.
Because it has not been heat-pasteurized or altered like
the honey you buy in stores, it may crystallize with time
and temperature. This has no affect on quality.
It starts as a blend in the hive as the bees are exposed
to a mixture of fruit trees, clover fields and wildflowers.
We have found it makes a terrific, complex, base-mead
that tastes great by itself and at the same time blends well
with other meads.
We also offer single-source honey that comes either
from bees that stay in one location or apiaries that pull the
honey when the bees are moved from that particular field.
It is more expensive than our blended honey but having
access to these different flavors is well worth the cost.
On any order over $59 honey is shipped free. A great
deal on a heavy product!
A Morewine! experiment: Using the identical yeast, we made five onegallon jars of mead with five different honeys. In another experiment we
used 16 different yeast strains to make sixteen one gallon jars of mead
using the same honey. The result demonstrated that there is an amazing
flavor difference between honey types and yeast types.
Mead, or honey wine, is probably the world's oldest
alcoholic beverage, because it was simple to make and
requires a minimum of equipment. Dilute honey with
water and then ferment with yeast. Making mead is
easy because high quality honey is available year around
and you can easily ferment mead with the winemaking
equipment you already have.
Meads can be complex when the honey you utilize
is complex. Combine the different honey flavors with
the flavor characteristics of some of our unique wine
yeast strains to make your own creation. For our 8 page
MoreManual on meadmaking please see our website or
request a hard copy with your next order.
Dry wine yeast, as well as yeast nutrients, are available
on page 48. Using Fermaid K, a type of yeast nutrient,
for the first few days of fermenation will greatly aid in the
speed of fermentation.

Fermenting Sake is easy to do with our new Sake Kit.
Included in this package are all the ingredients for you
to make Sake (Filtered), Nigori (Un-filtered), or the
“original” Doburoku, (Sake with rice), which is tradtionally eaten, much like a porridge. Each 400g package makes
about a quarter of a gallon of rice wine. The kit comes
with the rice, Koji, yeast, and lactic acid already mixed in
- just add hot water and stir once a day - that’s it! If you
would like to make more, another kit - or more polished
rice - can be added. A growler with an airlock is the best
container we have found to ferment this kit in.

airlock, a reuseable mesh bag, and our Sake kit. A typical
method is ferment the sake in the growler and then to
pour out the contents into a large bowl or container.
Using the bag as a strainer, gently pour the unfiltered
sake back into the growler for storage, trying not to spalsh
the sake. You may want to get a funnel with a piece of
tubing on the bottom in order to reduce the amount of
aeration encountered when straining. Or, if you have
a second growler, you can just pour off into that one.

Each 49 oz can of raspberry, cherry, apricot
or peach puree is made from 100% fruit and
is devoid of pits or seeds. Use one to two cans
per 5 gallon batch of mead. One can will give
a slight flavor while two cans will produce a
more pronounced fruit flavor. Add to mead
post fermentation to infuse fruit flavor. The
purees can also be used by themselves, and diluted with
water, to make excellent fruit wines.

Variable Volume Tanks
Fermenters for Small Production
MoreWine!'s TM Variable Volume Fermenters
Offer the Best Value In Home Winemaking!
Attached nylon cord for raising and lowering lid.
Built-in airlock.
Inflatable seal pumps-up tightly to the sidewall
Variable volume fermenters allow you to conveniently raise and lower the fermenter lid, thereby
accommodating different volumes of wine with a minimum amount of head space
Built-in gauge measures pressure inside
the seal, allowing you to double check at
a glance.
Stainless — Stainless steel is the material of choice because it is food-grade, easily cleaned, long lasting, and
won't react chemically with your wine.
Pressure release valve.
Stainless Steel Ball Valves — These special valves eliminate any possibility
of metallic off-flavors caused by chrome-plated, brass ball valves. Chrome-plated
brass valves remain the home industry standard, even though the potential for
metallic contamination exists.
Super-tough sticker indicates volume in 10 liter
increments.
Pre-Assembled Lids — In order to ensure correct assembly (they can be
tricky to put together) and to save you time, we pre-build the lids in our shop
before we ship them to you.
Hand pump for adding air (pressure)
to the seal.
Fabricated from 304 type,
brushed stainless.
Thermometer Coupler — We weld-in a 1/2" coupler (directly above the
valve) so that you can optionally add a thermometer (MT500) or a thermowell
(FE616) for monitoring temperature. The coupler comes standard with a 1/2"
stainless plug.
Built-in stainless 1/2" fpt coupler for the optional addition of thermometer. Comes standard with 1/2" stainless plug.
Built-In Airlock — These food-grade plastic airlocks allow CO2 to release
but keep dust and airborne contamination out. Airlocks are threaded and attached
to the lid with a locking nut, allowing for fast, easy removal. After alcoholic and
malolactic fermentation is over, we replace the airlock with a solid stopper or a
breathable silicone bung.
Stainless ball valve. You might also want 1/2"
mpt x 1/2" barb (H618 on Page 47)) for attaching 1/2" id tubing.
Large Tanks/Large Valves — We sell 1.5", winery-grade, stainless butterfly valves
on any tank larger than 55 gallons. This helps to eliminate clogs.
3 sizes - Dimensions
available online
Correct Geometry — MoreWine! does not sell tall, skinny, variable volume fermenters. The reason is that
the cap (layer of skins) on top of the ferment is too thick and therefore does not release enough heat, resulting in
a greater probability of problem ferments.
Customizable — We have a fabrication shop onsite and can weld-in any type or size fitting you want. The
most popular additions are gas fittings welded into the lid. We can weld-in gas fittings with a quick-disconnect or
barb. We have a listing of optional weld-on packages, including purge valves and rotating racking arms, on our
helpful website at www.MoreWineMaking.com.

Optional Manways — Several manway options available
MoreWine! TM would like to introduce you to our line
of ultra-high-end stainless tanks built in Germany by
Speidel. German engineering and craftsmanship have
always been considered among the world’s best and
these tanks reflect that tradition. Though they cost more
than similar-sized Italian made tanks these German
masterpieces are well worth the extra money. They are
still less expensive, and yet nicer, than most American
made tanks.
For starters, they are backed by an Absolutely
Amazing! TM 25 year warranty! This warranty is honored
by both Speidel and its U.S. representative Wine, Wine &
More Wine. While the generous warranty speaks volumes
about the quality of these tanks, your first impression
(and that of every customer who sees them) will be
the glossily polished, marble-pattern finish that is the
hallmark of every Speidel tank. German craftsmanship
is very obvious in all construction aspects. The flawless,
machine-made, continuous TIG welds are smooth and
have no open pockets that could harbor bacteria. The
smooth, bright interior (2R) is easy-to-clean and resists
tartar build-up. All manways are seamlessly molded into
the tank instead of being welded on. The tanks are on
average 20% thicker than their Italian counterparts. Definitely the tanks of choice for our own winemaking.
Unlike our Italian tanks, German tanks from Speidel
do not come with valves.
The famous Speidel 25 year warranty includes the
tank and lid, but not the pump assembly or the bladder tube on the variable-volume fermenters (which
instead includes a standard one year warranty from
MoreWine! TM)
If you have questions about quality or would like to
talk with someone who has used Speidel tanks we can
supply referrals upon request.

304 Type Stainless — The most common type of
stainless steel alloy used in the winemaking industry
is type 304. It is sometimes also called 18-8 because it
contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. The presence
of Chromium and its oxides, provides protection
against oxidation and rusting. If the protective oxide

sion, clean thoroughly and allow to air dry which will
repassivate the surface.
Cleaning & Sanitizing — You have to clean
your stainless fermenters before you can sanitize. Any
residual material on the surface will keep you from
sanitizing any bacteria/wild yeast that are hidden
underneath the material. A good choice is to clean
with our non-abrasive white scrubby pads to remove
any organic material followed by sanitization with
Star San which is a phosphoric acid based sanitizer.
See page 25 for all of our cleaning and sanitizing
agents. Do NOT use bleach for cleaning or sanitizing

Selecting Types • Toast Levels • Barrels
American, French or Hungarian? — On average, American oak (Quercus alba) has about 20%
non-tannic phenolic content while French and
Hungarian (Quercus robur) have around 14%.
The non-tannic phenolic content represents the
perfumed/aromatic portion of the oak. However,
French and Hungarian have nearly 2.5 times the
extraction of phenolic (tannin) compounds than
does the American oak. In other words, American
Oak will be more aromatic, but French and
Hungarian will generally have better structuring
abilities. Note that barrels made from the same
species of oak but from different coopers will
have amazing differences due to different forests
that have been used, how and where the oak was
seasoned (air dried), coopering techniques and
especially the different toasting methods used.

MoreWine! Signature
Refurbished Barrels
High quality and excellent flavor
MoreWine! Signature barrels are refurbished for us
by a small cooper who uses an innovative, proprietary
refurbishing process that results in superior barrels.
The first part of the process is to remove the outer
metal hoops and extract the barrel heads. Then a very
unique, and patented, planer is placed inside the barrel,
removing 1/4" to 5/16" of oak 'with the grain'.
After the barrel and heads have been planed back
to virgin wood, they are placed into a temperature and
humidity controlled room where the wood moisture
is dropped to below 13%. This unique drying process
volatizes any remaining ethanol and wine essence. The
combination of removing all wine soaked oak via the
planing process and then extracting ethanol and wine essence through dehumidification helps to eliminate some
classic problem aroma/flavors, such as cooked prunes and
paint thinnner, that can potentially be associated with
refurbished barrels.
After the barrel is dehumidified it is retoasted to a
medium, medium plus, or heavy toast level. The barrel
heads are toasted as well and then reinstalled. During
toasting the barrels reach a temperature that kills all living
organisms, thus assuring sanitation. After toasting the
barrel is tested with water to check and then inspected
to make sure there are no leaks or defects. Each barrel is
fully guaranteed against defects.
When compared to a new barrel, a MoreWine!
signature refurbished barrel imparts nearly as much oak
flavor but with roughly half the tannin impact of a new
barrel. This is an especially ideal solution for the home
winemaker using smaller barrels (anything less than 60
gallons in size) where it is easy to impart too much tannin
Toasting Levels — After selecting the type of
oak to use, either American, French or Hungarian,
you will need to choose a toast level. We have
been told by more than one cooper that toasting
has the biggest impact on flavor, much more than
the source of the wood or the length of aging. The
duration and the intensity of the heat during the
coopering and toasting process has a tremendous
effect on the amount of individual compounds
that are produced in a barrel. There are three
common levels of toasting: Medium, Medium
Plus, and Heavy.
Flavors of the Toast
We have prepared a rough guide to describe how
some of the various compounds in oak will behave
when they become toasted. Understanding these
can only help when trying to decide which level
of toasting will be more apt to give the desired
character to a particular wine:
• The lighter the toast, the more tannins (structure)
and lactones (coconut) will be present.
• The darker the toast, the more spice and smoke
notes will be present
• The darker the toast, the more deep the caramel
tones will be, moving into butterscotch flavros at
a medium plus level of toast.
• Vanillan will increase up through a medium-plus
toast and then decrease with a heavy toast.
• Medium plus is the most complex of all of the
toast levels and the default toast level we use with
our barrels. However, there are situations where a
medium or heavy toast may be a better fit for the
wine you are making.
• Heavy toasts are rich and intense. One of the
advantages of using alternatives such as cubes or
segments is that you can use a portion of heavy
toast cubes with your biggest wines.
efits of using a barrel in the first place such as mellowing
& concentration happen slowly over time.
New, Refurbished or Used — A new barrel offers
the full impact of flavor and tannin in the first year.
It will continue to impact the wine for up to 3 years,
after which time it would be considered in most cases
to be completely neutral. A refurbished barrel offers an
equivalent flavor impact of a new barrel but with roughly
half the tannin impact of a new barrel. A used barrel is a
barrel that has been through at least one season. A large
advantage of using a refurbished barrel over a used barrel
is that our refurbished barrels have been heated during
the toasting process, killing nearly all bacteria and wild
yeast, effectively sanitizing the barrel.

for the professional winemaker who wants to test the
flavor of these barrels or has a small amount of top up
wine to structure.
Technical note: When comparing to a new barrel, it is
most appropriate to compare to a thin stave barrel. The
refurbishing starts with a used export barrel with thicker
staves and after planing is equivalent in thickness to a new
thin stave barrel. Thin stave barrels in general allow for
more oxygen interaction (over time) with the wine than
does a thicker staved export style barrel.

New French Oak Barrels
High Quality — Excellent Flavor
MoreWine! has chosen to work with a select group
of respected French coopers, known for making quality
barrels. Most of the barrels we list here are under 60
gallons. If you have a need for new barrels over 60 gallons
we are happy to qoute you a price or make a suggestion
on who you might contact.
Since new, smaller barrels (under 60 gallons) have a
huge impact on the wine, medium toast levels are usually
chosen by the coopers as a default toast level. We would
like to remind you that you will need top-up wine in
reserve if you plan to use a barrel. Please see our kegging
system for the ultimate top-up tool.
Enjoy peace of mind when ordering barrels from
MoreWine! as we guarantee that all barrels will seal
when proper filling procedures are followed during the
barrels first use. Proper procedures can be found in our
MoreManual on the Proper Care & Storage of an Oak
Barrel. This informative paper is linked as a .pdf to each
barrel on our website or can be requested as a hard copy
at time of order. If a barrel should fail during the intial
use eventhough following proper procedures MoreWine!
will replace the barrel free of charge.

MoreInfo about Ozone
SM
B
New
When it comes to sanitizing, it is hard to beat ozone,
especially for sanitizing barrels without removing wood
flavor. It basically annihilates enzymes, microbial
membranes and removes unpleasant taste and odour
causing compounds. It does this by instantly destroying
on contact all known bacteria, virus, molds, spores,
yeast, mildew, microscopic fungi and biofilms. What’s
more, it accomplishes this without the use of chemicals
or leaving any residue. However, it is important to
keep in mind that ozone is a sanitizer, not a cleaner.
Surfaces need to be clean first, then ozonated in order
to be effective.
So, what is it? Ozone (O3) is an extremely unstable
gas molecule made-up of 3 oxygen atoms, and it works
by instantly transferring one of these oxygen atoms to
any organic substance it may come into contact with
- thereby oxidizing, or “frying” that substance. Once this
third oxygen atom has been exchanged, the molecule
immediately returns to its more stable form of O2.
Because of this instability, ozone must be generated
on-demand by the use of an ozone generator. The
generator essentially runs compressed air though an
electrical charge, forcing the O2 to temporarily take up
an extra oxygen atom and become O3. This O3 has a
half-life of roughly 10-18 minutes in water, depending
on the level of contaminants and the initial purity, and
around 30-36 minutes in the ambient air (note: that
cooler temperatures and higher humidity will increase
this amount).
Ozone is used in two forms: as a gas and dissolved in
water. Both are effective, but have their own advantages
and disadvantages. In the gaseous form, ozone can
penetrate deeper into nooks and crannies that might be
missed by a spraying-over with ozonated water. On the
other hand, ozone applied in the gaseous form will not
have the advantage of the mechanical scrubbing effect
that comes as a result of the water hitting the surface
being treated (which could help to dislodge layers of

Sulphur
A) Sulphur Stick
Suphur Sticks are used by some winemakers to treat oak
barrels. The stick is suspended in the barrel and burned
before the barrel is put away for storage. In general, the
coopers we are in contact with recommend 1/3 to 1/2 of
a stick, per 60 gallon barrel. Use 2" to 3” of a stick per
60 gallon barrel.

B) Sulphur Discs
Definitely preferred to the sulphur sticks, these dripless,
pre-figured discs allow you to burn the correct amount
of sulphur with ease. Use the 2.5 gram size for 30 gallon
barrels and the 5 gram disc for 60 gallon barrels. The disc
can be lowered into the barrel with a length of copper
wire, which is secured in place with your existing bung.
However, for superior results we recommend using one
of the Sulphur Burners below to ensure that sulphur ash
does not fall into the barrel. 10 per pack.

contamination, i.e.: a biofilm on a cellar floor). It is
up to winemakers and cellar masters to decide which
form is best for each individual application (in the
gaseous form for the cork storage room, and in the
liquid form for washing-down surface areas and
equipment, for example). Ozone in the gas form also
requires more attention to operating procedures and
proper ventilation. You should not use Ozone gas in
an unventilated space.
Of the many uses for ozone in a winery, probably
the best is in the treatment of barrels. A general
recommendation is to first do a hot water wash in
order to dissolve the tartrates which opens up the
pores of the wood, then rinse with cool ozonated
water, closing the pores and cooling the barrel down.
Several studies have shown that using an ozone rinse
to sanitize barrels has no ill affect on oak flavors
or on the actual wood of the barrel itself. What it
does do is effectively knock down the microbial
population - including SO2 resistant strains, such as
Brettanomyces - of a barrel to almost nothing at each
treatment without having to bump the SO2 levels any
more than usual. This being said, it should be noted
that ozone does not sterilize the barrel, and invariably
a few organisms will survive in the pores of the wood
only to build their populations back up until the
next racking and treatment. Therefore, ozone should
not be viewed as a replacement for SO2, rather as a
synergistic tool to be used in conjunction with it in
order to help a winemaker more effectively manage
their microbial populations.
Both machines we sell should be used in a well
ventilated area. When ozone is dissolved in water, not
all of the ozone goes into solution. Larger machines
(such as those availabe directly from McClain) suited
for indoor use employ a degassing chamber to remove
any excess ozone that does not go into solution. See
website for additional information.

SM
Using Chips, Cubes, Segments & Staves
Chips versus Cubes, Segments, Staves
When comparing cubes, segments, or staves to chips, it is
important to keep in mind the following: chips are often
made from lower quality, un-seasoned wood and depending on the source this will most definitely come through in
the finished wine with various degrees of harshness. That
being said, there are exceptions and some suppliers such
as MoreWine! do get their chips from actual cooperages
(instead of a cabinet shop or furniture mill…) and the
flavors and aromas from these can be quite good.
Chips are not a complete oaking solution
Chips should be viewed as a tool rather than a complete
oaking solution because of their thin shape and size.
During toasting, due to their lack of mass chips react
quite quickly to the heat and they all toast to a comparable
level, leaving them monochromatic with no gradations of
color. Since, when toasting oak what you see is also what
you taste, this lack of gradation unfortunately translates
into a lack of complexity in the toasted chips final flavors
and aromas. In addition to the toasting issues, the smaller
size of the chips makes for a quick release of all of its
compounds in a very short period of time. This may be
great for quickly getting toasted oak components into
a fermentation (indeed, this is probably the single best
use for the chips), but when the ideal is a slow and steady
extraction rate over a period of several months to a year
or so, a winemaker should probably forego the chips in
favor of the cubes or staves.
Stavin™ Cubes, Segments & Staves = Top Quality
Get the same quality of oak flavor that you would receive
from a $700+ French barrel with StaVin's high quality
oak products. Used in many of America's finest wineries,
StaVin oak is crafted from tight-grain French, American
and Hungarian oak staves. The staves are seasoned
(air-dried) for 36 months, just as if they were destined
for highest quality barrels. All staves are fire toasted
using StaVin's proprietary methods and then cut to the
dimensions that wine pentrates wood over time. The
result is a gradation of toasting that slowly contributes a
multitude of positive flavor compounds over time, just
as a barrel would do. Normally cubes are used with small
batch sizes while segments and staves are used in batch
sizes of 60 gallons and more.
Using Oak in the Ferment of a Red Wine
Using Toasted Oak During a Ferment
It is interesting to note that during a red wine fermentation, compounds derived from toasted oak are a highly
effective, natural additive for initiating the stabilization of
color and cross-linking grape tannins to help build midpalate structure. These components can come from chips,
cubes, segments or staves and all are effective. However,
each will differ in their rate of extraction based on surface
area and exposure to end grain (the end grain extracts
at a quicker rate than the rest of the wood surface). The
extraction rates for the different oaks can be broken-down
as follows (from quickest to slowest):
• Chips - around 7 days
• Cubes - 2 months min, useful life of 1 year
• Segments - 3 month min, useful life of 18 months
• Staves - 3 month min, useful life of 2 years
So, with the exception of the chips, we can see that once
the 2 to 4 weeks of a primary fermentation are over, each
of the toasted oak products have a useful life far beyond
this time period. Therefore, the winemaker can carry the

Using Toasted Oak During a Ferment
When
using toasted oak to structure a red wine fermentation the oak really needs to be in constant contact
with the liquid portion of the wine throughout the entire
fermentation. So, with this in mind, it is recommended
to use a food-grade nylon bag (usually for the beans and
segments) and either weigh it down or tie it off in the
fermenter so that the wood remains under the cap (the
nylon bag also makes transferring the oak into the next
vessel post-press all that much easier.)
Oak Infusion Tube
An easy way to integrate oak chips, cubes or segments
into a 60 gallon barrel is to use an infusion tube which
can be pulled at anytime. Ideally suited for holding 8
ounces of cubes at a time. Perforated 304 stainless construction with silicone bung. WE628................... $65.00
StaVin™
Oak Cubes
Oak Chips
Our high-quality, yet inexpensive oak chips come from
a local cooper in Napa. They offer an affordable way to
integrate quality oak flavors into your wine, but do not
offer the complexity provided by the StaVin™ cubes.
Chips are Medium Toast.
oak through with the wine into the next tank post-press
in order to continue the extraction during the structuring
and maturation periods.
The minimum amount of toasted oak needed to
achieve cross-linking and structuring during a fermentation is 2-8 lbs of chips, cubes or segments per ton (1
ton gives around 160 gallons or 606 liters of must when
crushed). Broken down even further, this works out to
.2 to .8 ounces per gallon or .05 to .2 grams per liter.
Use amounts on the lower side for chips and on the
higher side for segments.
StaVin™ Oak Cubes are a great step-up in quality from
chips, offering the full spectrum of oak flavors that you
would expect from a high-end barrel. The cubes are a
great for use during the ferment or in smaller vessels.
They especially work well with glass carboys and other
containers with small openings. We choose to sell the
Stavin™ brand because of their great flavors and excellent
reputation and history in the wine industry.

Stavin™
Oak Segments
If you are looking to replicate barrel flavors as closely as
possible, then StaVin's™ Stave Segments are just right
for you. Less end-grain than the cubes means a slower
extraction over a longer contact time, which will lead to
a softer, more rounded mouthfeel. Many professional
winemakers who have used these segments have said the
flavors produced seemed more like those from regular
staves in a barrel. The recommended ratio for 100% new
barrel flavor is about .5 lb per 5 gallons of wine. Since
the exraction is so slow, the minimum contact time is
16 weeks and they can be left on the wine for up to 18
months. All segments are made from French Oak and
feature a Medium Plus toast.

StaVin™ Oak Replicas
The Oak Barrel Replica is a simple and
perfect way to impart 100% new barrel
flavor into wine stored in a neutral oak
barrel. 30 staves are tethered into 10
sections, which allows modification and
complete control. If you want 50% of
new barrel extraction spread over two
barrels, simply cut the Replica in half.
The contact time is 3 months minimum
and up to 18 months of useful life. Comes
with a wood bung for direct insertion into
your barrel. Toast level is Medium Plus.

Bottle Fillers
Corks
Stainless Gravity Fillers
Counter-Pressure Filler
Put one feed line into this filler
from your fermenter or barrel
and fill three bottles at once. Unit
comes included with a Siphon
Bulb for conveniently starting a
siphon from the holding tank to
each filler spout. Each bottle fills
independently of one another to
allow for staggered filling (take
one bottle off as another is filling). Fill is initiated when bottle
is lowered onto filling spout and locked into place with
built-in bottle neck clasp. Filling shuts off automatically
when the bottle is full. Spouts feature a unique design
that eliminates dripping when bottle is removed. A float
valve keeps the wine level constant in the wine reservoir
at all times. Each spout fills about two bottles per minute.
Built-in drain allows for easy cleaning. All metal parts
are made from 304-type stainless steel. Replacement fill
spout seals are available. For professional quality units
please see page 44.
WE602 (3 Spout).............................................................$275

Fill still or carbonated wine into
bottles from a pressurized vessel,
such as a stainless keg. Connects
to keg and to inert gas source
(Argon, Nitrogen) at the same time.
Included three way ball valve allows
you to purge the bottle with gas and
then fill with wine.
This is the safest, highestquality, method to get your wine
into bottles, because it allows for
complete purging and filling from
the bottom up. Works great for
the homewinemaker when you are
utliziing the benefits of stainless
kegs for storage.
Made entirely from 304 stainless
steel and food grade plastics.
Not shown in picture is an included
brass pressure-relief valve used
when filling carbonated wine into
bottles. Mfg by MoreWine!

Corks are normally sold by bags of 1000. These bags come
sealed directly from the cork manufacturer. When we do
repackaging into smaller bags we do all of our work under
a HEPA filtered laminar flow work space to help ensure
you receive the cleanest corks possible.
Overruns
Our best deals on corks typically come
as overruns. They might be winery
or manufacturer surplus. Some have
printing, sometimes they have had
the printing shaved off or some might
never have been printed. We buy small
lots, which rarely exceed 50,000 corks,
and sell them at great deals, often half
the price of new corks. You get a great,
winery quality cork at a fantastic price.
Styles and pricing are always changing
so please see our website or call our 800#
for the current selection of overruns.
Overrun Corks.....................Market Price
Super Extra
High-end solid, one-piece corks for
your very best wines. Similar or better
quality than our overrun corks without
the printing. There are cheaper corks and
there are more expensive corks on the
market and we chose this level because
we thought it represented the best mix
of quality and price.

Italian Floor Corker
Quality floor corker with brass
jaws and effortless performance. If
you are serious about home wine

a heavy-duty floor corker as they

comfortably compress a synthetic
cork. W410.............................$89.95

A) Enolmatic Bottle Filler
B
C
A great bottle filler for the small-scale winemaker.
Through the use of a vacuum the Enolmatic filler automatically starts a siphon and automatically shuts off when
the bottle is filled to the perfect height. The rate of fill is
fast - allowing you to bottle up to 180 bottles per hour.
The Enolmatic's siphon will suck wine directly from
your fermenter, storage tank, or barrel, which can be
located up to 13 feet below. No need to start a siphon or
to have to pump or move your wine above your filling
machine.
Fill speed can be adjusted allowing you to bottle at
your preferred pace. While the filler is in operation wine
is not allowed back into the storage tank or barrel due to
a one-way valve located in the supply line. The fill height
can be adjusted and is designed to be used with any size
or type of bottle.
The Enolmatic is is constructed entirely from
food-grade materials. Simply run water through the
system to clean out the lines. The reservoir for excess
overfill can be rinsed out or ran through the dishwasher.

Italian Table Top Corker
A table top version of our Italian
floor corker, featuring the same
quality brass jaws and effortless
performance. Great for use with
natural or synthetic corks. These can
be the ideal solution in some assembly lines when the full wine bottles
will be set on a table to be corked.
W410B......................................$74.95
Double Lever Hand Corker
B) Enolmatic Inline Filter Housing
The easiest hand-corker to operate,
especially in a single person
operation. The only
disadvantage is that the
pushdown mechanism
imprints the cork, leaving a
small circular indentation on
top. If we got stuck on a desert
island and had to pick one hand
corker to bottle our coconut wine
(because we would be fermenting
something!) it would be this one.
W405.......................................$24.95
Use in conjunction with an Enolmatic filler to filter wine
inline as you are bottling. Saves time by eliminating
a separate step and allows you to filter without using
a pump or exposing your wine to oxygen. This filter
unit is placed inline between the product and the filler
itself. Filters are available in 5, 1 and .45 micron ratings.

Nomacorc offers all the risk-free protection of a synthetic cork with an
exterior that more closely resembles
a natural cork. Cork failure and other
complications - such as TCA - that
can arise from using a 100% natural
closure are a non-issue with Nomacorcs.
Extruded from a blend of mediumdensity, elastic polymers, Nomacorcs
are easier to remove from the bottle than
other synthetic corks. Meets FDA and
international food contact standards. #9

Synthetic Corks
Synthetic corks offer a seal that never
fails without the worries of TCA. They
are quite often used in white wines,
blushes, and early-maturing red wines.
With big reds that age, most customers
still prefer natural corks, though this
may be changing. Synthetic corks
should be installed with a floor corker,
as more force is required.

The Bookstore
Home Winemaking Step-by-Step
The first book we recommend you read!
Techniques for Chemical Analysis
Wine Bible
THE lab book for the serious professional and personal
winemaker. Spiral bound and
laminated, this book is designed
to be used as a “go-to” reference
and is equally at home in both
a lab or in a winery. It covers the chemical analysis
of winemaking in depth, with chapters on setting up
quality assurance practices, sampling procedures, cellar
opperations, stability tests (fining), and much more. It is
presented in a clearly illustrated and straight-foreward
manner that manages to be widely accessible without becoming “dumbed-down”. A great tool for winemakers who
may not have a degree based in science, but who may need
to know how to properly care for their wine from a technical
stand-point. BK651.................................................$199.95
"The most complete wine book
ever" is the qoute that Robert
Modavi used to describe The
Wine Bible. We couldn't agree
more. Crammed with information, pictures, photos, charts
and detailed maps, this is the
most informative book ever
on the subject of wine. The
first 100 pages are dedicated to
wine education,
featuring chapters titled What
Makes Great Wine Great?, Where It All Begins, How Wine
is Made, Getting to Know Grapes, Before you Taste, and
Tasting Wine Like a Professional. The next 810 pages
(gasp!) take you on a virtual wine trip around the World.
Learn about the grapes, climate, soil, history, and wines of
nearly every famous wine region. But don't be intimidated
– you don't have to start on page 1 – as you can dip in
anywhere. The author, renowned wine teacher Karen
MacNeil, spent 10 years researching and writing this epic.
BK635...........................................................................$19.95
The ultimate resource for any wine lab

home winemaking. A modern
review of the larger equipment
available is included, as well a
ton of information on testing,
adjustments, etc. Pambiahchi.
BK605.................................$18.95
From Vines To Wines
Covers the entire spectrum
A great book if you are thinking
about a home vineyard. Half the
book is dedicated to the planning,
construction and maintenance of
a vineyard, and the other half to
the making of the wine. You will
still want to buy BK600 or BK605
for more in-depth winemaking
instructions. Cox.

Bi-Metal Thermometers
Are all bi-metal thermometers created equal? Not
really. With some bi-metal thermometers you have to
tap the thermometer to get an accurate reading. The
problem is that the bi-metal helical coil in the stem of
other bi-metal thermometers is tack welded to the stem
itself. This causes hang-ups to occur in the helical coil
resulting in an inaccurate reading until the thermometer
is physically tapped. Our thermometers made by Tel-Tru
feature a super sensitive bi-metal helical coil suspended
from a copper-coated bushing fixed in the stem.
This superior design provides a faster response to temperature changes and assures more accurate readings.
Bi-Metal Thermometers for Tanks
They are accurate to ± 1%, feature a polished 3” 304
stainless steel housing, a hermetically sealed water proof
case, glass face, external calibration capabilities and a
unique anti-parallax dial that provides for easy reading.
The range is dual scale, 20-240°F and -20 to 120°C.
The back connection is 1/2” MPT while the stem is 1/4”
stainless steel.

TM
Measure the brix level (sugar level) in your grapes with
just one drop! The perfect vineyard tool for monitoring
ripening grapes. We also use them after the crush to get an
exact brix reading. They cannot be used after fermentation has taken place as alcohol distorts the reading.
We have been a direct importer of refractometers
for seven years. Early on we purchased from several
manufacturers before settling on the current supplier.
We are confident in the quality and we back that up with
a two year warranty.
Traditional refractometers without ATC are calibrated
to work at 68˚F. The ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation) function allows you to use the refractometer
in an ambient temperature range of 50-86˚ Fahrenheit
(10-30 Celsius.) Because your sample is just one drop,
and will quickly adjust to the temperature of the refractometer, the temperature of the sample is irrelevant, it
is the temperature you are working in that is important.
Our unit also comes with a manual calibration knob that
is secured with a lock nut. To calibrate place one drop of
distilled water on the testing platform and adjust to zero
while working at 68˚F.
A) Standard Refractometer With ATC
Our refractometer is hand held with a metal body,
plastic hood and a rubber grip. 0 to 32% Brix scale with

MoreInfo about
pH Meters
SM
Preparing your pH meter for use —When you first
receive your pH meter, the probe will most likely
be dry and it will need to be conditioned before
it can be used reliably. This is done by removing
the protective cap that covers the probe, filling
the cap with a pH storage solution (MT618), and
replacing the cap so that the probe can soak in the
storage solution for a minimum of 4 hours. Once
the probe has been conditioned, you should keep
the cap filled with the storage solution for the rest
of your probe’s life.
Getting the most from your pH meter — The
electrode probe, the highly sensitve part of the pH
meter that measures pH values, is guaranteed for 6
months. However, if you take care of your meter,
i.e., keep it always topped-up with storage solution
you should reasonably expect to get about a year’s
use out of it. All of our meters featured here come
with replaceable electrodes.
Use your pH meter to test acidity — For the
home winemaker, using an acid test kit (W500) can
often be a frustrating (and inaccurate!) experience.
At first glance, the test itself is a fairly straightforward procedure - you take a specified amount
of sample, add a few drops of a color indicator
to it (phenolphthalein), and slowly add sodium
hydroxide (NaOH) until the sample changes color,
thus indicating the endpoint of the test and your
wines acidity. The difficult aspect is determing
exactly when the color changed. However, this
color change happens at exactly a pH of 8.2. By
using a pH meter in conjunction with an Acid Test
Kit you can tell exactly when the end point occurs,
resulting in far more accurate results.
Download our .pdf on using a pH meter — All
meters come with basic directions on how to
calibrate. We have written a MoreManual! on the
use and care of a pH meter to further help you get
the most accurate readings from your meter. It is
available in the information section of our website.
Upon request we can also send the document with
any order of a pH meter.

B)Phep 5 Replacement Electrode MT606A.............$54.00
Critical wine making decisions are based on pH. Feel
secure that you are starting with accurate data with
Hanna's commerical quality meter that is setting new
standards for pH meters.
Electrodes are the central, highly sensitive, components
of pH meters that degrade with time. In an ideal world,
you would automatically know the condition of your
pH electrode. Your meter would help you pinpoint
any problems and give you confidence in your results.
Hanna’s latest innovation in sensor technology assesses
the condition and response time of the electrode every
time you calibrate the meter. Results are shown right on
the display. The Calibration Check feature also tells you
if the electrode needs cleaning, is damaged, or even if the
calibration buffer is contaminated.
The highly advanced HI 222 pH/ORP/Temperature
bench meter is the centerpiece of a complete kit ideal
for performing highly accurate pH measurements in
winemaking applications. Featuring automatic buffer
recognition at pH 7 and 3, this meter is designed to
calibrate to the proper pH range from 2.5 to 3.5 pH with
an accuracy and resolution of ±0.01 pH.
Measuring in must is a particularly challenging
application for common pH electrodes. Sediments from
the must coat the electrode’s measurement surfaces
and will quickly hamper performance without frequent
cleaning. For this reason, Hanna introduced an electrode
that resists the sensor clogging effects of wine musts.
This special electrode features a measurement junction of ground glass to ensure proper flow of liquid
surrounded by a Teflon® sleeve to repel dirt. Equipped
with this exclusive Clogging Prevention System (CPStm)
technology, Hanna’s wine pH electrode will remain
responsive for up to 20 times longer than any other
electrode on the market.
For best accuracy in measuring wine, the pH electrode
and meter must be calibrated before taking measurements. A dirty pH electrode can give errors of up to ±0.5
pH, even right after a pH calibration has been performed.
Conventional pH meters, however, fail to warn the user
in the event a dirty pH electrode is used to perform the
calibration. Hanna’s meter detects when the electrode
needs cleaning, and gives a warning during calibration.

For the vast majority of winemakers, MoreWine’s Free
SO2 kit represents the only truly accurate and repeatable
method of determining free SO2 content in a wine sample
available today. Our kit uses the same method utilized by
professional wineries and labs all over the wine-making
world, “Aeration-Oxidation”. While you often find the
device set-up using a venturi to pull the gas through the
system (where it is referred to as: “Vacuum-Aspiration”),
this creates the need to have access to a water source
in order to run the test. Therefore, in the attempt to
streamline things and make your kit usable right out of
the box, we have chosen to use a pump to push the gas
through the system. This way, instead of hassling with
attaching a venturi to the nearest faucets and running a
line to the kit, you just plug in the pump and you are ready
to go. The kit ships complete with a high quality stand,
all of the lab equipment needed, reagents, and a full set
of comprehensive, step-by-step instructions.
You might also be interested in downloading our red or
white winemaking manuals which cover sulphite management in detail. Included are graphs correlating the pH of
wine and the correct sulphite level at that pH.

I want to set-up a basic lab for
testing wine – what should I get?
The essential basics for a home
winemaking lab:
Total Acidity Test Kit
A must have for any beginning winemaker
Used to tell you the acidity of your must or wine. Take a
specified amount of sample, add a few drops of a color
indicator to it (phenolphthalein), and slowly add sodium
hydroxide (NaOH) until the sample changes color, thus
indicating the endpoint of the test. Once it is known how
many ml of sodium hydroxide is need to reach a color
change, an easy calculation is performed to determine
acidity. A very simple test to perform.
Much more precise results can be obtained using this
test in conjuntion with a pH meter, stir plate and beaker.
See Stir Plate on preceeding page for more information.
W500...............................................................................$7.95
Chromotagraphy Test Kit
This is a test kit for determing if your malolactic fermentation has run to completion and converted all malic acid to

winemaker. Kegs come with built in gas and beverage
quick disconnect fittings allowing you to push wine out
using Nitrogen or Argon, while keeping the remaining
amount perfectly preserved. Uses include topping up barrels, storing wine long term, and filtering small quantities
using inert gas instead of a pump.You can even bottle
directly from the kegs using gas pressure with our special
filler. Also easily make your own sparkling white wine by
'force carbonating' with CO2 gas. Lid removes for easy

FDA rated clear tubing. All lines have 1/8” thick
walls and are rated for use in gas line applications
as well. Most gas line attachments such as regulator outputs, tap gas line connections and gas line
manifolds are designed to be used with 5/16” ID
line. MoreTip!: Use a glass of hot water to soften lines
for easy installation.
Cellar Keg
An affordable way to store and dispense top-up wine
Extremely easy to use and clean
When used in conjunction with the stainless steel tap
below, a stock (unaltered) keg is a cheap, effective way to
store 15.5 gallons of top-up wine while dispensing it on
demand with Argon gas. You can also take the inner spear
out and install a 2" clover fitting, end clamp and modified
gasket to use a keg as a stainless storage vessel. Using the
2" end cap and fitting allows you to have easy access for
sulphur additions or adding wood cubes. Later you can
put the spear back in for dispensing. We use these kegs
for our top up vessels and and are happy to explain our
processes in greater detail. Prices may fluctuate with the
price of stainless steel. Please see web or call for current
price. *Does not qualify for free shipping.
WE490.......................................................................$129.00*
The cellar keg starts as a brand new keg. Then the
valve/spear assembly is cut out and a 4" clover clamp
opening is welded in. This is done for two reasons: 1)to
allow easy access to the keg for additions of sulphite or
oak during aging and 2) makes it easier to get in and
physically clean by hand. The 1/2" wine-out tube goes
all the way to the bottom of the keg and can be connected to your top up gun via 1/2" ID tubing. The 1/4"
gas-in barb connects to 1/4" ID gas line for pressurizing.
For added safety a stainless pressure-relief safety valve
is also welded in. *Does not qualify for free shipping.

MoreWine! Bottle Filler
Fill from kegs or barrels
Fill still or carbonated wine into
bottles from a pressurized vessel,
such as a stainless keg, or even a
barrel when using a bull-dog to
pressurize the barrel. Built-in three
way ball valve allows you to first
purge the bottle with Nitrogen or
Argon and then fill with wine with
a switch of the valve. The bottle
is both flushed and filled from the
bottom resulting in almost zero O2
pick-up.
Works great for the home winemaker
or for the commerical winery that
wants to fill sample bottles from
specific barrels without oxidation.
Made entirely from 304 stainless steel and food grade
plastics. Not shown in picture is an included brass pressure
relief valve used when filling carbonated wine into bottles.
We are currently working on an all stainless steel version.

they never rust. To have tanks filled you will want to visit
your local welding supply shop. Most welding supply
shops will exchange you a full tank for your empty tank
(the majority do not fill on site.)We often suggest to
customers that they buy the regulators from us since we
have great regulator pricing, but actually buy the tanks
from their local gas supplier.

Comes with a built-in gasket where the regulator connects
to the CO2 tank, eliminating the constant replacement of
fiber washers. Also comes with a built-in shut-off valve,
a pressure relief safety valve, and our favorite feature – a
check valve that saves your regulator from liquid that may
flow back into the body. Our CO2 regulator has a blue
body while Nitrogen has a yellow body. We stock rebuild

A) Water Filter Kit
Buon Vino Mini Jet Filter
This compact filter is designed for the home wine maker
who is filtering 5–10 gallons. Filter at an approximate
rate of 5 gallons in 15 minutes. Ideal for filtering wine
concentrate kits. There is a small, built-in Flojet pump
that can be used for racking from one container to
the next by bypassing the filter pads. You should not
filter wine which contains solids such as stems or oak
chips. This will clog the pump and void the warranty.

Buon Vino Super Jet
A small plate-and-frame style filter for the home winemaker who knows the Mini-Jet is not big enough but does
not want to make the jump to our profressional grade
plate-and-frame filters. This unit has a self-priming pump
that sucks fluid from one container, through three filter
pads, and back into another container. Designed for home
winemakers who will be filtering more than 10 gallons at
a time. Filters approximately 70 Gallons an hour.
The built-in Flojet pump can also be used to rack wine
from one container to another by bypassing the filter
pads. Additional features include a carrying handle, built
in pressure gauge, on/off switch and 4' power cord.
You should not filter wine which contains solids such
as stems or oak chips. This will clog the pump and void
the warranty. If you think your wine may have solids
ask a customer service representative for a pre-filter. Be
advised that most plate-and-frame filters will drip during
operation. The pump motor draws .5 amps.

Controller Accessories
Temperature Controllers
A) Analog Temperature Controller
Make your own temperature controlled "cellar"
Use this analog unit to control the temperature of a
refrigerator, freezer, or air conditioner. It enables you to
store or even ferment wine at correct temperatures when
the ambient room temperature is too warm.
Your electrical cooling device plugs into this unit
which plugs into the outlet. A remote sensor connected
by a small capillary tube monitors temperatures. If the
temperature rises above your set point, the cooling device
is turned on.
The unit features a 4 degree swing to help extend the
life of the cooling unit's compressor. For example, if you
had it set at 68 degrees, it would turn on at 68 degrees
and go to 64 degrees before turning off. The unit has the
potential to regulate temperature from 20 to 80 degrees
Fahrenheit.
The sensor tube can be inserted into a refrigerator
or freezer, and will allow the door gasket to seal tight.
Temperature Range of 20 to 80˚F.

Stopper Thermowell
D) Digital Temperature Two-Stage Controller
Control cooling and heating simultaneously
Monitor fermentation temperatures
Now you can easily control two different temperature
regulating devices. This all new, two-stage controller
comes pre-wired with dual AC outlets. One outlet is
controlled by one relay, the other by a second relay. The
most common application is to use one stage to heat and
the other to cool. This means you can simultaneously
control a heater and a cooling device, never having to
manually switch between heating and cooling modes.
FE608......................................................................... $129.00
Keep the temperature of your fermenting or aging wine within one
degree of the set point on your digital
controller. This Stopper Thermowell
is used in conjunction with one of our
Digital Controllers to more accurately
regulate internal temperature during
fermentation or storage.
Designed to fit any container with a
1–1/8"hole, such as a glass carboy, the
unit comes with a 15” stainless steel
thermowell and a two-hole stopper with
1/4" and 3/8" holes. A perfect solution for situations requiring accurate
monitoring and control of liquid temper a ture. Will not work with our
analog temperature controller (FE600).

Coupler Thermowell
B) Digital Temperature Controller
Monitor temperature using this thermowell and a digital controller. It
threads into a 1/2" female coupler.
Works perfectly as an add-on to our
variable volume tanks. Completely
stainless. 5" overall length.
FE616..............................................$29.50
Control a cooling or heating device to within 1°F
Now you can precisely control the temperature of your
fermentation, or create a simulated, constant-temperature "cellar" for the long term storage of wine.
To control temperatures you can place the probe inside
the space that is being cooled or heated or you can place
the probe directly into the ferment using our Stopper
Thermowell (FE612), or Coupler Thermowell (FE616.)
You can change from cooling to heating mode directly
from the digital control panel. When in cooling mode and
hooked up to a refrigerator or other cooling device, the
controller turns the compressor on when the ambient
temperature rises above your set point. When in heating
mode and hooked up to a heater, such as our FermWrap
(Page 12), the controller turns on the heater when the
temperature drops below your set point. A FermWrap
around a fermenter can be the ideal solution for helping
MaloLactic finish the job.
The unit features an adjustable differential down to
within one degree in both heating and cooling modes.
This means you can precisely control an environment
to within one degree of your set point.
The included sensor probe monitors the temperature
while the digital readout displays it in either Fahrenheit or
Celsius. The sensor probe is 1/4” in diameter and works
well with the Stopper or Coupler Thermowells at right.
Temperature Range of -30 to 220˚F. Mfg by Ranco.
FE610...........................................................................$99.00
C) Unwired Digital Temperature Controller
Allows for customized hard wiring
This is the same unit, as FE610 above, but without any
pre-wired AC cords. It is for the 'do-it-yourselfer' who has
a solid, working knowledge of electrical wiring. Includes a
manual with sample wiring diagrams. FE610A......$64.00

The Temperature TamerTM
Hanger Bracket For Ranco
Digital Controllers
• Individually control the temperature of a bin or tank
• Ideal for cooling Macro Bin Ferments with Cooling Snakes
The Temperature Tamer hangs from the side of a bin
or tank and has a built-in temperature controller that
monitors the temperature and allows coolant or heated
water to enter a snake, plate or jacket to maintain your
ideal temperature. Theoretically you could be lowering
the temperature of a red wine ferment to 85F in one
tank while you cold stabilized a white wine at 30F in
the next.
The built-in Ranco controller allows for heating or
cooling, has a temperature range of -30 to 220˚F, and
will maintain a ferment or tank within one degree of
your set point. The controller opens and closes the
built in electronic solenoid valve to start or stop the
flow of coolant.
The included thermal sensor comes with a custom
floating thermowell for macro bin ferments. If used in a
tank, you would need to insert the thermal sensor into a
thermowell mounted or welded on your tank.
An example set-up for cooling macro bins: Using one
of our glycol systems run an outgoing and incoming
loop of 1/2" line that is always recirculating cold glycol.
Wherever you have a bin that needs cooling, tee your
Temperature Tamer input into the outgoing line and the
output in the outgoing line.

Glycol Chillers
could hold fermenting must at different temperatures
or cold stabilize in one tank while you control the other
tank at cellar temperatures. This involves setting up a loop
that the glycol is continually running through. Each tank
and its cooling apparatus is then connected to the loop.
A temperature controller, automatic solenoid valve, and
thermowell on each tank or bin allow cold glycol into the
Snake, Plate or Jacket as needed to maintain temperature.
1 Year Manufacturer warranty.
For complete, customized cooling packages please
contact one of our customer service representatives.
*Glycol systems do not qualify for free shipping.
Glycol systems can be used to cool wine during various
stages of production and storage. A mixture of glycol and
water is chilled as low as 20 degrees, held in an internal
reservoir or bath, and then pumped through a MoreWine!
Cooling Snake, Plate or Jacketed Tank to cool your wine.
Each unit comes with its own thermostat to control glycol
temperature.
In the world of glycol systems, these are very small
units. They are perfect for the small producer who wants
a portable system to move to a tank or wants to set up
to cool a few small tanks at one time. They are not a
good choice if you plan on expanding your production
and want a glycol system that will handle that increased
volume. We are happy to refer you to glycol specialists
when your needs exceed the realistic expectations of
these machines.
In conjunction with a Cooling Snake or Plate these
systems ARE ideal to cool macrobins or other small tanks
during fermentation. We also have several small wineries
using them to control temperature on aging wine and to
perform cold stabilization in the tank.
We are happy to help you determine if one of these
chillers is appropriate for your needs and to set you up
with the needed hardware to complete a cooling loop.
We do have packages that allow you to control tank
or bin tempreatures independently of one another. You

Cooling Plates
Cooling Snakes
Cooling Plates
A new & unique alternative to
cooling plates. This tube-withina-tube snake is used to recirculate
glycol or cooled water through
your ferment to keep temperatures
down. It can be be hard mounted
or dropped into a tank, macrobin,
or even barrel. The inner pliable
PVC tube runs through the middle of the corrugated
stainless tubing, alowing the Glycol to run through the
inner PVC tube and back through the outer stainless
tube, completing the loop. A special silicone stopper
can be purchased for placement around the head of the
snake so that it can be dropped into a variable volume
lid or barrel, making an airtight seal with no additional
modifications needed. The length and cooling surface
area (listed in square meters) is listed after each product
number. When used for heating, snakes can handle
temperatures up to 140˚F. Upon request, snakes can be
manufactured to handle hotter temperatures.
Weld-Less Cooling Plates
Same exact 304-type stainless
plates as above, but with WeldLess fittings. You drill or punch a
hole into the lid of your tank and
this plate will install into place
making an airtight seal. We weld
a stainless washer and threaded
male nipple onto each inlet
and outlet tube and provide all
necessary hardware to seal.
Traditional cooling plates made
from 304 Stainless Steel with 1/2"
MPT inlet and outlet. Bulkier and
less adaptive than cooling snakes
they can restrict the range of
motion on a variable volume
lid. However they clean easier,
especially when used for cold
stabilization. They are also less
expensive than cooling snakes per
square meter of cooling surface
area. We also offer these plates
in a weldless configuration (see at
right.) Inlet and outlets are barbed
(have ridges) beyond the threading
so you can attach 1/2" ID tubing
directly.

Small Commercial Processors
Stainless, Motorized Processor includes Screw-Feed — and Must Pump
TM
The Ultimate Wine Grape Crusher/Destemer for the Large-Production Home Winemaker or start-up winery — Exclusively from MoreWine! .
Pumps Your Must Directly Into The Fermenter
This one-of-a-kind, 100% stainless steel crusher/destemmer is built-to-spec especially for
MoreWine! It is truely the ultimate machine for the large production home winemaker. The
built-in must pump moves crushed grapes (must) out of the crusher destemmer and directly
into your fermenting vessel. It frees up your time and energy and accellerates production. The
must pump is essentially a screw-feed (the same type of mechanism that feeds the grapes to the
rollers on top), located in a bin beneath the grate. The grapes fall through the grate into the bin
and the screw pushes the crushed grapes into a centrifugal pump. The pump outlet diameter is
60mm,(about 2.5”). You will need to order a length of 2.5" ID, food-grade, reinforced tubing
to make it operational (H986 @ $4.50/ft).
High-Volume Processing Power
The unit will process 5,500 to 7,000 pounds an hour which makes it an ideal unit for the high
volume home wine maker or small winery.
Superior Ease-of-Use
The screw-feed at the top of the processor feeds grapes — hands free! — into the rubber rollers.
Screw-feed mechanisms offer a constant-volume supply of grapes to the rollers, which accelerates the processing. When it comes time to clean, the unit opens in the middle on a hinge. The
loosening of a couple of bolts allows for the removal and cleaning of the screen. This solidly-built
unit comes with two wheels on one side for wheelbarrow-type movement, which is a good thing
because it weighs in at a hefty 220 lbs. Overall dimensions: 51” long x 31.5” wide x 35.5” high.

High-Output, Commercial Machine
Heavy-Duty, Professional-Quality Crusher/Destemmer
No crushing for softer overall processing - Built In Must Pump
A
professional-quality unit for
the growing winery that prefers
to first de-stem the grapes and then
crush them. The rationale behind this
‘process reversal’ is to produce wine
with less tannin by not running stems
through the crushing rollers. This is
a centrfugal-type destemmer/crusher
which means that the destemming
basket and destemming shaft both
rotate. Centrifugal units have a higher
output than semi-centrifugal units,
have a gentler extraction of grape
from stem, and leave fewer stems in
the basket, allowing for easier cleaning. The basket and shaft both rotate
in the same direction but at different
speeds. Please note that this unit does
not come with a built-in must pump.
You will need a dedicated must
pump to keep up with production.
The Liverani must pump on pg. 46
is a perfect match for this machine.
Speed control from 350 to 550 rpm
allows for total control over output.
Discharge outlet is 3" tri-clamp connection. Feeding hopper has screw
auger to automatically feed grapes
into destemming chamber.

Features:
• Semi-Centrifugal Destemmer

• 220V Single Phase Motor
• All sheet metal is made from 304-type
WE286
he rollers on a crusher/destemmer can only be separated so far
without also separating the gears that
drive the rollers. In a destemmingonly machine the rollers are removed
to eliminate crushing. Grape berries
are still separated from the stem by
the rotating destemmer bar and are
also cracked in most cases. An ideal
processor for those making Pinot
Noir or using Carbonic Maceration.
However, some vintners even choose
to use this style of machine for all of
their varietals. Very little shredding
of the skins and no potential for
seed degradation (and the resulting
tannin pick-up.) Nearly identical
to our WE290 but without the the
rollers, this machine comes with a
built-in must pump that features
a 2.5” outlet. Screw feed allows for
constant hands free feeding of the
grapes to the destemming chamber.
Made of 304-type stainless steel.

Punch Down Tools
Macro-Bins
Normally in stock after Aug. 1st, if you need bins sooner
please let us know. The most popular bin in the wine
industry for picking and fermenting. Made from injection
molded, high-denisty food-grade plastic, they are built to
withstand forklifting. Holds just under a half-ton of whole
grapes or approximately 3/4 ton of crushed fruit. Because
they have an internal flat bottom, smooth curved hygenic
surfaces, and a great geometry, they are often used as an
inexpensive primary fermenter. They work well for this
application because they offer good heat dispersal and
skin contact. If cooling or heating is necessary consider
our cooling snakes that can be "snaked" through the cap
and fermenting must. For total temperature control use
our Temp Tamer™ with a Glycol system and 3.5 meter
snake to maintain exact temperatures. *Does not qualify

BladderPress
Italian Bladder Press
Bladder presses offer a gentler yet more efficient press with less operator effort and the ultimate in presscontrol. You will extract more juice and less tannins. Attach a standard garden hose to the included hose fitting.
Water fills up the interior rubber bladder which expands and presses the grapes against the outer stainless
steel screen. 35 p.s.i water pressure (2.5 bar) is the maximum pressure you would need to operate.
Two sleeves are provided with the press. One a mesh sleeve is placed inside the press and the other is an
outer plastic sleeve that is placed over the top of the press to keep the pressed fruit from squirting out. After
pressing, the entire stainless basket rotates and the inner mesh sleeve can be pulled out with most of the
pressed grapes coming with it.
We use this press in our own small production. A platform was built for the press to sit on so that when
we rotate the basket we can dump directly into a macrobin. Use a must pump to pump up into the press.
In each press load we do approximately 110 gallons of red wine must (letting free run on through) which
works out to be about 3/4 of a macrobin. We can press 7 tons of fruit in a long day.

Gas Bleeder for Variable Volume Tanks
System allows CO2 to be blown off but pulls in inert gas "on demand" if liquid volume contracts during storage
Protect your wine from oxidation! If you store wine in a variable volume tank in an environment that
is not perfectly temperature controlled and the temperature drops, the wine in the tank will contract.
As the wine contracts it creates a vacuum and pulls air into the tank. Even in a temperature controlled
environment sampling will pull in small amounts of air. The traditional airlocks used in variable volume
lids allow air to enter. If air does not enter the tank through the airlock (say if you had a solid stopper in
place of the airlock), the internal vacuum pulls on the entire lid, which often causes a gasket failure. The
solution is to replace your airlock with our MoreWine Inert Gas Bleeder.
Our system comes with a combination valve, diaphragm bleeder regulator, and tubing to connect to
a high-pressure regulator, and gas tank (tank and regulator available on page 34). As you can see in the
picture, the traditional white airlock is replaced with our black combination valve. The valve features a
spring loaded one way valve that always allows internal CO2 to exit the tank. However if the volume in
the tank contracts due to temperature, or if you reduce the volume via sampling, the combination valve
will suck in Nitrogen or Argon instead of air. The Diaphragm Bleeder Regulator (the white disc in the
photo) allows for inert gas from your traditional tank and regulator to be pulled through on demand
without putting actual pressure on the tank.
If you plan to use Variable Volume tanks for long term storage we strongly recommend these systems as
a safety guard against oxidation. Includes black combination valve, white diaphragm bleeder regulator, and
gas tubing to connect to a high-pressure regulator. WE399...............................................................................$350.00

Stainless Steel Valves — Stainless Steel eliminates any possibility of
metallic off-flavors caused by chrome-plated valves. Smaller tanks up to 100L
come with ball valves. Tanks up to 1000L come with 1.5" butterfly valves. Tanks
over 1000L come with 2" butterfly valves.
Cooling Jackets — Optional dimple-style cooling jackets are laser welded onto the fermenters. 24" jackets are good for most applications. 48" jackets
are used in extreme conditions where maximum cooling is needed.
Customizable — We have a fabrication shop onsite and can weld-in any
type or size fitting you want. The most popular additions are gas fittings welded into the lid. We can weld-in fittings for “quick disconnects” or barbs. We
have a listing of optional weld-on packages, including purge valves and rotating racking arms, on our helpful website at www.MoreWineMaking.com.

German Variable Volume Tanks Made By Speidel
Speidel Wine Tanks
Silicone Bladders
German Quality You Can Count On!
MoreWine! TM would like to introduce you to our line
of ultra-high-end stainless tanks built in Germany by
Speidel. German engineering and craftsmanship have
always been considered among the world’s best and
these tanks reflect that tradition. Though they cost
more than similar-sized Italian-made tanks, these
German masterpieces are well worth the extra money.
They are still less expensive, and yet nicer, than most
American made tanks.
For starters, they are backed by an Absolutely
Amazing! TM 25 year warranty! This warranty is
honored by both Speidel and its U.S. representative
Wine, Wine & More Wine. While the generous warranty speaks volumes about the quality of these tanks,
your first impression (and that of every customer
who sees them) will be the glossily polished, marblepattern finish that is the hallmark of every Speidel
tank. German craftsmanship is very obvious in all
construction aspects. The flawless, machine-made,
continuous TIG welds are smooth and have no open
pockets that could harbor bacteria. The smooth,
bright interior (2R) is easy-to-clean and resists tartar
build-up. All manways are seamlessly molded into
the tank instead of being welded on. The conical tank
bottoms come with moulded-in drains that allow for
complete drainage. The thickness of the stainless steel
used in constructing these tanks ranges from 1.0 – 2.2
mm. These are definitely the tanks of choice for our
own winemaking.
Unlike our Italian tanks, German tanks from
Speidel do not come with valves. We do have US
type, tri-clover type fittings welded on at the factory.
MoreOptions! include manways (which some tanks
include as standard), sight-gauges, top-hatches, and
cooling jackets.
The famous Speidel 25 year warranty includes the
tank and lid, but not the pump assembly or the bladder tube on the variable volume fermenters (which
instead include a standard one year warranty from
MoreWine! TM)

Filters & Corkers
Plate Filters
The Vigneron
Wine Bottle Filler!
Available from MoreWine!
TM
The easiest, fastest and least oxidative way for the small scale
winery or large scale home winemaker to bottle wine.
20cm x 20cm Plate Filters
Commercial quality plate filters featuring 20cm x 20cm
plates. Included 110v, 1/2hp, stainless pump will move
wine from your container and push it through the filter.
Filters oufitted with optional Noryl plates allow for steam
sterilization. 40x40 Plate filters are priced on our website
and available via special order.
Features:
Help eliminate oxidation in your bottling process by using
Vigneron’s volume-based filling system. Gravity-based systems
usually involve wine being transferred to a holding tank. Unless
the holding tank is pre-flushed or continually flushed with inert
gas, some degree of oxidation is inevitable. The other downfall of
traditional systems is that unless you have a high quality pump (low
flow, low shear value) there is probably some pump damage going on.
Vigneron filling systems have a closed pathway with a self-priming diaphram style pump. They also have as an optional
built-in sparging (pre-flushing) system that uses Nitrogen or Argon called Fast Automated Sparge (FAS).
To use, place four bottles under the filling spouts, select your bottle size, and push the AutoFill button. The built-in,
self-priming diaphragm pump pulls the wine from your barrel or stainless storage tank, distributes 750ml of wine to
each bottle, and shuts off automatically when the bottles are full. It is truly that simple. There is also a manual mode
allowing you to top up bottles or fill odd size bottles (connect tubing and fill magnums for example.)
• 304 Stainless Steel Construction
• Stainless Steel Valves
• Four Casters, 2 with locks, for easy movement
• Built-in centrifugal stainless steel pump
• Food-Grade plastic plates included
• Air release valve to bleed air or wine from filter
• Built-in glycerine-filled pressure gauge
• Dimensions & Weights can be found on website
• 10 Plate filter has flow rate of 39-79 GPH
The caveat of a volume based system is that each bottle gets 750ml (or 375ml or 1.5L.) The fill is accurate to within
+/- 2% accoring to manufacturer specifications. However, bottles vary in volume by a couple percent and when you
are filling by volume this can result in different fill heights, especially if you fill into the bottle neck, where differences
are exaggerated by the small diameter of the neck. Fill heights will therefore vary from bottle to bottle but differences
are usually not more than an inch. MoreWine! was the very first distributor of this product. CALL FOR MOST CURRENT PRICING AND FEATURES.

Vigneron Filler Features:
• Internal diaphragm pump is gentler on wine than most pumps and is self-priming with a lift capacity of over 3’.
• User selectable bottle size AND fill level controls
• Interior pathway is made entirely from food grade plastics and high-quality silicone tubing
• Incorporates patent pending Autofill and brand NEW Volumatic II balanced flow metering
• Manual operator mode, including a topping mode of operation for maximum flexibility of use
• All fillers are closed systems, helping to protect your wine from exposure to outside air.
• All Vigneron systems carry a one year warranty against manufacturer defects.
• Fill cycle lasts 20 seconds. Fill approximately 450 bottles per hour with a four spout unit or 240 with a two spout.
Further protect your wine from oxidation when using a Vigneron by adding the FAS option to your filler. Hit the
normal Fill Cycle button and gas bursts into the bottles just prior to filling. The time duration of the gas flushing can
be adjusted allowing you complete control over the quantity of gas entering the bottle. You will need to supply an
Argon or Nitrogen tank, regulator, and section of 1/4" tubing to connect an inert gas source to the machine.

The filters can be sterilized by in-line steam, auto-claving,
dry heat, or chemical sanitizers. These types of filter pads
carry a nominal rating, which means that the micron
rating is just an average. Some particulate below the
micron rating will be filtered out and some particulate
above the rating will get through. Each pad has a rough
side and a smooth side. Pads should be placed in the filter
in a rough-smooth-smooth-rough configuration. Sold

Gravity fillers are the preferred filler for achieving
exactly the same fill height in every bottle. As opposed
to a volume filler, such as the Vigneron, that puts 750ml
into the bottle, gravity fillers fill to a height you determine
and then shut off automatically. They are dependable,
simple to operate, have no electrical parts, and few
moving parts.
The negative aspect of using a gravity filler is there is a
much higher degree of oxidation that occurs during bottling. As opposed to the Vigneron which is a closed system
and offers nitrogen purging of the bottle, a gravity filler
picks up O2 in the holding reservoir and then again as it
•
enters the bottle. Some winemakers feel a little oxygen
during this process is ok, others think it can mute the
delicate flavors you worked so hard to achieve. It really
depends on your wine and your winemaking style.
These fillers are normally used with a pump, unless
the filler can be gravity fed from your barrel or tank.The
stainless steel float located in the reservoir physically shuts
off flow from the pump when the wine level is full and
then opens when the wine level drops.
Additionally a nice feature of these fillers is the adjustable stainless tray that the bottles sit on can be adjusted up
and down to account for different bottle sizes, allowing
you to fill 750 or 375ml bottles.
We can custom weld an Argon gas connect into the lid
of the reservoir that will offer you a significant reduction
in oxidation.
Features: • Each fill nozzle is independently adjusted for fill
height • All parts in contact with the wine are made from 304
type stainless steel • There is a drain located on the bottom
for draining after use • 3/4" inlet barb • Level gauge located on
the side of the reservoir • Approximately 3 bottles can be filled
per minute, per nozzle.

Do you have production runs too small for mobile bottling but too large to do by hand? This
gravity-fed filler with built-in corker offers you the
ultimate solution for your growing winery. Plug your
pump into this unit and the reservoir fill-level sensor
automatically turns your pump off and on. Air pressure
raises each bottle to the filler, fills it to a set height, and
then lowers the bottle back down. As bottles fill at alternating times, cork them on the adjacent built-in Professional Corker with integral Vacuum system. Takes one
person to fead the bottles and another to run the corker.
Approximately 700 bottles can be processed in an hour.
Please call to check stock or for current lead times.

The most versatile entry-level manual labeling machine
on the market. This machine is the perfect fit for the
small winery looking to use web rolls with a maximum
roll diameter of 8” and a web width (label height) of up
to 5” max. Will handle bottles with a diameter from 1/2
to 4 1/2”, and it is capable of labeling bottles with slight
taper. Front and back labels that are alternating on same
roll can be used with the optional gap guide. Unibody
construction out of Alcoa aluminum & stainless steel
means long-lasting durability. Will not label magnums or
3 liter bottles. WE974...............................................$995.00
Race Standard
The Race Standard model is a larger machine, constructed
from 1/4" machined Aluminum. It will handle a 12" web
roll with label height upto 7" in width. Because the Standard is larger, including an 8" roller length, you can label
1.5L, Magnums and 3L bottles. In fact, even bottles up to
8" in diameter, such as a standard one gallon apple juice
jug, can be labeled. The Standard also features an upgraded disc-style bottle stop guide mounted on the roller
which allows for slightly faster bottle placement during
use. An optional ‘gap guide’ is available for applying front
and back labels. WE972........................................$1595.00
Race Taper Capable
Race's answer to the growing trend in tapered bottles. The
aluminum rollers that hold the bottle slide in and out to
accomodate the taper of the wine bottle. Offers all the
same features of the Standard model but will accomodate
bottles up to 12" in diameter. WE970.................$1895.00
In-Line Semi-Automatic Labeler — American Made Quality
A table top, semi-automatic labeler that professionally places labels onto your wine or beer bottles up to 10” long.
Inexpensive when compared to larger labeling lines and superior in quality to similary priced imported machines, the
Webmaster is the ultimate semi-automatic labeler for the small winery or brewery looking to maximize their dollars.
The manufacturer is IN-LINE Labeling Equipment, an American company based in South Carolina, that has
developed a reputation for building top-quality bottling lines since 1994. Ultimately we chose to work with IN-LINE
because they offer a superior-quality, made in USA, machine. They machine a majority of parts on site in their South
Carolina factory. The high-quality motors used on the Webmaster are made by Baldor. In working with them so far it
is very evident to us that they share our serious dedication to customer service.
Machines willl be kept in stock and shipped free via UPS from our California warehouse in the Western USA and
directly from IN-LINE’s South Carolina warehouse in the Eastern USA. We offer two units, this unit with single label
capabilities and another unit with dual label capabilities, WE960.
This tabletop model applies labels 1” to 5 ½” tall and 10” long onto containers from 1” to 4 ½” in diameter. Simply
place the container in the cradle and slide it towards the label height stop. The upper spring-loaded roll holds the
container in place while the convenient foot pedal controls the dispensing of the label with “hands free” operation.
Apply 12 to 15 labels per minute or 720 to 900 per hour. The machine will go faster than this but these are actual output
numbers based on previous customers experience.
With the purchase of the Double Lable version (WE960), two labels can be applied to one bottle when the labels are
alternating on the same web. A take-up reel for the spent web can also be added.
Feel free to visit IN-LINE labeling on the web at http://www.labeling.net or come by our Concord, California
showroom to see the labeling machine in action.

Popular Pumps
A) Diaphragm Pump
The ultimate pump for home winemaking use. Self-priming (will push air) so that it can draw out of a tank. Gentle
diaphram action so as to not “beat up” the wine. Made of
food-grade, NSF approved, materials polypropylene and
santoprene, so no metallic interaction with wine. Pumps
3 gallons per minute. Flow can be restricted with an inline
valve positioned on the outflow side. Self-regulating motor
is designed to temporarily shut down, and then turn back
on, when restriction pressure exceeds pump capacity of
45psi. H305................................................................$139.00
B) Centrifugal Pump
This pump features a stainless body, housing, and bracket.
It utilizes an impeller made from food-grade plastic. The
impeller does not push air by itself so to prime it you
unthread the priming nut on top of the filter housing
and fill with water or wine. Comes with 1” female inlet
and outlet. Has a .8 hp motor and moves 13 gallons
per minute with no head. Will pump up to a height of
70’. 110v. Overall dimensions are 14.5” L x 7”W x 7”H.
Weighs 15.4 lbs. Optional by-pass can be installed to
restrict flow up to 25%.
H360 (Pump).............................................................$205.00
H360A (By-Pass for Pump)...........................................$80.00
C) Impeller Pump
A self-priming, reversible-flow pump with a natural,
food-grade rubber impeller for gentle processing. Pump
cavity will allow seeds and stems to pass through, but not
must. Large 1.5” Tri-Clover inlet and outlet with clamp
connections. This pump features a 1.2 hp motor and has
a maximum flow rate of 25 gallons a minute. The pump
body, mounting stand, and handle are all constructed
from stainless steel. H367......................................$650.00
D) MonoScrew Pump
Much gentler on wine than a centrifugal or impeller-style
pump, a monoscrew pump has a low shear value. The
rounded, internal stainless screw rotates wine through the
main cavity. They do cost a little more than a comparable
impeller pump, but considering the impact a pump can
have on your winemaking, we think it is money well
spent. This self-priming pump comes with an electronic
speed inverter to control flow from 0-15 gallons/minute.
The total flow control with low shear value makes this the
ultimate small winery pump for filtering, bottling, and
any sort of wine transferring. Pump comes with a fan
cooled motor, built-in bypass, and remote control.

Sulphites/Acids/Enzymes/Nutrients
Acids
Sulphites
Potassium Metabisulphite, (often referred to as “SO2”,
“sulphites” “meta”, or “meta-bi”) has several uses in
winemaking. At the crush, sulphites are generally used to
help control the spoilage bacteria and indigenous yeast
that may already be present both on the fruit and in the
winery (i.e. on the picking bins, processing equipment,
tanks, tubing, etc).
The amount generally used is enough to inhibit most
of the unwanted organisms but not enough to hinder a
cultured yeast, which has a higher tolerance to sulphites
than most of the indigenous organisms do. This inhibition
effectively “wipes the slate clean” for the cultured yeast
to step in and rapidly colonize the must so that it can
effectively dominate the subsequent fermentation.
In addition, sulphites also help to inhibit the enzymatic
browning of both musts and finished wines so that all of
their delicate complexities can be preserved. Later, during
storage and in the bottle, sulphites at the proper levels will
further protect a wine by continuing to inhibit spoilage
organisms, as well as by scavenging oxygen .
Note that the exact amount needed to effectively do
the job is determined by the pH of the wine. Refer to
our MoreManuals! on Red or White Winemaking or one
of the winemaking books that we offer for a complete
explanation on how to properly manage sulphites.
In addition, it’s important to keep in mind that free
SO2 levels fall faster in wood cooperage than in glass or
stainless, so if you are using a barrel you will most likely
need to manage sulphite levels more closely.
Powdered Potassium Metabisulphite
The most common form of Metabisulphte is as a powder.
1/4 tsp adds 50ppm to 5 gallons of must. Used Metabisulphite loses potency with time and should be replaced
every year to assure that you are getting correct levels.
You can use old Metabisulphite to make solutions for
sanitizing equipment.
Tartaric Acid
Preferred acid for adjusting acid levels in wine. 3.8g per
gallon adjusts acidity by +.1%. As a note: some tartaric
acid will drop out of suspension as Potassium Bitartrate
if you are doing any cold stabilization. You might want
to re-test total acidity after cold stabilization.
AD620 (2oz)....................................................................$1.95
AD621 (1 lb)....................................................................$4.95
AD620S (Sack)........................................................... $135.00
Malic Acid
3.4g per gallon adjusts acidity by +.1%. It will lower
pH less than will tartaric acid. Malic is less sour than
Tartaric Acid and can be used to make acid adjustments
in Rieslings, Gewurztraminer, and Muscat varieties,
though many winemakers still prefer to use Tartaric
Acid in these situations. You would not want to add
Malic acid to any wine that will undergo a Malolactic
Fermentation. As a note: only half of the artificially added
malic acid will convert to lactic acid during a Malolactic
Fermentation.

Campden Tablets
Potassium Metabisulfite in an easy-to-measure tablet.
Adds 75 ppm of sulphites at the rate of one tablet per
gallon. These must be fully ground-up prior to use.
MetaBi in powder form, AD495 or AD500, is much easier
to actually use, but you must have a scale.
AD505 (25 Tablets)...................................................$1.50
Efferbacktol Packets
Pre-measured sulphite in a quick dissolving format
A convenient way to add sulphites is to use pre-measured
Efferbaktol packets. The granules are effervescent, much
like an Alka-Selzer™, which helps them to dissolve. The
granular composition is varied, allowing the product to
dissolve at multiple levels in the tank or barrel. The 2
gram size will add 9 ppm sulphites to a 60 gallon barrel
or 18 ppm sulphites to a 30 gallon barrel. The 5 gram
size will add 22 ppm to a 60 gallon barrel. The 10 gram
size is typically used at the crush where it is added to
larger fermenters. The 10 gram size will add 2642 ppm
per gallon. Divide this by your tank size to figure out
how much to add. If you fill a macro-bin 3/4 full (135
gallons) a 10 gram packet will add 19.5 ppm. If used in
macro bins or larger stainless tanks it is still necessary to
stir the wine post addition.

Giving your yeast the nutrients they desire is inexpensive
and easy-to-do. When yeast are in good health they have
fewer problems and produce wines with consistenly
better flavor profiles. When yeast are under-fed, their
metabolisim is stressed and they can produce off-flavors
like sulphur and volatile acidity.
Go-Ferm
Ensures healthy yeast and reduces Fermentation issues
Go-Ferm is a natural yeast nutrient that is added to
yeast hydration water before adding your selected yeast
strain. Its complex formula provides your yeast with the
proper micronutrients to feed your yeast and allow them
to create healthy cells. The great thing about Go-Ferm is
that the proper nutrients and vitamins are introduced
BEFORE the yeast is added to the must. This way the
nutrients are in a higher concentration and can be more
easily absorbed by the cells. Go-Ferm is particularly
effective for helping the yeast survive in high alcohol
situations.
The rate of useage of Go-Ferm is 1.25 grams per
1 gram of yeast, which should then be mixed with 17
mls of H2O per one gallon of must. Does not contain
any DAP, as DAP could be harmful to the yeast during
the rehydration process. GO-Ferm is usually used in
conjunction with Fermaid K, where Fermaid K is added
after 1/3 sugar depletion.

AD342D (6250g)...........................................................$24.95
Fermaid K
Added to the ferment after 1/3 sugar depletion
A complex formula that provides DAP, free amino
acids, yeast hulls, unsaturared fatty acids, sterols, and
micronutrients such as magnesium sulfate, thiamin, folic
acid, biotin, calcium pantothenate, and other vitamins
and minerals. Yeast use Nitrogen for protein synthesis
and to maintain cellular growth. Nitrogen from the alpha
amino acids contained in Fermaid K is utilized much
more efficiently than from the ammonia salts.
The unsaturated fatty acids and sterols available in
Fermaid K are important survival factors needed to
maintain alcohol resistance. They also help keep volatile
acidity levels low.
The cell wall fractions, available through the included
yeast hulls, absorb medium chain fatty acids that are toxic
to the yeast. They also provide nucleation sites to help
keep the yeast in suspension.
Fermaid K is normally used in conjunction with GOFerm and added to the fermenting wine after 1/3 sugar
depletion. Our Winemaking consultant Shea Comfort
uses the analogy of a marathon to describe when to
use nutriens. GO-Ferm is the snack before the race and
Fermaid K is the mid-race power bar that gets your yeast
through a healthy, problem-free ferment, and is used by
hundreds of commercial wineries.
You do not need to add any additional fertilizers or
DAP when adding Fermaid K. Use approximately 1 gram
per gallon. Rehydrate in distilled water.

Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)
A source of nitrogen for yeast that is most commonly
used with your must has low levels of YANC (Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen Content). Low levels of YANC have
been associated with the unwanted prodcution of sulfides.
Use 1/2–3/4 grams per gallon (1/2 tsp per 5 gallons) of
must to aid yeast and help reduce later problems with
hydrogen sulfide.

Additives/Enological Tannins
Natural Additives
Enological Tannins
Enological tannins offer the winemaker the possibility
to add refined, highly-bindable tannin to your wine at any
stage during the process. Benefits can include increased
structure and mouthfeel, color stabilization, stability,
anti-oxidative qualities, and overall complexity. Tannins can reduce vegetal/herbaceous characteristics and
perceived astringency.
We offer four types of tannins, one for use during
fermentation, one for use prior to ageing and two for
use in finished wine.
Opti-Red
Tannin Galalcool was specifically developed for
addition to white wines because it is colorless. It is an
anti-oxidant and helps protect against oxidation and
browning. From a sensory view it contributes to a soft,
full mouthfeel and will impart a very slight perception
of sweetness without contributing any sugars. Use 2 to 5
grams per gallon. We sell it sized for 6 gallon carboys and
60 gallon barrels at a rate of 2 grams per gallon.
TAN150 (12g).................................................................$1.50
TAN150B (120g).............................................................$9.95
An inactive yeast product which improves body, color
stability, and mouthfeel in red wines. Using Opti-Red
in the must makes polysaccharides available to complex
with polyphenols as soon as they are released. This early
complexing results in red wines with more intense color,
rounder mouthfeel and better tannin integration. Use
in conjunction with Lallzyme EX for best results. We
think the affect is very similar to using D254 yeast which
has a high degree of polysaccharide-tannin complexing.
Use at the rate of 1 gram per gallon of red wine. Dilute
Opti-Red in 4 times it weight of water or must and add
at beginning of fermentation.
AD355 (8g)..................................................................... $1.95
AD355B (80g).................................................................$6.95
Specialty tannin for white wines for addition during ageing
Tannin VR Supra
Add during the initial stages of fermentation
Tannin VR Supra is composed of both grape and wood
tannins specifically formulated for use during red wine
fermentation. These highly reactive tannins bind with
anthocyanins in the first 3-4 days of fermentation. If
sufficient natural tannins are not present in must, anthocyanins may precipitate, resulting in a loss of color. Using
an enzyme like Lallyzyme EX in conjunction with Tannin
VR Supra can enhance this binding of color. However,
we do recommend adding the tannins 6-8 hours after the
addition of the enzymes. The continual bonding going on
throughout the ferment will also improve the mid palate
structure and help significantly reduce or eliminate vegetal/herbaceous characters. Tannin additions at this early
stage prove to be most efficient and are better integrated
into the wine. Use at an initial rate of 1.3 gram per gallon
during puch down/pump over. If you want additional
tannin add at the later rate of .25 grams per gallon. We
sell it in sizes ideal for dosing 8 lbs and 80 lbs.

Miscellaneous
Yeast Hulls
Tan'Cor
Added prior to ageing - increases structure and stability
Opti-White
Sorbistat K
Does your red wine need greater structure? Try “body
building” with Booster Rouge. Booster Rouge is an
natural yeast based nutrient from the ICV yeast range.
It offers greater perception of intense volume in the
initial mouthfeel due to the perceived tannic intensity
in red wine. Booster Rouge interacts between aromatic
precursors and yeast macromolecules to help give an
impression of enhanced fruit and freshness. It can also
help reduce the perception of chemical, ethereal and
burning or drying sensations. Booster Rouge aids in
color stabilization and helps with the overall balance of
the wine. Add to must at the beginning of fermentation.
Booster Rouge shows good synergy with D80 and D21
when used in wines made from well ripended grapes. Use
at the rate or 1gram per gallon.
AD552 (8g)..................................................................... $1.95
AD552A (80g).................................................................$6.95
Lowering Acidity
Calcium Carbonate
Calcium Carbonate will lower acidity and does not require
cold stabilization to precipitate-out acid like Potassium
Carbonate does, but it takes longer, affects flavor, and it
reduces tartaric before dropping out malic or Citric Acids.
2.5 grams per gallon will roughly lower acidity by .1%.
WM20 (50g).................................................................... $1.25
Tannin Plus
Added during ageing to enhance structure & complexity
Tanin Plus is a preparation of American oak tannins
that has been lightly toasted to impart a slightly softer,
more aromatic character. It also enhances the structure
and organoleptic complexity of wine. Tanin Plus still
maintains the regular properties associated with the use
of tannins such as helping with clarification, stability,
oxidation, and aging. It will impart a slight vanillin oak
character an smooth finish.
Dissolve the tannin in 10 times its weight in warm
water (35°C/95°F) and then add to the wine during a
punch-down or pump-over for good mixing. Addition
of Tanin Plus should be made a minimum of three weeks
before bottling. Use .3 to .75 grams per gallon for red
wines and .15 to .35 grams per gallon for white wines. We
sell it at a 1.8g addition for 6 gallon carboys and a 18g size
for barrels. Both sizes are a .3g per gallon adidtion.
TAN140 (1.8g)................................................................$1.50
TAN140B (18g)...............................................................$9.95
For rounded, smooth tannin high-end red wines
Yeast hulls are usually the first action when you have a
stuck or sluggish alcoholic or malolactic ferment. Yeast
Hulls are essentially dead cell walls that absorb auto toxic
yeast by-products that could be inhibiting fermentation.
Yeast Hulls are then typically be followed by Pro-Restart
in the case of a stuck alcoholic fermentation or Acti Ml
in the case of a stuck ML ferment.
As a side note, Yeast Hulls are included in the Fermaid
K mix of nutrients to help prevent problem ferments from
the onset. The reason you would not use Fermaid K for a
stuck ferment is that Fermaid K contains DAP. If DAP is
added to the ferment past the point of metabolization by
the yeast, it could potentially leave an unwanted, residual
flavor. Use at the rate of .5 - .9 grams per gallon.
AD346 (50g)...................................................................$2.95
Sorbistat K, Potassium Sorbate, ensures against renewed
fermentation in wine when residual sugar is added post
the initial ferment. Add at the rate of .5 to .75 grams per
gallon (125-200ppm) in conjunction with .3 grams of
meta-bisulphite (50ppm) per gallon. Use the higher end
of the range (200 ppm) as the wine’s pH approaches or
exceeds 3.5 or when the alcohol conent of the wine is
below 10%. Potassium Sorbate should not be used if the
wine underwent an ML fermentation because Sorbic Acid
(in the Potassium Sorbate) can react with lactic bacteria
to produce a “geranium” smelling off-flavor.
Note: Sorbistat K will not stop an active fermentation.
AD520 (30g)...................................................................$1.95
This is a tannin that is added post fermentation to
improve the overall structure and to help protect the
wine from oxidation during aging. It is composed of
proanthocyanidins and ellagic tannins that integrate
easily into young wines. It was specially developed to add
structure and a soft mid palate to premium red wines
without harshness or a forward oak finish. It can also
enhance the varietal fruit character while adding complexity to the finish. Helps stabilize wines by improving
the polyphenolic composition. It is especially useful when
aging wines in older tannin-leached barrels and with full,
fruity lower tannin varietals like Syrah and Zinfandel. Use
at the rate of .3 to 1 grams per gallon prior to aging. We
sell it a dosage rate of .5g per gallon for 6 gallon carboys
and 60 gallon barrels.
TAN130 (3g).....................................................................$.95
TAN130B (30g)...............................................................$2.95
Tannin Galalcool
Potassium Carbonate
Used to lower acidity levels. 3.8 grams per gallon will
reduce acidity by about .1%. Requires that the fermenter
be stored cold for several weeks, during which the tartaric
acid drops out as Potassium Bitartrate. The preferred
method of dropping acid and rasing pH. Doing a trial run
with a small amount is strongly suggested to determine
exactly what the drop in acidity will be.
AD640 (2 oz)...................................................................$2.25
AD640LB (1 lb)...............................................................$5.95
SM
For color stabilization and body in white wines
A natural yeast product for white wines to increase
mouthfeel, avoid browning, increases the wines protein
stability and volatile thiols, and protects fresh aromas
during aging. Opti-White is rich in polysaccharides and
has high anti-oxidative properties. Add Opti-White to the
juice at the onset of fermentation. Use at the rate of 1.9
grams per gallon. Dilute Opti-White in 4 times it weight
of water or must and add at beginning of fermentation.

Booster Rouge
For higher tannin intensity/fresh fruitiness in red wines
BioLees
To simulate sur lie aging
Aging your wine on the lees (sur lie) in red and white
wines is known to reduce the perception of acidity,
eliminate specific harsh phenolics, increase the perception
of sweetness, help protect against oxidation and imporove
mouthfeel. The specific peptide released from wine yeast
during this process that is responsible for these positive effects has recently been isolated by Le Faculte d’Oenologie
de Bordeaux and extracted by Laffort .
The results of their work produced BioLees, a product
that can be added to wine as early as late fermentation.
This naturally occurring peptide product will contribute
the positive sensory impact of Sur Lie aging while drastically reducing time and labor. Contact with Biolees for
three to five weeks contributes similar flavor and mouth
feel components as does six months of lees ageing and
stirring. Recommended Dosage rate is 30-70 ppm (1.1
to 2.6 grams per gallon)

Assmanhaussen
Great for adding spice to Pinot/Zin while retaining color
A specialized yeast for Pinot Noir or Zinfandel. The
slow-but-steady fermentation rate and cooler preferred
temperatures of this yeast strain allow for great color
extraction. It enhances spicy (clove, nutmeg) and fruity
flavors and aromas. AMH has a long lag phase, a slow to
medium fermentation rate and benefits greatly from the
use of GO-FERM and Fermaid K. It also produces low
concentrations of the enzyme associated with color loss
in red wine ferments. This strain ideally ferments cool
at 59–68 degrees Fahrenheit. Considered the choice for
Pinot Noir (it has been our favorite) but an interesting
option for Zinfandel where it can add depth and spiciness.

ICV-D254
Fast fermenter known for mouthfeel and ripe fruit
Rhone isolate for red wine and chardonnays. Vigorous fermenter with a short lag time, this yeast creates
enhanced mouthfeel and color stability due to polysaccharide-tannin complexing. When the fermentation is
aerated and the temp is below 85F, and when used with
Go-Ferm (AD342) and Fermaid K (AD345), ICVD254
has an alcohol tolerance of up to 16%. If you are using this yeast for a Chardonay, Go-Ferm is especially
recommended as a rehydration nutrient. This yeast can
ferment hot at times. Benefits include a high fore-mouth
volume, big mid-palate mouthfeel, and intense ripe
fruit/jam concentration. It will aslo give you a nice
fruit character, noticably prune, blackberry, spicy black
pepper and licorice in red wines. In Chardonay, low
notes of pear and pineapple, and higher notes of smoke,
hazelut, and almond character. Some winemakers blend
this yeast with CY3079 (DYW64) to create a wine with
nutty aromas and a creamy mouthfeel. Red wines made

Fresh fruit flavors in most all red wines
Dominique Delteil selected ICV-D21 for fermenting red
wines with stable color, intense fore-mouth and mid-palate tannin structure, and fresher aftertaste. Unlike most
wine yeasts, ICV-D21 contributes polysaccharides and
retains higher acidity. These attributes inhibit development of cooked jam and burning-alcohol sensations in
highly mature and concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon,
Merlot and Syrah. During fermentation, ICV-D21 produces very few sulfur compounds. It allows the expression
of fruit from the grapes while reducing the potential for
herbaceous characters in Cabernet Sauvignon. When
blended with wines fermented with ICV-D254 and ICVD80, wines fermented with ICV-D21 bring fresher, deep
fruit and continuous intense sensations beginning in the
fore-mouth and carrying through to the aftertaste. We
used this yeast fermenting Cabernet and loved the fresh
fruit flavors. Alcohol tolerance to 16%. Fermentation

ProRestart and Pro-Dessert contain yeast cells
encapsulated within Alginate (natural polysaccharide
extracted from seaweed) that are also acclimatized to
alcohol and other harsh conditions. Unlike regular dry
yeast, our encapsulated yeast are pre-conditioned to harsh
conditions such as high sugars or high alcohol. They
are a great choice for finishing stuck fermentations or
fermenting dessert wines.
During use the beads are placed in a nylon bag and
suspended in the ferment. The yeast stay trapped within
the alginate beads. When they have completed their task,
the bags are removed from the wine with no residual
yeast cells being left behind. Sanitizable weights, such as
stainless fittings or marbles, are placed in the bag to keep
the bag submersed throughout the fermenation process.
83 Grams will treat 100L or 30 gallons of stuck wine.
VL3
Premier strain for Sauvignon Blanc
This strain was selected following research identifying the
molecules responsible for Sauvignon Blanc aroma. VL3
was found to enhance Sauvignon Blanc varietal characters
and aromas (Mercaptopentanone, Mercapthohexanol,
etc.) Subsequent experimentation has found this to be
true of other varieties such as Riesling and Pinot Gris as
well. VL3 is well suited to aging on the lees and produces
very low levels of VA and SO2. A premier yeast for Sauvignon Blanc fermentation worldwide.

BA11
White Wine – great mouthfeel/Orange blossom Flavors
BA11 promotes clean aromatic characteristics and
intensifies mouthfeel and lingering flavors in white wines.
In relatively neutral white varieties, BA11 encourages
the fresh fruit aromas of orange blossom, pineapple
and apricot. Optimum temp. range at 15 C to 25 C, and
alcohol tolerant to 15%

Pro-Restart
Works quickly due to preconditioning and direct addition
into a stuck or sluggish fermentation. This is much, much
easier than traditional restart methods. Decreases spoilage
risks due to its rapid fermentative activity and helps avoid
excessive SO2 additions. Decreases risks related to color
loss and oxidation. Preserves the flavor of the wine due to
rapid sugar consumption without volatile acidity increase
or other spoilage problems. Use 83g per 30 gallons. Can
be transferred to next barrel after first barrel is finished.
Comes with nylon mesh bag and full set of instructions.
DYW98 (83 grams).......................................................$18.95
W15
Pro-Dessert
Whites, Pinot, Icewine, Fruit Wines
Double encapsulated yeast for fermenting wines destined
to have residual sugar. The idea is to add the bag of ProDessert beads into the must and ferment down to your
desired residual sugar level. When the bag is removed
the ferment stops and there are no residual yeast left
behind. This eliminates having to try and stop the ferment
through sterile filtering or chilling and using excessive
amounts of SO2, Sorbistat K and bentonite. Requires
normal balanced nutrition additions for optimizing
fermentation. Use 83 grams per 30 gallons.
DYW99 (83 grams)......................................................$23.95
W15 was developed to ferment dry whites at moderate
speeds where bright fruit and heavy mouthfeel are desired.
W15 is also used to ferment light red varieties. It has also
been used in Pinot Noir and cool climate Syrah. Short
lag phase, moderate rate fermenter. W15 produces higher
levels of glycerol and succinic acid especially at higher
fermentation temperatures (25°C). Alcohol tolerant to
16% (v/v). Fermentation range of 10-27˚C/50-81˚F.

R-HST
For Aromatic Whites - Especially Riesling
For aromatic whites R-HST was selected for its exceptional oenological properties in Riesling trials. R-HST
has a short lag phase and generation time, even at cold
temperatures. These features allow it to dominate and
persist over spoilage yeast such as Kloeckera apiculata,
where other S. cerevisiae might have difficulty. A relatively
neutral strain, R-HST retains fresh varietal character
while contributing body and mouthfeel. R-HST also
produces crisp, premium white wines intended for
aging. Alcohol tolerance to 16%. Fermentation range of
10-30˚C/50-86˚F.

Malolactic Bacteria & Lysozyme
Malolactic Bacteria
Malolactic fermentation is performed by a special
bacteria that converts malic acid into lactic acid, CO2
and water. Not only is there a reduction in acidity because
Lactic acid is only half as acidic as Malic acid, but there
is also a significant impact on flavor. Different strains of
malolactic bacteria each produce their own flavors, which
we have attempted to describe.
Malolactic fermentations are used in most red wines
provided that there is enough (naturally or through
addition) acid to support a reduction. Red wines made
without the malolactic fermentation will have a brightness, sometimes sharpness, from the presence of the
malic acid. Since most commercial red wines have been
through malolactic fermentation, a flavor profile with
a bright, sharp malic acid presence may seem odd or
inappropriate.
In white wines like Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs,
malolactic fermentations are sometimes performed and
sometimes not. Certain strains have been known to
produce butter flavors, however several strains do not. In
fruit forward white wines like Rieslings, Gewurstraminers
and Muscats it is not usual to inoculate with malolactic.
We the exception of the traditional Viniflora strain, we
generally recommend adding your Malolactic Bacteria
after your primary fermentation is finished. ML added
during the ferment will compete with the yeast for nutrients and are atagonistic to yeast, sometimes causing
problems resulting in stuck or stalled fermentations.
However, many wineries and customers do add the ML
during the ferment with good luck.
NOTE: You cannot store Malolactic bacteria once the
package has been opened.
Viniflora
Traditional oenococcus oeni strain manufactured by
Christian Hansen laboratories. This culture is added 2–3
days into the initial ferment while the alcohol levels are
lower. Good for upto 66 gallons. DYWM.................$14.95
Enoferm Alpha
Alpha is characterized by its ability to respect the wines
varietal aromas and flavors while lifting mouthfeel.
Enoferm Alpha was selected because it has the potential
to ferment at lower temperatures and at lower pH levels.
In addition to good performance in harsh conditions,
Enoferm Alpha was preferred in blind tastings for its
clean and fruity aromas, a decrease of vegetative and
herbaceous notes and increased mouth-feel. It works well
in low pH (down to 3.2), low temperature conditions
(down to 12°C or 54°F) or high levels of total SO2. It is
a fast starter. Good for upto 66 gallons.
DYWM1 ....................................................................... $17.95
Enoferm Beta
Beta was isolated in Italy and is best used to enhance
structure, red berry varietal character, and spicy characteristics in reds. It derives the Beta name from the
capacity to encourage higher levels of beta-damascenone
and beta-ionone that contribute floral notes, especially
in Merlot as shown in trials conducted near Bordeaux.
It was selected due to it’s good performance under
difficult wine conditions, positive sensory contribution,
and security from its low use of sugars and very low
volatile acid as well as biogenic amines production. In
winery trials, Enoferm Beta was able to induce MLF at
temperatures as low as 55°F. It is a low diacetyl (buttery
flavor) producer. It is a good choice to enhance structure
and body, while reducing astringency and bitterness.
The strain is pH tolerant to 3.2, temperature tolerant to
12°C (54°F) and alcohol tolerant to 14% (v/v). Good
for upto 66 gallons.

Lysozyme
MBR VP31
VP31 performs as well as Alpha under stressful conditions
such as low pH or low temperatures. It has a slower start
than Alpha but catches up and finishes quickly. VP31 is
noted for its good sensory balance in reds and whites.
It was chosen by the ITV in France for use in white and red
wines for high activity and positive flavor characteristics.
In white wines it is known for acid reduction, light buttery
flavor, respect for fruit, increased body and length of
finish. In red wines it is known for increasing berry fruit
flavors and mouthfeel. VP31 is a good strain for use at
temperatures as low as 15°C(59°F). It is the strain that is
the most tolerant of low pH. Good for upto 66 gallons.
DYWM5 (2.5g).............................................................. $21.95
MBR VP41
VP41 was isolated in the Abruzzi region of Italy during
an extensive European Union collaboration for use in red
and white wines. VP41 was chosen for its steady fermentation, high alcohol tolerance (up to 15% v/v), enhanced
mouthfeel and wine structure. This strain will ferment
well with a pH above 3.2 and total SO2 levels up to 50-60
ppm. In red wines, increased spicy, cherry and red fruit
flavors have been noted. Perhaps the two most significant
factors to note about this strain is its ability to work in
a higher SO2 environment and the contribrution VP41
will make to mouthfeel. Red and white wines fermented
with MBR 41 have increased richness and complexity.
Good for upto 66 gallons.
DYWM3 (2.5g).............................................................. $21.95
Use Lysozyme for controlling lactic acid bacteria growth
in your wine. Isolated from egg whites, this enzyme will
degrade the cell wall of gram positive bacteria, but will not
affect yeast or gram negative bacteria such as Acetobacter.
Lysozyme can be used for both Red and White Wine
Malo Fermentation.
Applications and Dosages:
To Eliminate Indigenous Malolactic Bacteria and delay
the onset of ML until you pitch a cultured ML strain:
Red Wine - add to must at 100 - 200 ppm, or 0.38 - 0.76
grams per gallon. White Wine - Add to must at 200 - 300
ppm, or 0.76 - 1.14 grams per gallon.
To Block Malolactic Fermentation: White Wine - Add
to must or wine at 300 - 500 ppm, or 1.14 - 1.90 grams
per gallon.
When blending partial and complete MLF wines: Add
immeditatley after blending at 300 - 500 ppm, or 1.14
- 1.90 grams per gallon, to reduce the risk of further
malolactic fermentation (MLF). Within several days any
lactic should expire.
For sluggish or stuck fermentation: Red Wine - Add at
150 - 400 ppm, or 0.57 - 1.52 grams per gallon. White
Wine - add at 300 - 500 ppm, or 1.14 - 1.90 grams per
gallon.
Stabilizing wine after MLF is complete: Add to barrel
during storage at 250 - 500 ppm, or 0.95 - 1.90 grams
per gallon.
Directions for use:
Baccus
Finally, a ML strain for people innoculating 5 gallons at
a time! Bacchus is the culture of choice for many professional winemakers in red and white wines,where a positive
contribution of complexity, mouthfeel and structure are
desired while also respecting the varietal character. Bacchus provides a large population of malolactic bacteria
These malolactic cultures are an ideal tool to complete
rapid MLF even when the wine pH is as low as 3.1, alcohol
to 13.5% and the total SO2 is less than 20 ppm. For best
results in volumes up to 23 L, add Bacchus immediately
after the alcoholic fermentation is complete and the wine
temperature is 18°-24°C (64°-75°F).
DYWM4 (1g)................................................................... $9.95
Make a 10% solution of Lysozyme in water (100 grams per
liter of water). Add directly to must, juice or wine and mix
well. Allow 24 - 48 hours for reaction to complete.
AD352 (50g).................................................................$17.00
ACTI-ML
ACTI-ML is a nutrient supplement for malolactic
cultures under harsh or low nutrient conditions.
It is also used to help restart stuck ML fermentations. When used as directed it will not impart any
aroma or flavor. Cellulose was chosen as one of the
ingredients for this product since it is slow to settle
and will aid in keeping the bacteria in suspension.
Please note that ACTI- ML is not necessary for
most ML fermentations. Use approximately 1
gram per gallon.

Finings & Clarifiers
Finings/Clarifiers
CombiGel
The Fining Agents (Clarifiers) that we sell are usually
added to juice or wine to help clarify or to remove phenolic compounds associated with bitterness, astringency
or browning. However, fining is non-selective so at the
same time you are removing the compounds you wish to
remove you are also removing other desireable phenolic
compounds that are contributing to flavor, mouthfeel,
aroma and color. Thus the lowest level concentration
that will do the job is always the most desired.
The scientific approach to fining is to make a stock
solution and then run bench trials to choose the lowest
level fining that will perform your objective. For the
serious winemaker seeking the very best product, we
strongly recommend the book Techniques for Chemical
Analysis and Quality Monitoring during Winemaking for
its in-depth, plain english explanations of the wide range
of chemical reactions and procedures encountered
during winemaking.
CombiGel is a gelatin-caseinate-isinglass derivative
in liquid form that is used to ensure clarification and
good-filterability of young wines. It can be directly
added to the wine and will remain effective even at low
temperatures.
Dosage: As all wines are different, the optimal dosage
can only be determined by a bench-trial. However, in
wines that are pre-settled, 25-30mL per 100 L of wine
is usually correct, or 1.2 ml per gallon. In wines with
a higher degree of turbidity, the dosage is augmented
to 50-150mL per 100 L, or 1.92ml - 5.67ml per gallon
(depending on just how cloudy the wine is). Shake or stir
the CombiGel before use to ensure product homogeneity
and add it to the wine while stirring to thoroughly mix
the two together. Rack off of the sediment in 3 weeks
(a rough filtration of 5-10 microns is recommended).
Storage: Keep absolutely frost-protected. Reseal opened
containers tightly. Shake or stir before use.
AD652 (1oz/25ml)............................................................$6.95
Bentonite (2oz)
Treatments For Removing
Hydrogen Sulfide
Bentonite is a negative charged, clay-like mineral, that
removes positively charged proteins. Bentonite is more
effective at a lower pH because the positive charge on
proteins is stonger at lower pH levels. It also works best
when the wine is at warmer temperature, but still can
be used less effectively at cellar temperatures.
Generic low level fining for five gallons: blend 1/2 tsp
(approx 3g) with 1/2 cup of hot water ( approximately
140F) in a blender for 1-2 minutes. Let stand for at least
60 minutes, mix, and stir into wine. Let stand for 10-14
days and then rack off. This is fining at .16g/L
For a generic mid-level addition: Follow above directions but use 9 grams of Bentonite with 3/4 cup of water.
This is fining at .5g/L.
A more scientific method is to make a stock solution of
5% Bentonite and then run bench trials to see the lowest
level that solution that will clear the wine sufficiently.To
make a 5% solution add 50 grams of Bentonite to 850ml
of hot water. You will need to set up a trial with clear jars
of the same volume. Add different amounts of solution
to achieve addition rates between .3g/l and 2.0g/l. You
will have to do some math! Let the trials clear overnight.
FIN60 (2oz).................................................................$2.00
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a compound that smells
like rotten eggs. It is always present in small amounts,
below your flavor detection, as a natural by-product of
yeast metabolism. Excessive levels (very stinky!) can
be contributed from many factors including low FAN
(Free Assimilable Nitrogen), the presence of sulphur
left over from the vineyard, and high levels of suspended
solids. If left unfixed the H2S can develop into Monomercaptans or Poly-mercaptans, which are more difficult
to remove.
If only H2S is present during the ferment it can
normally be fixed with the addition of DAP. Our standard
recommendation of Fermaid K, at 1/3 sugar depletion,
contains DAP and will help eliminate potential H2S
problems. After fermentation H2S can be dealt with by
the addition of Bocksin or Copper Sulphate.
Historically a common solution for H2S is to add
50ppm of sulphite and perform an aerative racking.The
tricky part is that you can't tell H2S and mono-mercaptans
apart by smell or taste and aeration will convert monomercaptans into poly-mercaptans. Poly-mercaptans are
very difficult to remove from the wine.
Tristan Johnson of MoreWine! has written a test
procedure to help determine exactly what form of H2S is
in your wine via bench trials with copper sulfate.
Gelatin (Powdered)
A soluble clarifier that removes haze causing compounds and reduces phenolic compounds associated
with bitterness, astringency and browning. Gelatin is
considered one of the most aggressive finings and can
result in overfinging and color loss. To use, dissolve
desired amount in distilled water and gently stir in to
the wine. Allow a few days for settling and then rack
off the lees.
FIN35 (2oz)..................................................................$2.50
Bocksin
Bocksin is a specially prepared solution of silicate minerals
used in the treatment of wines affected by Hydrogen
Sulphide odours (rotten egg). Upon treatment, Bocksin
reacts with the sulphur compounds in a specific, synergistic manner and the undesirable, smelly compounds are
precipitated out. Bocksin contains no copper sulphate.
Dosage: 30mL per 23 L (5 gallons) is a good starting
rate, although this can be augmented if needed. There
is no danger of over fining. Add directly to the wine (or
must at the end of primary fermentation) to be treated,
mixing briefly several times a day over the treatment
period. Within 24 hours the Bocksin will be 80% effective, with the full 100% taking around 1 week to come
to completion.
Note: H2S and mono-mercaptans have a tendency to
"reduce" or close down a wine's flavors. If after the using
Bocksin, the reduction of the treated wine is low, no other
treatment will be needed. Just rack the wine off of the
sediment at the end of the treatment period. However,
if the level of reduction from the original Hydrogen
Sulphide problem is such that it has closed down the wine
a great deal, then it may be necessary to use “CombiGel”
in order to unmask the original “freshness” of the wine.
Polyclar VT (PVPP)
A non-soluble clarifier that removes phenolic compounds, especially those associated with the browning
and astringency of white wine. Mix with a minimal
amount of warm, distilled water and gently stir into
your wine. Let stand for a few days and rack off.
FIN35 (1oz)..................................................................$2.50
Sparkolloid
A Poly-Saccharide mixed with Diatomaceous Earth. Use
1 tsp per gallon. Boil Sparkalloid with 1 cup of water for
15 minutes and add to fermenter. Wait at least a month
before racking. FIN50 (1oz) .....................................$1.95
Casei Plus
A concentrated, powdered form of Potassium Caseinate
produced from milk. Helps eliminate oxidized phenolic
compounds in white wines, rose wines, fruit wines, and
meads. FIN70 (1oz)...................................................$1.95
•
1-800-823-0010
•
In this case, it should be noted that if CombiGel is used,
then you will indeed need to filter the wine to remove the
treatment. Storage: Bocksin should be stored in a cool,
frost-protected place. Tightly re-seal opened packages
immediately.
AD650 (1oz)....................................................................$4.95
Copper Sulphate (1%)
Some homewinemakers will treat wine affected with
H2S by stirring with a copper rod or racking through
a copper "scrubby". Copper converts the the hydrogen
sulfide into copper sulfide, which is not soluble in wine.
After a few days the wine is racked off the copper sulfide
which by that time has precipitated down to the bottom
of your vessel. However, putting wine in direct contact
with a non-measured amount of copper can result in
residual copper being left in your wine, especially in low
pH environments.
A more professional approach to the reduciton of
Hydrogen Sulfide is to use a measured amount of copper sulfate in a 1% solution. Normally a trial is set up
to determine the least amount needed to eliminate the
problem. Because the amounts used are very small, it will
be necessary to use a pipette.
Add the correct amount of copper sulphate in small
.1 ppm doses. Wait several days for the copper sulfide to
settle out and then rack off the lees. Do not add copper
sulphate during an active fermentation as that may actually cause more hydrogen sulfide to form.

hand and can special order larger items from our Concord
location as needed. Karl Wichmann is the store manager. He
organizes our annual Spring pre-order sale of equipment
for local Southern California customers. Karl also co-hosts
winemaking classes with winemaker Tod Boorman of Boorman Vineyards. Please visit Karl for all your winemaking
needs.
The Concord store consists of our Northern California showroom,
our mail order distribution, and our metal fabrication shop. Our
customer service team can help you with orders and product inquiries. Tristan Johnson works our small wine lab where we offer a series
of tests (see page 31). He also instructs our winemaking classes and is
