Malic Acid
Due to high demand, the 55 lb is currently out of stock. Be the first to receive your items by placing a pre-order today. We will automatically ship this to you when we receive more inventory. 3.4g per gallon adjusts acidity by +.1%. It will lower pH less than will tartaric acid. Malic acid is the acid found in apples and is therefore the best choice for adjusting ciders. Malic is less sour than tartaric acid and can also 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. A rough approximate of weight is 1 tsp = 2.7 grams. We highly recommend using a scale to weigh the product for an accurate dose. We do not recommend relying on these rough conversions for accurate dosage rates.

OCI French Oak Cubes | Medium Toast
Oak cubes approximately 1 cm square, made from seasoned French Oak and produced in the USA. Oak cubes take longer to impart their character to the wine than chips, but the flavor can be superior due to the higher volume of unexposed wood in the cube. Medium toast is our most popular level and provides good oak flavor and character. Recommended usage is 2 oz to 4 oz per 5 gallons of wine.

Wine Cap Punch Down Tool (Small)
Wine Cap Puncher - This is an ideal puncher for smaller volume winemaking. Perfect for 20 gallon fermenters. Our design features a sealed connection where juice cannot travel back up into the handle. We have seen similar models but always passed on selling them because the design had an opening where the 4 metal wires went back into the hollow handle. When juice inevitably did get back up into that space, the punch was done, you could never clean it. Height is 24". Base is 5 3/16" diameter

R-2 Dry Wine Yeast
R2 was isolated in the Sauternes region of Bordeaux by Brian Croser of South Australia. In addition to enhancing esters and mouthfeel, it has excellent cold temperature properties and will ferment as low as 50 degrees F, making it ideal for Icewine production. However, if it does not get proper nutrients it can tend to produce VA and H2S. For this reason, hydration with GO-FERM and the addition of Fermaid K is definitely recommended to optimize its' potential. R2 helps produce intense, direct fruit style whites by liberation of fruity and floral fermentative aromas. R2 also helps to enhance the varietal chacter by an enzymatic release of bound aroma precursors. It is recommended for aromatic white varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, Vidal, and Seyval. It is classified as a Saccharomyces cerevisiae bayanus. Best results from 50 to 86 degrees F, with an alcohol tolerance to 16%. Download the PDF Download the PDF

Filter Sheets - 20 cm x 20 cm (0.45 Micron)
20cm x 20cm filter pads made for 20x20 plate filters. Pads rated 0.45 micron remove 99.999% of bacteria. This pad is the right choice when you want to promote sterility in the bottle, although do please note that the pad does not remove 100% of bacteria - only a cartridge filter can do so. The filters can be sterilized by in-line steam, auto-claving, dry heat, hot water or chemical methods. We choose to run Saniclean (CL27) solution through the pads followed by sterile water or a small amount of wine that is then discarded. After the solution is run through the pads, and the pads have softened, the filter will need to be re-tightened. Each pad has an entry side and an exit side, distinguishable by their different textures. The entry side is a billowy type texture, frequently called the "rough" side; and the exit side has a crosshatch pattern and is commonly called the "smooth" side. For more information on how to load filter sheets into your plate and frame filter, see our Guide to Plate Filtering.

Bottle Filler - Buon Vino Super Auto
The Buon Vino Super filler for winemaking is a gravity fed bottle filler that shuts off automatically when the proper fill height is reached in each bottle. Very easy to use and perfect for small quantities. A great choice when you want something more sophisticated than the tube style bottle fillers, but don't need to upgrade to a more expensive electric wine bottle filler. Usage: To use the filler, place the device on top of the bottle to be filled, insert the intake tube into your vessel containing the liquid, and the small overflow tube into an empty bottle. To begin the siphon, start by pressing down on the center plunger on the flow regulator to open the valve. Suck on the end of the overflow tube until the liquid begins to flow into the bottle. When liquid is flowing into the bottle, put the overflow tube back into the empty bottle. When the liquid reaches the top of the bottle, the valve will shut the flow off automatically. After the first bottle, check the level of the fill and adjust the level up or down if necessary by moving the rubber bottle seal up or down. Please note that the fill level can be affected by excessive foaming. After one bottle is filled, move the bottle filler to another empty bottle, push down on the plunger lever, and repeat. Comes with 6 ft. of tubing.

Sulfur Sticks
Sulfur Sticks are used by some winemakers to treat oak barrels. A portion of the stick is suspended in the barrel and burned before the barrel is put away for storage. In general, we recommend 1/3 to 1/2 of a stick, per 60 gallon barrel. As all sulfur sticks may not be created equal, this equates to 1" by 2" - 3" per 60 gallon barrel. Options: Single Stick 10-pack 50 lb Bulk Box (apprx. 950-1000 sticks)

Yeast Hulls | For Stuck or Sluggish Ferments
Yeast Hulls are ususally the first action when you have a stuck or sluggish alcoholic or malolactic fermentation. Yeast Hulls are essentially dead yeast cells that absorb auto toxic yeast by-products that could be inhibiting your active yeast or ML culture from doing their job - finishing your fermentation! Yeast Hulls are then typically followed by Pro-Desert 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 most stuck ferments is that Fermaid K contains DAP. If DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) 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 to .9 grams per gallon. If stored in a cool, dry place, will last up to 3 years. A rough approximate of weight is 1 tsp = 2 grams. We highly recommend using a scale to weigh the product for an accurate dose. We do not recommend relying on these rough conversions for accurate dosage rates.

Glass Wine Thief - Economy
A unique, functional variation of the traditional glass wine thief. We ordered these from eastern europe where the pricing/quality is great. The design was supposed to look exactly like our traditional thiefs we have made locally in Berkeley, California. Thus we used a picture of the original thief in our latest catalog. But alas, when they arrived they looked unlike any wine thief we have seen. But.... they work fantastic so we are happy and we think you will be too! Upon further testing and working with this thief, it has become clear that it can be tempermental about which carboys it fits in. If you'd like a glass thief for a carboy, we have to recommend the MT345. This still works great for barrels, even stacked ones! 1" in diameter, 10" from the bend to the tip and about 14" total length.

VL3 Dry Wine Yeast
VL3 is a Bordeaux isolate that was selected following in-depth research identifying the molecules responsible for Sauvignon Blanc aroma. VL3 was found to enhance Sauvignon Blanc varietal characters and aromas (Mercaptopentanone, Mercaptohexanol, etc.) Subsequent experimentation has found this to be true of other white varietals such as Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc 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. It is important to note that many of the sought after compounds that are enhanced by VL3 are actually sulfur based, so the use of oxygen and or Cu (copper) will effectively diminish or even remove them from the final wine if used in excess. Therefore, the use of nutrients is strongly recommended to avoid any H2S problems that would require oxygen or Cu to counteract. Best results from 60 to 68 degrees F, with an alcohol tolerance to 14%. Download the PDF Download the PDF

Due to high demand, some of these items are currently out of stock but available for pre-order. Please check status notes below when selecting a size option to see if it is In Stock or tagged as PreBook. We will automatically ship this to you when we receive more inventory. 20cm x 20cm filter pads made for 20x20 plate filters. 2-3 micron pads are for general polishing of wines that do not need to be sterile filtered. Please note that all pad filters are rated 'nominal', meaning that about 90-95% of all particulate matter at the micron rating will be filtered out. There will always be a little bit of smaller material that is also filtered out, as well as some larger material that will make it through. The filters can be sterilized by in-line steam, auto-claving, dry heat, hot water or chemical methods. We choose to run Saniclean (CL27) solution through the pads followed by sterile water or a small amount of wine that is then discarded. After the solution is run through the pads, and the pads have softened, the filter will need to be re-tightened. Each pad has an entry side and an exit side, distinguishable by their different textures. The entry side is a billowy type texture, frequently called the "rough" side; and the exit side has a crosshatch pattern and is commonly called the "smooth" side.

Filter Sheets - 20 cm x 20 cm (1.5 Micron)
20cm x 20cm filter pads made for 20x20 plate filters. 1.5 micron pads are for fine polishing of the wine, or for preparing wines to go through a sterile cartridge filter. Please note that all pad filters are rated 'nominal', meaning that about 90-95% of all particulate matter at the micron rating will be filtered out. There will always be a little bit of smaller material that is also filtered out, as well as some larger material that will make it through. The filters can be sterilized by in-line steam, auto-claving, dry heat, hot water or chemical methods. We choose to run Saniclean (CL27) solution through the pads followed by sterile water or a small amount of wine that is then discarded. After the solution is run through the pads, and the pads have softened, the filter will need to be re-tightened. Each pad has an entry side and an exit side, distinguishable by their different textures. The entry side is a billowy type texture, frequently called the "rough" side; and the exit side has a crosshatch pattern and is commonly called the "smooth" side. For more information on how to load filter sheets into your plate and frame filter, see our Guide to Plate Filtering.

CellarScience® PURPLE Dry Wine Yeast | Premium Wine Yeast
Big mouthfeel from high glycerol /polysaccharide /mannoproteins Flavors of Cherries, Raspberries, Figs, Jam, Red currant High alcohol tolerence Low nutrient needs Perfect for Syrah, Zinfandel, Pinot, Merlot, Malbec, Sangiovese, Grenache Our go-to choice for those reds originating from the Cote du Rhone in France such as Syrah, Grenache, and Mouvedre. Also a top choice for Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Malbec, Merlot, and Pinot. Induces flavors of ripe cherries, raspberries, red curant, figs and jam. Due to its production of glycerol and release of mannoproteins it produces full bodied, rich red wines. PURPLE has a very low production of SO2 which is favorable for an easy malolactic fermentation (MLF) post fermentation. PURPLE is also an easy to ferment yeast with a low nutrient needs which is the opposite of our Big Red strain. It also has a "killer" quality and naturally inhibits unwanted bacterial or wild yeast growth during fermentation. Start Time: Slower Alcohol tolerance: 15% Nitrogen demand: low Production of volatile acidity: Low Production of SO2: Low Ease to Ferment with MLF: Average YAN Requirement @ 23 Brix: 200 ppm Malic Acid Consumption: Low Yeast Type: Cerevisiae Optimal Fermentation Temp: 65–85°F Proper yeast hydration helps ensure a healthy fermentation. For every gram of yeast, mix .25 g of FermStart yeast nutrient with 25 ml of sterilized tap water between 104–106°F/40–41°C. When water reaches 104°F/40°C, sprinkle yeast into water and stir gently. Allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 15 minutes and then stir again. For every gram of yeast used add 25 ml of clean must to the yeast slurry and let stand 15–20 minutes. If necessary, use additional must to adjust yeast slurry to within 18°F of must temp before pitching. For a complete nutrient schedule sufficient for most fermentations, add 1.5 g of FermFed DAP Free per gallon of must at the first sign of fermentation and 1 g of FermFed per gallon of must after 1/3 sugar depletion.

RHST Dry Wine Yeast
R-HST was selected for its exceptional oenological properties in Riesling from trials conducted 1991 to 1996 in the Heiligenstein region of Austria. 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 Saccharomyces cerevisiae might have difficulty. A relatively neutral strain, R-HST retains fresh varietal character while contributing body and mouthfeel. R-HST produces crisp, premium white wines intended for aging. R-HST is best used when the most transparency between a fruit and a finished wine is sought. This can be useful for showcasing quality fruit and terroir differences, as well making sure original fruit characters are retained in a final blend. Best results from 50 to 86 degrees F, with an alcohol tolerance to 15%. Download the PDF Download the PDF

One Step Cleanser
One Step is the only environmentally sound, non-toxic, no-rinse cleanser on the market today for brewers and wineries. Unlike other cleansers that require rinsing because of their alkaline nature or that use materials that can be harmful to the environment, One Step — the original no-rinse cleanser — uses active oxygen to clean your equipment. In addition to being designed to minimize residue and while maximizing detergency, One Step uses oxygen entrained within a mineral crystal that dissolves when combined with water. The oxygen is then released to form hydrogen peroxide – a compound long known for its sanitizing and disinfectant abilities. The hydrogen peroxide completes its work and then degrades into oxygen and water, leaving behind only the minerals that are stable, naturally occurring compounds – no different than minerals often found in drinking water. Because One Step is essentially non-foaming when used at the recommended concentration, it may be used in clean-in-place (CIP) systems as well as in the soak tank. One Step may be used on, essentially, all surfaces and is safe for brass, copper, aluminum and stainless, as well as polycarbonate and vinyl.

6.5 Gallon Food-Grade Fermenter Bucket with Volume Markers
A food-grade 6.5 gallon plastic bucket perfect for all kinds of home beer or winemaking activities. Plastic buckets are often used as a fermenter, bottling bucket, or even sanitizer bucket. We go through thousands which helps keep our price down. If you want to use it as a fermenter you will also need to pick up the optional lid, stopper, and airlock. This bucket is also available in a version that includes a spigot (see recommended products below). If you use this plastic bucket for fermentation be sure to use care when cleaning. Do not use any abrasive pads that would scratch. Once you get a scratch in a plastic bucket it is very hard to sanitize. This is also why we don't recommend storing equipment in a bucket between uses as a fermenter. A hot PBW soak is often a perfect way to clean a bucket, followed by a Star San soak for killing bacteria. Bucket has external volume markings up to 5 gallons. 17.5" H x 12" Ø Please note: 6.5 Gallon Capacity to the brim. Volume markers go to 5 gallons. Buckets are translucent and do not come with lids. Buckets are not designed to hold pressure. Lids are not gasketed and so do not always form a perfect, airtight seal. Not intended for long-term storage. Food grade up 180°F.

Calcium Carbonate
Calcium carbonate is used to reduce the acidity of wine. It does not require cold-stabilization to force complete precipitation, as does potassium carbonate. However, calcium carbonate is more likely to affect the flavor than potassium carbonate, and may take a few months to fully precipitate. One-quarter ounce (about 4 teaspoons) of calcium carbonate reduces acidity in one gallon by about 0.25%. Foaming may occur because of the production of CO2. Do not use more than one ounce per gallon. Wait 24 hours and rack wine. Calcium carbonate is also used in beer to increase the temporary hardness of water. Traditionally used in English stouts, pale ales and bitters. Usage: Usage varies with acid level Common name: Chalk

Scottzyme Pec5L | Pectinase | Add to Must or Juice | Increases Yield
Scottzyme PEC5L – Pectinase Enzyme for Enhanced Settling and Juice Yield Rapidly breaks down soluble pectins for faster settling and improved clarity Increases free-run and press yield by reducing viscosity and cell wall resistance Improves flotation efficiency and tightens lees compaction Effective across a wide pH range and performs well at low temperatures Ideal for white, rosé, and fruit wines requiring fast clarification and clean separation Scottzyme PEC5L is a highly active liquid pectinase enzyme formulated to reduce pectin-related haze and increase processing efficiency in juice production. By breaking down soluble pectins, PEC5L dramatically improves juice release during pressing, reduces must viscosity, and accelerates settling or flotation. The result is clearer juice, more compact lees, and higher overall yield. Its formulation is optimized for cool-temperature performance and a broad pH range, making it a versatile tool in grape and non-grape juice clarification. Unlike general pectinases, PEC5L is designed to act quickly and cleanly, without over-extraction of phenolics or bitterness. Protocol Dilute Scottzyme PEC5L in 10 times its volume of chlorine-free water or juice. Add to must or juice immediately after crushing or during transfer to settling tank. Mix well to ensure even distribution. For flotation, add just before or during the flotation process. Avoid adding at the same time as SO₂ or bentonite. Usage Rates Recommended dosage: 1.5–4.0 mL per 1000 lb of fruit or 0.075–0.2 mL per gallon of juice = approximately 0.02–0.05 mL per liter Use lower rates for clean, low-pectin fruit or warmer temperatures. Use higher rates for pectin-rich grapes, low temperatures, or difficult-to-settle musts. Allow contact time of 2 to 12 hours depending on conditions and desired level of clarification.

Polyclar VT (PVPP)
A non-soluble clarifier that removes both haze causing polyphenols as well as yeast cells. Mix 2 Tbls (or 5 g) with one cup of sanitized warm water and gently stir into five gallons beer. Let stand for a few days and rack off. Polyclar VT is a coarser grade of PVPP (140 micron particle size), optimized for addition to vessels, where faster settling is required. The larger particle size also facilitates settling of the stabilizer, allowing the majority of the product to be left behind with the lees at racking. A typical contact time of between 3 to 10 days is required, although there are no adverse effects from leaving Polyclar in contact with the wine for longer periods. For wine use .5 to 2.5 grams per gallon depending upon severity of problem and desired affect. A rough approximate of weight is 1 tsp = 1.1 grams. We highly recommend using a scale to weigh the product for an accurate dose. We do not recommend relying on these rough conversions for accurate dosage rates.

Dual Scale Refractomer w/ ATC
A refractometer is used to measure the density of a solution. 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. A refractometer cannot be directly used after fermentation has taken place as alcohol distorts the reading, however a conversion calculator (MS Excel based) is available from MoreWine! on request. Refractometer Statistics: Our refractometer is hand held with a metal body, flexible eye piece and rubber grip. It features a 0 to 32% Brix scale with .2% resolution and ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation). Traditional refractometers without ATC are calibrated to work at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The ATC function allows you to use the refractometer in an ambient temperature range of 50-86 degrees 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. Our unit also comes with a manual calibration knob that is secured with a lock nut. To calibrate place one drop of water (distilled water is preferred, but not required) on the testing platform and adjust to zero if necessary.
