"如果能留到一年以上，我就得换瓶塞了。" => For sure your ice wine can be kept for 5 years in cellar (any cool basment).

我礼拜四弄的葡萄酒，今天早上一看，上面起了一点点白色的茸毛，打开已闻到酒味。我该怎么处理那些小茸毛，还是要全倒掉？请有经验的朋友告知。

Sorry, it's too late to save it now.  The following MAY work (I still doubt it) if it ever happen again:
-  buy a pack of EC-1118(=$1 that John mentioned),
-  rehydrate yeast per instructions on back of yeast package,
-  add 1-2 cups of your fermenting grape juice, wait 0.5-2 hours and see it ferment
(only 1 type of yeast can survive, let them kill each other; let's pray that EC-1118 will kill the unknown one)
-  add few more cups of your juice, wait few hours till ferment, then pour the whole thing into your big batch.  
(This is to get a bigger population of EC-1118 to  work in your big batch)

The above is also used for saving "problem"(= stop fermention halfway or juice doesn't start after 5-7 days)

经常可以在kijiji.ca上找到2手的做酒的工具设备。价格当然不错。

想知道，葡萄作的酒，想长时间存放，怎样才行？是否要杀酵母？要密封吗？常温下，可以吗？

john000

常温没问题。加稳定剂；灌瓶，或存于CARBOY中，或最理想存橡木桶中，如果不能一下子存在肚子里。

请问稳定剂英文是什么？用法及用量?谢谢。

john000

stablizer. 一般店里的活计会告诉你用量。通常是一小包。

bootlegger是一家很不错得酿酒店。以其独特得啤酒kits见长。

问起店掌柜关于bootlegger的由来。掌柜的说，在美国大萧条时期，国会颁布了禁酒法。于是也就出现了非法酿酒行业，也就是bootlegging行业。可见，用bootlegger做店名着实很酷。

时间流转，如今美国又糊里糊涂地进入经济衰退，是不是又一次大萧条还是一个吓人地问号。加拿大受影响会有多深不可而知。anyway, 还是先备好酒为妙。

想问：
1，我做的酒，不太透明，怎样才能变透明？
2，怎样做精品葡萄酒？

john000

首先你得说明你是用什么做的？
