自从在magog品尝苹果酒，一直梦想着做苹果酒。但苦于难以弄到苹果汁。今天在maxi看到听装的苹果汁，感觉会比纸盒装的少些防腐剂。于是买来3听做一尝试。现已经开听并加入发酵粉。各位酒友敬请关注。

It should be Metabisulphite, could be Potassium Metabisulphite or Sodium Metabisulphite.  Roughly about 50 grams (8 tsp.) per 4 litres (1 gallon) of water, when used for sanitizing wine making equipments.  

Same thing used as anti-oxidation agent for wine, also helps to prevent microbial spoilage.  In practice, we add an additional 1/8 teaspoon to 20/23 liters of wine each time we syphon when bulk age, ~2nd month ~4 or 5th month.

能挤出水的都是juice, 只有做酒的葡萄汁才叫must。 我倒是没有见过metavisulfite这个词，但是meta－是“之后”，sulfite是二氧化硫的词根，凑到一起想来是大杀四方的东西，怎么能说13个字母没有用呢？

  It now makes sense, 'cause I was really confused by the 'vi' in that word. Potassium Metabisulphite or Sodium Metabisulphite, the chemo-structure shows up.

stringer, whenever u finish your wine, would u mind to upload picture + comment on taste, please!

John, there are other ways to make Champagne, I'll post them when I find time.  It's too late to start for x'mas now, may be for Chinese New Year.  

x'mas is a good time to collect Champagne bottles, it's extremely hard to find them any other time.

Sauvignon Blanc is a flavorite amongst caucations, even for red wine drinkers, goes well with seafood.  However it's a bit acidic for Chinese taste.  How do u like yours?

dont worry about xmas, you can always find good reasons to open a champagne, beside chinese new year. waiting for your instruction for making champagne. i remeber only some certain kinds of grape juice can be used to mke it

i add 1 bottle of my icewhite to my sauvignon to sweeten it. it tastes perfect to me. i'll bring a bottle to office this week and see how those lao wai like it.

最近筹备酿葡萄酒. 是不是什么季节都可以在COSTCO 买到WIN KITS ? 还是只能在秋季能买到. 朋友给我一个做葡萄酒的RECIPE, 供大家参考.

收集到很多酒瓶. 如果没有瓶塞, 可不可以用食品保鲜膜或其他东西代替?

kit包括瓶塞。

一年四季都可以买到冷藏的葡萄汁或costco的kit。

春夏秋的温度比较适合酿酒。冬天如果房间温度比较高或适当加温也没问题。



我最近用超市买的普通苹果汁酿了3L酒。做个试验。还不错。这是2008的最后一拨。抽时间把照片和过程上载上来。

我现已有百瓶存货，够喝好一阵子了。冬天来了，我得找点别的乐。2009春天再整。呵呵
