How can I oak the wine?
Oak adds some interesting flavors and also softens the tannins. You can add oak products such chips, staves, or
cubes to the wine during aging. Taste frequently and stop when you feel the oak flavor is sufficient.
When can I drink the wine?
One of the remarkable things about the GOfermentor JR process is that the gentle punching really extracts color
and flavor. The gentle built-in press does not crush the seeds so the wine is never bitter. In general, wine made in a
GOfermentor JR tastes a year older than in traditional equipment. So, you can drink the wine as soon as the yeast
settles (month or so). Ideally, you want to wait about 6 months and remove the settled material a few times during
this period (racking). Bottle some then and the rest after a year.
How do I bottle my wine?
Home winemaking stores or online supplier offer many options for home bottling. You can also buy custom labels
for your wine.
Can I sell my wine?
No. Federal law prohibits sale of homemade wine. It is expressly for your personal consumption.
Do I need to pay taxes on the wine I make?
No. No taxes and no permit necessary.
Can I just use juice instead of grapes?
You can. For white wine this is a good source. For red wine it is much better to use whole grapes.
