Do you have instruction on racking wine?

Favorite Answer:

Hey Jimmy,

The proper way to do this is called “Riddling”. The only way to accomplish this without riddling is to age it in large barrels and to remove the wine from the top into it’s final bottles. I am assuming that you don’t have a large barrel that you are fermenting in. So your only recourse is to Riddle.

When you Riddle, the wine is placed at a 35-45 degree angle and every few days, the wine bottle is turned so that sediments will fall towards the cork. After several weeks of this you will take the bottle out of your riddling rack and freeze the top of the bottle with either liquid nitrogen or liquid CO2. (In the old days it was done slowly in buckets of ice and salt) When the top of the bottle+wine is frozen, the cork is removed – taking with it the sediments, and the wine is re-corked and re-riddled. This is done twice and you then have a sediment free wine. Make sure that your wine will always stay “On cork” for best results.

The only large scale production that is done this way is Domain Chandon and Dom Perignon. All of Chandons White Star and Cuvee’s as well as their high end production are done this way.

How does fruit produce fruit flies?

Favorite Answer:

Hey Hais,

I read with some laughter the answers regarding fruit/eggs and fruit flies.

Rarely do you get fruit flies because of fruit. Flies are Flies. Adult flies will lay their eggs in or near rotting fruit because the adult realizes that this is a good source of food for larvae. Same thing for garbage cans. Small (Baby or Fruit) flies will hang around rotting fruit and rotting garbage because the material is already decomposing and easily digested (mostly its the sugar that they are able to extract – hence the term “fruit flies”)

In the US, we rarely get a “Fruit Fly”. The last time we had an infestation of Fruit Flies, it was during the 1980’s in California. They had an infestation of Mediterranean Fruit flies that could have wiped out the Fruit harvest for decades.

What you are seeing is nothing more than baby common house flies.

Hope that this helped!

Am I an alcoholic?

Hey Sarah,

I will answer this fairly easily, A Non-Alcoholic never asks themself if they are an alcoholic!

If you are not getting drunk, then why do you think it’s so much fun? Your friend will probably get in trouble first and to try to save her job, will rat you out! Federal Employee or not, you will lose your job!

Sorry to hear that,

James

Why are all the THIFriday’s restaurants closed in Louisiana?

Favorite Answer:

Sorry Eric,

I wish it were something witty…

They weren’t making any money to begin with and after the floods decided that they would cut their losses. I thought, though, that there was still one (a franchise) open in Meterarie, LA

I hope, for you that it’s still open.
