Transferred the California Gewurztraminer wine to a carboy for degassing and clearing. It is day 22. It was still fermenting slowly and it was about 1.001 a week ago and wasn't bubbling at all yesterday and measured 0.996 today. It gets the chitosan and reserves tomorrow.

A cropped photo showing a hydrometer in wine. It reads 0.996. The wine is clear and amber looking in the bucket.

The stirrer is driven by a drill motor. The top of the wine is frothy from the process.

Bottled the moscato wine today. It's been 32 days total and 9 days since I put the final addition in it. A little bit over 21 liters in bottles plus some other. It looks good, taste good, came out about 11% ABV.

A square cropped photo showing 20.5 liters of wine in 19 bottles as viewed inline with the five rows of bottles. The wine is light amber colored, or probably some wine specific color... On the left there are four 1.5 liter bottles, in the middle are twelve 1 liter bottles, and on the right are two 750ml bottles and one 1 liter bottle. All the bottles have swing tops with white caps and red gaskets, some are cork type wine bottles with a metal band added that allows mounting a swing top.A square cropped photo of the wine as viewed from a corner of the arrangement. The wine is very clear.A square cropped closeup photo of one of the 1.5 liter bottles showing the clarity. There are other bottles visible on the right side of the photo. There are reflections in the glass of the bottles that have no labels.

Not sure about the expert part.

A square cropped photo of a wine making kit. It says winexpert classic, califonia moscato, easy drinking wine making kit trousse de vinification - facile a boire oui oui... The box is back and pink and has happy people on it. The people are in fact people, humans if you will.. it says some stuff at the bottom but the preview is blocking that and I'm in a lazy mood to alt tab and look.. it's just numbers or more french.A square cropped photo showing the instructions paper, and from left to right a pouch of bentonite 30g, lalvin ec-1118 yeast, sorbate 9.5g, kieselsol 12.5ml, and chitosan 75ml. They are laid out on a custom made bamboo countertop constructed by the photographer.A square cropped photo of a fermenting bucket with 23 liters of must with yeast sprinkled on top. It looks golden brown with tan gunk (the yeast) floating on top. The bucket is white. It could be a pail.
