  • Racking and degassing all in one

    Racked the big blue fermenter on the right, using the enolmatic, and racking under vacuum also de-gasses the wine

            Either way, the enolmatic is one hell of a handy machine isn't it Bob.......

            bottling, racking, de-gassing, filtering (as long as you've got the filter to go with the enolmatic of course)........

                So what do you use to sanitise/clean it then Bob, and where do you get it ?

                Only because I seem to recall seeing some stuff advertised before, that is "supposed" to be the recommended stuff, but can't recall where I saw it....

                  How much??

                  I like these http://www.downshireleisure.com/imag...ble%20Pump.jpg

                  A tenner off ebay. Couple of quid for some croc clips, same again for a bit of 1/2 inch syphon tube and bob's your moderator.

                  oh - and you do need a 12v power source - a motorbike battery will do (or smaller) or one of these nasty black wall slugs and plug it into the mains. Old laptop charger will do it too.

                  I have run these for years - I am on my second - the first one got stuffed up with grape stones last year (oops).

                  PS an extra couple of quids buys the high volume one - well worth it. One 54l carboy takes about 90 seconds.

                  PPS A bit of stick (sterilized of course) up the side makes racking v v easy. As you can drive it around the bottle and adjust the height.

                  Do I need to do a video or will a photo do ?

                      For the pipework I just pull through about 5 gals clean water....

                      If I'm filtering then I back flush the filter, and then use Chemipro acid to clean the filter cartridge (from Brouwland)





                      chemipro ACID 1 l 004.021.2 € 10,95

                      CHEMIPRO ACID
                      NEW acid-based, no-rinse cleaner for all light duty cleaning in just one treatment (rinsing is not necessary if drained well!). Its hygienic cleaning power is not influenced by organic substances. Suitable for all equipment except copper and steel. Also suitable for rinsing out washable filter cartridges.
                      Dose : 1 % (250 ml makes 25 l of cleaning solution). Contact time 5 - 10 minutes.

                        Not cheap!

                        For the enolmatic with filter assembly and cartridge you wont get much change from £400 however the filter cartridge is reusable after back flushing and cleaning.

                        I love the fact that I can filter and bottle all in one, and that i can use it to rack, and to degas, and best of all there is no air involved as it is all done under vacuum

                          I bet filter bottling is REALLY good. Will it sterile filter?

                          - had a pass out to get a 'new' press.. presumably with all the money you saved me on the the Erbsloh test kit.

                            I'm pretty sure you can get cartridges down to 0.25 microns...I have a 0.45 micron one.But i think you need a membrane cartridge to sterile filter (not 100% sure on that)

                            will check.
