Should I Filter My Home Made Wine?

Yes. It is quite common for most commercial wineries to filter their wine after the fermentation process and before bottling. Some people think that this will remove some of the flavoring components but it has been tried and tested by the wine manufacturers for decades if not hundreds of years.

The filtering process will aid in removing the extra gasses that the yeast produces and will remove the yeast itself.

If you are unsure of how to filter your own wine then you can always look fore more information about wine filtering online.

Some wine kits will come with a wine filtering equipment and everything that you will need to filter your home made wine but if your kit did not come with one then you can go to your local wine making store to purchase on or you could simply purchase one online.

What is a carboy?

A carboy is the secondary fermentation chamber in the wine making process.

It is usually made out of glass and looks a lot like a large bottle from a water cooler.
You are going to want to attach an air lock to the carboy during the secondary fermentation process because it will keep the bacteria that is present in the air from entering the container and ruining the brew.
