The second time I'm using peaches and making a must. Just covered with a towel, is working and I just stirred the must, yes it released a bunch of CO2 with a happy sigh. Guess will stir daily. I don't worry about any thing getting in at this stage as it's primary fermenting. Though it's only my second batch, first really with fruit it's going great. Wish I had started making wine and beer 20 years ago. So yes I am convinced stirring is a must with must.
Don't worry about air or a couple dead fruit flies falling in. Good stuff, Kevin. At the beginning, the yeast needs air Flies add protein? D rinks P lanet. To stir or not to stir Great input! I think I'll try stirring my raspberry must, it's now in it's 2nd day of fermentation. Those may interest you: When stirring primary fermentation.
Do you stir just cap or stir from the b It is a process that, on average, should be performed 2 to 4 times throughout the winemaking process. Doing so in a timely manner will aid in the clarification of the wine and help to inhibit the production of unwanted off-flavors.
Here are some other tips for producing wines with high alcohol levels. Pre-Start The Yeast. Make a wine yeast starter 1 to 2 days before you start the wine. Maintain Warmer Fermentation Temperatures. Normally, we recommend 72 degrees Fahrenheit as the optimum temperature for a fermentation. Provide Plenty Of Air. Fermentation is finished when it ceases to off gas. The airlock is still and has reached equilibrium. If you brew in glass, look at the beer, the yeast ceases swimming and flocculates settles on the bottom.
Pull a sample and taste it. Typically, the fermentation will need to be transferred into the secondary fermenter around the 5th day of fermentation. But, not all fermentations are the same. Some ferment so hard and fast, that by the fifth day, the fermentation is completely done. On occasion, others will take much, much longer. Botulism is a rare food poisoning caused by toxins created by bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. However, there have been instances of tainted wine made in prison : Some inmates have contracted botulism from batches of "pruno," where potatoes have usually been the culprit.

I am presently aging a WE malbec which I did not stir during primary. It fermented down to. Other kits like Mosti Modiale say to stir every day during primary in order to add more O2 and suspend the yeast.
I see the benefits of stirring. Should I just follow the kit instructions or stir? I'm a follow the instructions type but am open to good technique. Last edited: Jan 24, Tom Senior Member. Joined Nov 6, Messages 11, Reaction score Yes and no. Yes no stirring needed in WE No do not snap the lid Instead lay the lid on top minus the airlock. Yeast needs O2 in the begining. Super Moderator. Agree with Tom that no airlock for the first 5 days or so. Just lay the lid on top and cover the hole with something to keep the critters out.
I have always stirred per directions on Cellar Craft and Mosti. Have not made any WE kits. I like the idea of re-suspending the yeast and a gentle stir does just that.
If your making a kit with a grape pack then you need to push down the grape pack to aid in extraction daily as well. Joined Dec 1, Messages 54 Reaction score 0.
Does it harm the process in any way if we did stir a kit wine while in the primary stage? Last edited: Jan 25, Joined Nov 5, Messages 4, Reaction score Pretty sure the wine has more than enough protection in Primary by not only the CO2 escaping into the atmosphere but also that which is dissolved into the wine. Just look at the amount of CO2 that is still trapped in the wine when you go to degas. Some are worse than others it seems but there is so much CO2 that you should not worry amount oxidation under normal circumstances including gentle stirring to re-suspend the yeast in Primary.

There is lots of scientific info out there that says yeast need oxygen the first several days of fermentation. Log in Register. Search titles only. Search Advanced search…. New posts. Search forums.

Stirring the wine during primary fermentation. Thread starter teegasus Start date Jan 8, Help Support Homebrew Talk:. Hello Which methods are you using to vigorously stir the wine during primary fermentation to bring enough oxygen into the wine?
Tips and ideas? Also I am new to winemaking and just sat my first wine to ferment! Really excited! Sometimes I'll swirl the carboy a little if I think the yeast is slowing down, but I generally mess with it as little as possible. I get the oxygen into the grape juice by dumping it from a bucket into a carboy using a funnel and its gets enough oxygen for the yeast from this method.
Ok, so my method is probably incorrect, but what I'm saying is that you don't have to stir the wine to have it come out good, all my wine gets consumed without any complaints. Be aware that yeast only need oxygen in the very early growth phase.
