Would this be appropriate to pour small amounts of several different reds for tasting purposes ?

yes easy to use and all you have to do is rinse it with water between wines

You can pour as much or as little as you want. Just give it a quick rinse between pourings

Sure, split it into two batches. Since it might be tricky to split the concentrate evenly use a hydrometer to get the right specific gravity when adding the water

Sure, you could. I would recommend getting a full 5 gallon kit though. It'll be cheaper in the long run. Austin homebrew has some great kits to choose from.

I used it for ginger beer and the bottles exploded a few months later in my pantry. I would suggest getting a devise (hydrometer for beer and wine tasting) that checks the intensity of the carbonation. I will get one before I do it again. The bottles that survived were very good and had bubbles like champagne.

I don't think it is right for large quantities. It is great for grating for family use.

I never tried. I'm sure you could as it has a pretty standard sized bottle opening, but it won't be a smooth dripless pour.

Yes Noreen. You may use it individually if you must but it kinda defeats the purpose though. These modular pieces work AND LOOK great when attached. Recommend at least 2 to 3 so they sit properly. Hey, 2 bottles are better than one, no?

Yes,unless you're entertaining huge get togethers. As a matter of fact, it's actually a bit big for most average recipes,e.g. 4-6 servings. Take care,Jeff.

Yes. I use mine for both 6 oz. of blackberries and raspberries. In fact, I own two and have used one for small clumps of grapes.

if you pour reasonably slowly it should be fine I use it to filter/pour milk into bottles from a 6 quart bucket

Yes, though I wouldn't overly recommend it. Unless you pour VERY slowly, it leaks around the edges.

I use it for both and I feel that it really brings out the flavors in the wine. I notice the most difference in reds but will do it for any wine. As long as you rinse it out after I have not noticed any staining from the red yet (I have only had it a couple of months). Hope this helps.

It would depend on the size of your bottle. The jewels are fairly large; each one is about the size of a grape. These jewels would probably be perfect for what you're describing, other than the possible size issue. You may need something smaller.

It has been my experience at some tastings that sample volumes tend to be small. In those cases it may be a concern. If sampling with regular normal fill glasses of wine I would say there would be not enough cross-contamination to notice.

It may be able to. I've used it to ferment beer (primary fermentation) with no adverse effects on taste. They weren't gas-tight, so I might worry about leaks.

I would not recommend that you make only 1 Gallon at a time using this kit as you only need a new fermentation bucket, that is fairly cheap considering what your planning

It will have no problem. You will have to make several batches though. This is not a big deal.
