How to choose a corker
For beer bottles with crown caps you use a capper such as the VIK Capper. For wine bottles with natural or synthetic corks you need a corker that compresses the cork before it goes into the bottle. The Enolandia bench corker takes corks up to 25 mm in diameter and bottles of 23–33 cm. For sparkling wine you need champagne corks, wire cages and a wire twister, which also presses the cork down into the classic mushroom shape.
Frequently asked questions about Enolandia
How much rennet do I use?
For calf rennet at strength 1:10000, the average dose is 3–4 ml per 10 litres of milk at about 36 °C. If the curd is not firm after about 30 minutes, add a little more and wait another 20 minutes.
Can I make cheese from ordinary semi-skimmed milk?
Yes. The Enolandia cheesemaking kits work with ordinary low-fat milk. The mozzarella kit includes everything except the milk, while the complete kit needs milk and a culture for the cheese you want to make.
What do I need to ferment vegetables?
A jar with an airlock and a press that keeps the vegetables below the brine. The Enolandia kit also includes a thermometer and pH strips. For sauerkraut, mix 1 kg of shredded white cabbage with 20 g of salt and leave it to ferment for 1–2 weeks at room temperature.
What size fermenters do the Compact airlocks fit?
Compact Mini suits fermenters up to 30 litres and Compact Medium up to 60 litres. Tubing with a 12 mm inner diameter fits the centre tube and can be used as a blow-off during vigorous fermentation.
