    King keg float issue

    Lube up the o-ring with vaseline. Also, lower the float by adding suitable weights to the bottom. I was lucky enough to have some SS washers that went under the ball. You could zip tie something to it too.

    Malolactic Fermentation

    Well - how big is the space ? f the wine is still fermenting, it will cover the surface with CO². But ideally you want as smaller space as possible. But like I said, leave it now until fermentation is over fully, and don't disturb it further. Maybe post a pic of your set up?

    Malolactic Fermentation

    Go to Wikipedia to read all about it. I see you are a first timer - don't sweat it - just dont bottle your wine until all the fermentation has finished. The first and hardest thing to learn is PATIENCE.

    Chuck box anyone

    I got stuck in snow on the motorway many years ago - no food, no extra clothes, no drink, nothing. Since then I've always carried a stove, water, clothes and some sort of rehydratable food to cook.

    Before fitting the airlock, full to the top?

    Keep it where it is for primary fermentation, then as it slows, top up with either sugar water or grape juice/concentrate.
