The carbonation is a byproduct of the fermentation that is going on.It's going to happen. Really when you us the EZ Cap you are making asparkling wine. My last bottle of wine I left sitting for severalmonths and the time with it waiting dissipated a lot of thecarbonation and mellowed out the flavor. Give that a shot.How you're making wine is different from how normal wine is made.You're making something in 2-3 weeks which would normally take severalyears of handling and tending.But the carbonation (CO2) is normal. Let it "go flat" afterwards ifthat is what you're looking for.--- "bev052185" wrote:>> i jsut started to drink my first batch of wine.
