Aluminum pails should not be used in winemaking as aluminum is a reactive metal. For home winemaking, the preferred pails are food grade plastic. They can be purchased at a winemaking supply store or you could make arrangements to possibly pick some up from a local restaurant before their pails are discarded or go into the recycle bin. Just give them a good cleaning and sanitize them before using them.
Oenology is the science and study of winemaking.
Actistab is a brand name for Potassium Sorbate. Essentially it is a preservative. It is used in winemaking to prevent fermentation in sweet wines. These wines tend to start fermenting again in the bottle. This is usually prevented by doing a sterile filtration on the wine (takes out all yeast cells) but some winemakers do not have that option (home winemaking or garagiste winemaking). Others believe that such a filtration strips the wine of flavour and opt for 'Actistab'. Hope this answers your question!
The science of winemaking is known as Oenology (in American English, Enology)Cheers:)VinoEnology.com
