    Heron Bay Chianti......awful finish

    We almost quit making wine because our first kit tasted so poor. Months later.....our first kit is awesome and our friends want more. I haven't tried your kit, but I won't open a bottle before six months again. (I hope!)

    Forgot to add the enzyme

    Oops! My apologies, I should have said it wanted us to add in the secondary. I skipped the enzyme as there is no white line. This wine seems to be turning out better than the first one. It was a WE kit and has a light sulpher smell and is watery. We are taking way more time on this one and...

    bottling

    Thanks for all of the replies. I think we are going to move wine on Wednesday to a new location and let carboy sit a little tilted (on a book) until Thursday. Rack to bucket and then bottle Friday morning. Tasted wine today and it taste better already than the cheap stuff we are drinking...

    bottling

    Tried a search and didn't find the answer. A search answered all of my other questions though, so thanks for the great information. We have a Chilean Merlot that is cleared and in a carboy. We will probably bottle this weekend. Do you bottle from the carboy or move to a bucket with the...

    Greetings

    Just a quick hello from Missouri. We will be bottling our first wine (a Chilean Merlot) around Thanksgiving. Purchased a Shiraz kit for the next one and looking at Amarone for the third. Hope all is well with you!
