    2023 White Wines - finally!

    Yeah, wineries & vineyards are 2 different things. There are plenty of both but none I see are selling grapes. The vineyards fall into 2 categories - a small vineyard making small batch wine or custom growers for the likes of Beckers or Llano

    2023 White Wines - finally!

    Wow, this is all really nice. I could drive 8 hours in any direction and not find grapes outside of a grocery store!

    Hydrometer already showing 0.994 in primary fermentation

    Instructions are garbage, believe in your hydrometer. Everything else is just guessing.

    The Bread Thread

    We've found that freezing a fresh loaf when it is still slightly warm helps with the taste when thawed.

    Finer Wine Kit Freezing my FWK

    Except the OP specifically said FWK, which is not shelf stable and must be frozen or chilled.

    Finer Wine Kit Freezing my FWK

    Freeze it and then you are free to worry about other things. If there is a skins pack then be sure to freeze that also.

    SQUEEZE master

    I have a policy of not buying Chinese anything if the product is involved with food or food making. Can they make quality items - sure, but trust is earned and I don't trust Chinese manufacturing.

    Finer Wine Kit Holy Semi-Commercial Batman! Or where do I get 100L fermenters?

    FWK introduces the Winery Series! - Apx 61L - 77L depending upon the version. Able to order up to 12 skin kits and a pound of seed. Thank the Lord that I just do not have room to scale up to this size, it will keep me sane.

    Have you ever looked at the forecast and want to cry?

    Well send that rain to South Texas, it's been hotter than Hell since the middle of June and just as dry.

    Finer Wine Kit Finer Whites w/o Carbon

    I've made several batches of FWK whites and I have never used the carbon. Basically, I don't care that my wine is amber. I agree with what winemaker81 had to say, it makes no difference other than the color, so it's really up to you.

    Particles in my wine

    If it's complete then treat it like Mr Carson does on Downton Abbey - decant each bottle through a fine sieve into a decanter. Especially at dinner, a fine decanter of wine is always a pleasant sight.

    Dissolving Label Paper - cool!

    Fancy cost money, how fancy can you afford to be? I'm happy with the matte white ones, labels come off reasonably well and if not then a short soak gets them off. Yeah, I wouldn't spring for $125 labels either.

    Dissolving Label Paper - cool!

    Which ones Bryan? I'm getting OL2547WR for the same price as silverbulleto07 - which is your $50 with shipping, etc. Which ones were $125?

    Source for must

    I'm sure members will be here shortly to help out, but in the meantime search the web for "grape must for sale". Several vendors showed up.

    What are Resisthaltes

    Went out to that website - it reads like it was AI generated.
