If you like your wine sooner than later. Siphon the wine into 1-gallon plastic water jugs, and smaller plastic juice bottles, even into plastic water bottles to the neck. Seal the plastic containers with the plastic caps that came with the containers. Once a day, unscrew caps slightly to let...

Good going @RocketBee. I have a WE vintners reserve that I'm going to make. This thread will come in handy for suggestions

I also made White wine where the juice was sourced from Niagara. Most likely all come from the same source. Some say foxy, I smelled petrol. You could try adding a concentrated flavoring to mask it. I'm going to mix some Niagara wine and banana wine and see what I get. In the past, I've...

You can bottle your concord wine "as is" once you feel it's cleared. If you want to drink your wine sweeter, pour the bottle of wine into a decanter before you are ready to drink, and add some sugar, stir the wine in the decanter to dissolve it, and taste to your liking. Then Chill and...

For those having issues with their fermenters not sealing correctly. Try using plumbers tape on the threads, if it's a screw-on type. Same for the gallon jugs used for long-term storage/aging. Drink wine, love women, don't get the two confused

"Wine Revealed" is a good series, spending most of the time in Italy and neighboring Slovenia. That said many of the vineyard managers and winemakers interviewed on Wine Revealed basically the same things as other Wine Related documentaries. "The Wine Show" series on Hulu is a good watch if...

Watched all of the wine revealed series. Besides the region or vineyard, all the episodes are somewhat repetitive in content and storyline. Still, they are worth watching. Maybe they'll repeat the episodes, or have a binge watch day. Amazon has a few documentaries associated with wine and...

A wine that can be properly aged, beyond 5 years, begins its journey in the vineyard. One must use the proper grape under the right growing conditions. There are only a few vintages chosen for long-term aging by professional winemakers. Now that said, some wines require a few years of age to...

I picked up 3 bottles of the exact wine from COSTCO in October-2019. I'm glad to hear that it's worth drinking now and possibly cellaring a bottle for a later year. Thanks

What's the temperature of the wine must?

I have a gallon of wine with a very similar problem. I made several one-gallon jugs of various fruit juice wines during very hot temps, no air conditioning 90+ F degree weather. Two gallons out of six 1-gallon batches fermented dry in 3 days and developed the weird taste that you are...

That's fantastic. Sometimes we just gotta go for it. You never know what those little yeasties will create. So did it retain the guava taste?

I too recently started my wine-making hobby this year May 2019. I used my years of beer-making experience to make an initial easy wine-making equipment buying decision. Important things to consider: 1.) Clean and sanitized equipment, 2.) Bacteria free ferment with a steady fermentation. 3.)...

You can always add sanitized marbles or something to take up space in the carboy. Also, maybe place the carboy on the floor where temps are cooler. The top of the fridge might be too warm
