Wines made from grapes respond best to MLF. The main reason is that the bacteria work better with a small amount of grape solids to feed on in addition to the malic acid. Wine kits do not need MLF because they are formulated with malic acids. We recommend against using MLF with any wine kits...

Do the kits come with Muslin bags if you ordered skins / seeds?

Ribeye and blacken alaskan fish on the Green Egg. Wife and I split it in half 70-30 🤣

Oh yeah ... the hobby sucks you in and there are plenty of enablers to help you along the way! 😆 I love it!

Imagine if you are looking to get into the frozen juice or unpasteurized concentrate kits and learn more about skins / seeds. The end of season sales at 50% off are a blessing! Last year in December I bought the Grenache Rose and Tavola Pinot Noir at 50% off or more, and I didn't even know if...

No idea so many off chutes .... whew!

I like the way you are thinking but what you don't know is I have a FWK Tavola Pinot Noir (no skins) started in March 2023 and in bulk aging right now. I hope the Tavola PN turns out as a lighter more delicate wine and the Forte PN I purchased today is much bolder with more body. One of the...

I had a Forte Pinot Noir in my cart last night with a few other items to buy, but could not decide if I wanted that Forte Pinot Noir or the Tavola Syrah with a single skin so I went to bed. This morning it was Twala! 😆 Yes, on sale 50% off so I bought both.

Sale started today on what is still in stock or leftover. 50% off .... Bought the Tavola Syrah with one skin, and Forte Pinot Noir with double skins pack. I've never had wine kit with skin packs. Hurry, rumor is they sell out quick on this 50% off sale. I'm like a kid at Christmas now...

There is a ton of information on the forums with bulk aging and the three gallons you have in a carboy will be better over time. Now you have 12-14 bottles to drink. It will interesting to see if the wine clears even more in over the next 3-4 months in the carboy. I'm also buying the...

I made the DB last year with triple berry, might have over sweetened, and its starter wine for kids. 😆 I'm going to wait and see how my VB raspberry and black cherry turn out before committing to anything else. Dark tart cherries sounds very interesting! In 2022 I made an Island Mist...

Hats off to you for trying to make it better or change the VB Cherry. Tonight I had friends over for a celebration .... its Monday! We opened a bottle of the Concord I bottled a few days ago and everyone thought it was really good. After several glasses I thought it was pretty good too but I...

I do have the Vintners Best Black Raspberry bulk aging at 2 months and Black Cherry is clearing at week 3. I added 1 liter of Global concentrate & three cups of sugar, and reconstituted to 23 liters for both. I have several six gallon carboys vs five gallon. I'm not sure what my...

I have not made frozen concord concentrate but this is the second time for the Vintners Best concord. The first time wasn't so great and I decided it was time for another try. Mine was topped off with 19 Crimes Pinot Noir ..... again, not horrible but not great. I've got 24 bottles left and...

The Vintners Best Concord I started on Nov 5th 2022 is in the bottle and it doesn't suck .... mediocre wine right now but doesn't suck. I will know more tonight when I have the chance to drink multiple glasses!

That is so great .... congrats!

I'm a little sad its not (probably not) going to work out. I need a dry red of some sort for special occasions or friends ... more than the FWK Pinot Noir in bulk aging. This brownish stuff is not like anything I've ever tasted. 🤢
