We are 3+ hrs from Indy in the southern part of Indiana. I'm 30 min from Kentucky and 30 minutes from Illinois. We have a local wine club you can buy wines from around the country and taste but they do not offer wine making. Thought about joining the wine tasting club but not sure I like...

First, let me thank you for posting these pictures and story ..... I love this! What a great opportunity for vintners on all levels to get together and share stories plus drink some wine. Second, for the past few months I've wondered if anyone in my area was making wine or let me rephrase...

Welcome to WMT ... I'm in Evansville. Played some softball in Goshen years ago!

I think the advice of freezing is probably the best option but I will tell you in December of last year they had an end of season sale where I bought the Tavola Pinot Noir $75 and the Grenache Rose for $80. Can't pass up that deal. I stuck them into the refrigerator (not freezer) and we went...

Do me a favor, after your FWK arrive, give is an update on how the juice arrived (hot/cold or just the temp of the juice). Delivery from FedEx?

Evansville ... westside in Vanderburgh County.

Gritch ..... you got me thinking about ordering more FWK this week but I'm worried about the frozen juice with the hot weather. Its going to be in the mid 90's with air temps over 100* this week. (I'm also in Indiana) Purchased a couple of WE kits this summer (June/July), but my heart is...

Its been a couple of months and today I checked this wine I reconstituted to 1.100sg and found its not a very good wine. Its just off a little and I guess its because its supposed to be a dessert Icewine ...... not necessarily to be messed with like this. The other wines using the ABC crafted...

I'm glad the damage was minimal with only a broken carboy and no lost wine. Probably would have scared the bejesus out of me! My brother in law had a plastic fermenter fail which split in the middle causing juice to spill over his tile floor staining the grout. Dave (Vinny) knocked over a...

I've made several purchases from this company (4 or 5), in fact, I had a small order of shrink capsules and a few other things arrive yesterday. Although I haven't ordered a wine kit, I can still tell you the customer service is excellent with everything I've ordered.

You will know more in a couple of months but my question would be ..... would you buy the Novello's again or stay with Tavolla / Forte?

I'm going to buy some of those in the next couple of months .... just trying to get my order together with bungs, buckets, and other things.

I bumped the sugar up to 1.055 sg or 7.3% ABV using 1.5 cups of inverted sugar. Sorta let my hydrometer tell me how much inverted sugar to add because I didn't want a full blown wine 11-12% but a wine cooler around 7%. It was on sale last year and I had ordered a few other things. The...

What are past practices? This is new to you but can't be the first time ever? Best of luck and hope its not a total loss. Positive vibes your way!

Congrats man .... you got this!

Only about 60% of US workers are satisfied with their jobs so if you have the opportunity to be in that 60% I say go for it. Take your education and common sense with you .... things will be fine. Congrats. Keep us posted on how your first official day on the new job goes! Also, as part...

Guessing you've racked into glass, sorbate, and clearing agents? What is your impression so far? Inquiring minds want to know. 😁

No worries ... not like you were trying to be confrontational or anything. I'm not sure I agree with not using sorbate or clearing agents myself. 😁 The Enigma had the second sweetener bag included, plus its my first Reserve kit. You know, we pay a little extra for the Reserve kits so with...

My California Enigma hit .994 or .996 sg). So I racked into glass. I intend to use the sorbate and clearing agents which contradicts what I originally wanted to do a couple of weeks ago. This is my first WineXpert reserve kit plus it came with a second bag. The flavor or sweetener bag is...

IDK ... I like the different steps it takes to get a semi perfect wine. 😉 I appreciate the thinking outside the box but for me the different steps keep me busy.
