I second the recommendation of the AIO. A true time saver and work reducer.

@Fran365: Tthanks for posting this recipe. I might give it a try. The 2 gallon batch idea appeals to me and the recipe looks easy to follow. It also sounds very tasty. I'm looking forward to trying this.

Four solid walls. Right now my fermenting space and winemaking area is a screened-in patio. Spacious but not temperature controlled. :)

About 4 months ago I made 1 Gallon kits of Master Vintner Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio, 1 of each. My intention was to blend the two and I wanted to figure out the right ratio before committing to larger kits. The wines blended nicely but nothing that encouraged me to make more. Until...I...

@Brigitte: Your idea about the port sounds great to me! I must admit I don't know about how the nibs would work in primary as I am new to winemaking too. Please keep us posted. I would love to know how this turns out for you. :h

It sure looks delicious! Did you buy it? I definitely will be looking for this at my local Walmart. Thanks for bringing this blend to my attention :h

@sour grapes: Thanks for posting one of my favorite jokes!

I liked HomeBrew a lot. Good selection but the shipping costs for wine kits priced them out of my budget. Excellent customer service.

1 double batch of limoncello made with Eurekas and a double batch using Meyers. I split the batches and blended half of each together. The blend is my favorite! So smooth and a really nice flavor.

I added the simple syrup yesterday to the double batch I made with Everclear and vodka. It will need some time to mellow a bit but the sample I tried has really good flavor.
