    Pink camo wine labels?

    I would like to create a professional looking wine label with a pink camo design. Google and Bing searches have met with no success. Water bottle labels are too narrow and don't allow space for much information. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance. :h

    WineXpert Topping up Mezza Luna Red

    I will be bulk ageing a Mezza Luna Red and will need to top up. The vendor said "Just guess" when I asked what wine would be best to use. Any other recommendations? Thanks in advance!

    Limoncello, take 2

    I wish half-gallons of Everclear could be purchased in California. Every so often there are rumors the state legislature is going to ban Everclear as a poison. So far that has not happened but about every two years or so I buy a case or two to have on hand if it is does. You get strange looks...

    Limoncello, take 2

    I make my limoncello in a couple of 2.5 gallon glass canisters I bought at Bed Bath and Beyond for 30% off and a 15% off coupon. They were the last 2 in stock so both of them went home with me. Couldn't pass up the opportunity. :h

    What was the worst wine you ever made?

    My first WE Coastal Red. It was the first kit I tried to make. It had so much potential and I was so sad when I had to dump it :( It smelled so bad! :sh

    What R you doing today?

    Zested about 5 dozen Eureka lemons which are now steeping in a blend of 2 liters of Everclear and 2 liters of 100 proof vodka for this year's batch of limoncello. I might add more next weekend. Debating starting a batch the same size with Meyer lemons and blending some of it with a little of the...

    Thinking outside the box

    Tweaking Naughty Merlot? I recently bought an IM Naughty Merlot kit. I would like to boost the body and the ABV just a bit. No bananas in my pantry and nearest grocery store is 45 minutes away. A can of Alexander Merlot concentrate has been sitting on the shelf for a while and is in...

    Pick a Wine Kit & Win a Wine Kit Giveaway

    Eclipse Napa Valley Stag's Leap Merlot, please. I have ordered from your site several times. Orders handled rapidly and arrived promptly in good condition. It would be a great help if yeast energizer were available. I would love to order everything I need from HomebrewSupply.com.

    Alexander Burgundy and Merlot

    I have one can each of the Burgundy and Merlot concentrates. I am wondering if they could be used as a substitute for red grape concentrate. Or would they be a good blend? If I choose to make a blended wine, should I make each separately then blend? Or mix the concentrates in primary...

    Support your local shops!

    I agree about supporting local business if you can. I wish there was a LHBS closer than 3 hours away (6 hours round trip). I very much appreciate the online vendors I have found through WMT. Without them I could not make wine at all. Sometimes though I only need a small item like a packet of...

    Ready for Snowmageddon??

    I got out of DC just in time! I left from Reagan Airport at 6:45 AM Eastern Time yesterday flying to LAX. Arrived in LA at 10 AM Pacific Time. According to the flight boards they were already cancelling and delaying flights to and from Philadelphia, Boston and DC, not to mention NYC.

    What's for Dinner?

    Steak and mushroom pie, numerous cups of strong hot tea and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Total contentment. Sigh.

    November 2016 WOTM Club

    Quick update on my apple wine...it's all racked, it cleared like a dream and it is very smooth. It cleared on its own and I just split the 2 gallons into 2 one gallon containers. Decided to spice one and leave the other unspiced. The apple flavor is a bit weak at the moment but the wine is a lot...

    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    Yeast question I am planning a 3 gallon batch of DB using a can of Riesling concentrate and a fruit salad blend of pineapple, strawberries and mango. Would it be worthwhile to use Lalvin BM 4x4 yeast instead of EC-1118? I plan to skip the lemon juice in primary. I'm hoping the 4x4 will make a...
