Jericurl, thank you for posting this! I need to try this method very soon. I really want to make a caramel apple wine and if I make the wine this summer, by winter it should be fairly nice.

Definitely sounds like a great base for Skeeter Pee and Dragon Blood! That was my first thought when I saw it. If the shipping wouldn't break my bank account, I would buy a case. Because with my luck, it will disappear and never be offered again. :) @Jericurl: I so understand. My list of...

@Jericurl According to search engine Bing, which is where I found out about it, labelpeelers.com and barleynvine.com offer it. Those are the two sites I know about. The blood orange puree base seems to be something added to the product line recently. If I can find an online source that...

Is anyone using this fruit base? Is this just a seasonal item? I am thinking of using this in a batch of Skeeter Pee or Dragon Blood.

I started an Island Mist Merlot Ho Ho kit last Saturday. My kit did the same thing. It was at .0992 this morning so I racked it and will fine and stabilize it next weekend. Thank you for your post. It eases my concerns.

So glad you bought the floor corker! It is definitely worth the investment. Wishing you happy corking! :h

Maui Wines! Just returned from Maui and while I was there I enjoyed a bottle of a wonderful Red from Maui Wines based at Ulupalakua Ranch. The wine is Ulupalakua Red. It's a blend of Merlot, Syrah and Malbec. I forgot to take a photo of the bottle but believe me, this wine is good! I wish...

Yuzu or Lemon and Coconut? For less than what the Island Mist Yuzu Coconut kit and shipping will cost, I think I can make a similar flavored SP using yuzu juice and adding coconut extract for the coconut flavor. Has anyone made a Yuzu version? How much yuzu juice do you recommend? How much...

My all-time favorite Alan Rickman movies are Galaxy Quest and Love Actually.

Started a World Vineyard 1 gallon kit last night--Moscato. If it turns out as tasty as it sounds, I will buy the larger kit.

@geek: I really like the label for your Sangria! Did you print them yourself or were they professionally done? I really like the casual style. @sour_grapes: That is a cute label!

Thanks, Will. The can of concentrate is in the neighborhood of 48 ounces so I will follow your advice and include it as part of the 6 gallons. I appreciate the advice. It confirms what I was thinking. I love this particular fruit blend from Wally World! Last time I used this blend, it...

When to add Riesling concentrate? I have a can of Alexander's Riesling concentrate I plan to use in a batch of DB. The fruits will be white grapes, pineapple, peaches and strawberries. It's a blend called Fruit Salad sold at Walmart. Should I add the concentrate to primary as part of the...

While the bird was roasting Sweetheart and I worked on re-wiring the electrical in the barn and the cabin. Cabin is going to be my playhouse...uh I meant winemaking area and She Shed :)

On the mailing list :-)

Using Fermaid in DB? The store where I will be purchasing my additives only carries Fermaid K and Fermaid O rather than regular Yeast Energizer and Yeast Nutrient. How many teaspoons of Fermaid K and Fermaid O should I use and when for a standard 6 gallon batch of DB? I don't have a metric...

Fruit Salad "test batch" update :-) My 3 gallon test batch is finished and ready to bottle. :db I backsweetened the 3 gallons with 2 1/4 cups of sugar and it is just right for my taste preference. :h I will definitely make a full 6 gallon batch. The Sunrise Farm Fruit Salad blend of peach...

Fresno State University is a good source of information too.

Quite a while later but I am wondering how the flavor on this one turned out for folks? Would you do this kit again?

It hurts to watch.
