@Aeludor Well thus year alone, I went with the professional AIO, headspace eliminators, pet carboy transfer kit and the bottle washer. Plus I have the filter set up. I would say, look at your equipment and decide on what you need. Steve is great for that. If you have all glass carboys then...

Being stuck home has me thinking that a Winemakers Only Fantasy Football league would be fun. Hope to get some variety of people on here to play. Click here to join or message me. Draft details to follow. Team names should be wine related...

@sour_grapes I feel your pain. I also lost my father in law last Friday 8/14/20 to a sudden heart attack. He was only 66 and had just retired from Amtrak after 30 years. Steve was allergic to most things red like cherries so he mostly enjoyed chardonnay. He influenced my winemaking because I...

That would be great. I have recently read about oak and your product looks good. I primarily have used oak spirals and wine stix. Oak spirals are extracted in 6 weeks and are a one time use. Wine stix are 3-4 months for extraction and can be re used if scrubbed down w a sanitized metal brush...

Thanks Mike. Question. What is recommended for a 6 gallon carboy? Use all 3 sticks? For how long? Are they one time use?

@Mike - Next Level Oak where do I buy those oak sticks?

@SusieMo What type of wine are you making? Whats the name of the kit? And welcome to the club.

Went to a friends for a surprise birthday today and we had a pig roast.

Thanks everyone for weing in, $20, is reasonable. I've been looking at label peelers site but haven't pulled the trigger.

Yes I was there from 99-06. Those late night drunks from 2-3 am were nutz! Good times.

Does label peelers charge for shipping wine kits?

@Ajmassa Yes those are the northeast finest steak shops. And I'm sure I served you up some fine cheesesteaks myself. I worked at Frusco's til 2006. I'm glad you called it chinks and not Joe's steaks.

@Ajmassa where you in mayfair when Frusco's Steaks was at Frankford and Wellington?

@Ajmassa what year did you graduate judge?

No I was in Philadelphia for the 04/05 season. Nope! I was still in Philadelphia during that season. Still cant believe that loss but we finally got revenge.

Well I was in the class of 96 at Judge! Moved to Florida after college. Finally got married and after my son was born we moved to the wife's hometown to raise him around family. Fyi watching the Eagles beat the Patriots in the super bowl at the in laws house here was priceless. Lots of crying...

@Ajmassa & @sour_grapes Which school? Are you guys still in NorthEast Philly?

Yes definitely, Wrentham is around the corner. I'm not new to winemaking but I am newer to modern winemaking techniques. I used to do things the old way and had fizzy wine in the bottles. Anyway over the past 5 years I've made a lot of changes and learned new techniques. I even used bentonite...

Hey thanks sour it's great to meet a fellow Philadelphia sports fan. I grew up there and take that pride with me. Still I can't complain about where I'm at now except for the Patriots fans around me. I made the change in the settings.

Hi everyone, I am looking to meet other winemakers in my area and didn't see a location thread. I wanted to talk fresh juice suppliers that you use. I am located in North Attleboro Massachusetts which is near Providence RI. So where is everyone located? Is anyone near me?
