"The price of wine is expected to drop to its lowest levels in five years thanks, in part, to a surplus of California grapes. Combined with a decreased demand for wine, drinkers can expect to get better value for every drop they drink this year. The cheaper prices may even last up to three...

They are close to the WE distributor. They don't have to stock it, just pick it up when someone orders it. That's why they tell store pickups not to show up until notified. That's how can afford to have the prices they do. Markup on WE kits is pretty huge. I've found the wholesale pricing...

As a former appliance repair person that tried to get a decent used refrigeration unit off of Craig's list, let me just say I now refer to it as 'Craig's Liars' and have stopped even looking at that as a resource for ANYTHING. Most units had Freon leaks and the sellers knew it and were trying...

I'm getting no shipping discount on just the bottles. :( I can get carboys for less than that locally)

OK. You DID buy at that price? You went through the checkout and got 'free shipping'? At what point did they say it would be free?

This is what I see. Free ground shipping on orders over $149. No coupon code needed. Discounts shown during checkout. Ah. I see now. The don't do the disclaimer until after you start the checkout process. Devious.

Much depends on what must you are using if for and what the yeast requires in terms of the nutrients it needs. Buying the commercial stuff means you are covered for a range of musts and yeasts. Some yeasts do just fine in certain musts with no need to add anything.

Surprised this happened yesterday and I don't see it on the forum. Got buckets? ;) (Obviously this belongs in the beginners forum because a seasoned pro wouldn't make this mistake.) A Northern California river has glistening red streaks of cabernet sauvignon coursing through its waters after...

I've only done 2 WE kits but the box comes with a cutout so you can insert the spigot for emptying the bladder so it is considered an integral part of the process.

Bottle related so not a total hijack. I've been looking for amber because they are supposedly superior for long term storage. Why aren't they more popular? I know beer vendors, where light skunks beer, sell in green because of sales. :(

Always a bad idea to put an email address on the web. Bots come sites like this for them. Best to send a PM. That's why you will often just see "PM sent" in forums like this. You can still edit your post.

What temps?

There was some clarification a while back. "Intern" was widely abused. They are there to learn, not provide anything of value to the company. When I said 'hangout', that is what I meant. Just observe and ask questions. No running for coffee, picking up laundry, etc. ;) However, it sounds...

Would they let you hang around if you managed to get some vacation days at the right time/times?

I got driven off the sister site by the 'your beer is ruined before you made it because of oxidation' folks. Apparently I'm not of the nobles obliged folks of superior pallet. Good think. I enjoy my aged stouts and quads. :D

Seems wasteful if you have to open a new bottle for every glass.

There are AC units made with exhaust that are integral to the design. Make sure you know where the air comes into the condenser and where it exits if you do your own exhaust and keep it as short as possible.

It will pretty much degas to the warmest temperature it was at. In priming beer bottles we take temperature into account to adjust the priming sugar amount. That said, if this is "the first 3 month waiting time" then what's the rush. The garage will warm up at some point?

Most produce is pretty tasteless today. One reason I've heard is they over fertilize to maximize yields. Bigger fruit but the flavors aren't as concentrated. Wine grapes shouldn't be picked for yield but for the flavor profiles based on sugar content, pH, acids, etc. Without knowing what...
