I currently make wine during the harvest season. I’ve tried kits in the past as well . I’m looking to try frozen must . Has anyone used grapesforwine.com and grapemust.com ? I believe they are the same company .

Thank you for the response . I do see a great deal of Frontenac . I’ll just start looking at Cold Hardy grapes .

I'm looking to start a few grapevines next year. Do any Italian Reds handle the cold weather well ? I would eventually love to make 1-2 gallons of wine from them.

I went to labelpeelers and when I click any juice pail it says it can’t be shipped . In store pickup only. Should I only be looking at the Finer Wine kits ?

What sites are being used to preorder ?

I have about 10 Carboys I haven’t used in about 6 years . I’ve read past posts and it seems like PBW is used to wash . KMeta is used to sanitize . I plan on using the PBW first followed by Kmeta +Citric Acid 1.What’s the contact time with PBW and do I need to rinse ? 2 . After the PBW I’ll...

Ok I just used my Vinmetrica I have an Apple Wine 3 gallons, with a PH of 3.9 and free S02 level of 40ppm. Which calc which would be best to tell me how much So2 to add? From what I'm reading I will need 100ppm? and have 40 so I will need 60? Sorry guys I'm a bit confused on how to use...

Thanks!! This forum is a huge wealth of information.

With other wines such as Mead,Apple Wine,Blueberry,Plum should I just follow the white wine recommendation for S02 additions?

Thanks guys,, I actually didn't know the page was filled with different calculators towards the bottom In a few days I'll be getting my Vinmetrica and will be asking some more questions ...

I think ibglowin hit it guys. The others tell you what you need (s02) given the levels you already have (S02). The relation between what is needed for proper s02 additions is related to PH please correct me if I'm wrong. The calculator which says desired molecular S02... Wouldn't this what...
