Bad start to the New Year Jim but good for you for looking at the glass 1/2 full and not having the amount of damage you could've.

I'm around the 500 mark :dg

In your kit instructions it will probably show you to rack in 6-8 days and then again at day 20. That is when they are suggesting your wine is now dry.You can start checking the SG about day 12 and when you go 3 consecutive days at the same you should be done ferment. Then it's time to degas...

Amanda this is amazing! You have a talent!!

Congrats mgmarty !

Hi razelegendz.Welcome to the forum!

The kits count the racks as time. So if it says 4 weeks -that's not how long it takes to ferment but how long, or soon ,until you can bottle. My opinion is , you don't want to ferment too quickly or you lose some of the flavors. If you're fermenting quick, check your temp. it might be too high...

Congratulations! We're going into our 3rd year and are loving it! Now you can enjoy all those things you wanted to do but never had time for. I wish you Health and Happiness on your new adventure!!

E.P has my vote. Haven't made a bad one yet. If you are not sweetening I would definitely say not to use the sorbate that's included in kits. I just toss that lil additive aside (except for some of the whites that have a fruit pak that's to be added in the secondary)

Sulphites don't stop fermentation. I wouldn't go too long without adding.Your wine will continue to ferment .I always rack my kits to secondary with metabisulfite and then let continue to ferment.

Also love your name! Laura Mars was a Faye Dunaway movie back in the 70's about a photographer. I think it was called The Eyes of Laura Mars or something like that

Looks good! It is a good tasting wine. Definitely can taste the candies.Just don't age it too long!

I"m also with everyone with RJS Super Tuscan Do you make it as an early Red? The Tuscan is one of my longest sitting. I don't even bottle until 12 months

Hi jgnin Welcome to the forum! I moved here to BC years ago from Oromocto NB I agree with John on keeping accurate records! I've made plenty of kits and am also a big fan of Dry reds.When I 1st started making kits I checked the SG after the 1st 5 days then every other day until it got to where...

something to trump all this..had some oral surgery again this morning. Hopefully this fixes all!

well, I think regardless of how you voted..being on this site we know you have at least the occasional drink ;) so I say" Everyone raise a glass and toast that it's finally over and now to see what the future holds".

OMG! I think I had that dress!!:)

visiting kids this past week in the lower mainland. Grandbaby trick or treating

Did you add sorbate before adding the Newman's juice? If not your yeast is now fermenting the sugars in the juice.I would just let it go dry again.It will bring the abv a little higher depending on how much juice you added at top up

Saw this today and thought I'd share http://winecondoms.com/
