No I know I could not taste it, and I know that topping off would be easier. Just never liked using commercial wine to top with. Though, you definitely have me realizing I probably should because it’s temporary. In 12-24 months it won’t be an issue.

Yes I agree if I had a supply built up, I just hate using commercial wine. Once I have a supply I will go back to topping up for sure.

Have you ever got a full 6 gals after letting it clear and racking? Seems after that I’m always at about 5.5 . Then the evaporation of the barrel and topping that up will be more. So I think Glass beads is my only way to use a 6 gal barrel with kit wine

Like was stated, most of the time I see an inflated price it’s usually because shipping is included. You never see those low prices and free shipping, then it would really be a sale. HBO had a real good RJS sale that was 25% off and free shipping a couple months ago. Wish I’d of stocked up even...

Planning BM 4x4, a 6 week EM with perhaps a dose of FT Rouge. Let it settle a few months. Barrel age to taste and let it go to sleep for a while

It was $35 so my price delivered was $155. $4 cheaper then HBO who unfortunately did not have it in stock anyway. The company we are not allowed to mention had it advertised for immediate delivery but like everything else with them, they didn’t. I heard so much good about this kit I’m just glad...

Just ordered from Hearts Homebrew for the first time. I could not find an RJS EP Super Tuscan in stock anywhere and they had 2 of them.

If you guys that have done both had to chose one overall would it be the CC Showcase or RJS EP?

Only seepage I had was around one of the oak bungs. I lowered the level to bottom of the hole and it stopped. The bigger problem is that the barrels which were sold as 5 gal are much closer to 6 gal and I did not have enough to fill either to capacity so had to top with “like wine”. When using...

I have the Lodi Zin 4 weeks into an EM. Used BM 4x4. Hoping for good things.

Thank you.

I agree 100% with you, I’d give my LHBS my business also to help them stay there. My problem is they don’t carry RJS and only carry WE.

I am getting ready to use my new 5gal barrels. I used boiling water inside and on the outside of the heads. I then drained and filled them with cold water. They have been sitting a little over 24 hrs and thankfully no leaks. My question is, the directions I got with the barrels is that they are...

I have found that once shipping is added most places on line are higher then Home Brew Ohio. I been using them for just about all my RJS

Knowing what I know now, I am so sorry I did not buy an AIO sooner. Without question I’d never be without one again. It just makes this hobby so much easier that it’s worth every penny to me.

Probably about 3 hours for me one way, but if it’s worth the trip I have no problem making it.

Do you use this as a grape source Fred? A friend and I are considering making a trip there.

Thank you very much.

I just took the Meglioli Finger Lakes Riesling our of the Primary. It is going to be amazing. If your looking for the best kit, I’d have trouble believing there is any better then this.
