yes, I bought one for less than third of price on Thursday :-)

How is the mango-pineaple combo? lm currently doing 1 gal of each separate. Im also doing a mix of soursop-grap. This has the best aroma so far. I cant stop myself from sniffing at the airlock. Its still in primary.

In my short experience on this hobbie either doing wines or researching. I came to realize grapes are most popular for wine for several reasons that today we can manipulate/modify (Ph, sugar content, taste, etc) in other fruits. are grapes still your favorite? if not, what is it?

It gets even scarier when you realize that yeast give different flavors lol

I think I had this issue in two batches. I suspected the issue was the sugar. Its there a procedure on how to step feed? I have read bit and pieces but I don't see to find the right info. Btw, the reason for too much sugar is that some juices are very low in sugar and when you add the sugar...

Not only I cant prepare much but I don't see the need to drink the same wine for long time if I do a big batch. At this stage, I'm still trying different fruits to see what I like to keep doing. It's weird as there are so many types of grapes and such. Now, imagine if you decide to try...

Do you know if you can do partials with the kits after you open them? I can't do more than 6L at any given time.

Definitely a big thanks. They have very good prices. Some stuff produces 23 L for $60. Which is not bad price. This definitely helps in estimating budget and selecting where to buy.

I got 2.5 L of juice. I will get a hydrometer to get a reading on this. However, assuming I did not lose much sugar. It could have a density of 208/L. Since I added 2.5cups of sugar. Not counting sugar already on grapes 2.5x 208g/2.5 L= 208g/L. PA= 9.9%

I figured but after watching diferent methods I did not want to take any risks with patogens either. I did a taste test and it has a good flavor.

Well, I decided to boil them to extract the juice. After I took all the steams I had 1kg. Aproximately (7.69 cups). I followed the steps on this video to extract the juice by boiling and adding sugar. They came up with a very dark red color. I will post a pic tomorrow after process is done.

Hey guys, I just realized I had a bunch of grapes that I did not pick up last season and I just picked them up from the vines. 2kg. The variety is Valiant They seem frozen, would they still be good?

One of them is very good. The thing is I should had kept going with him but I decided to visit other two as Im new and you dont know best or good unless you try it out. However, not going to the other two anymote

For some reason it annoys me the fact people have time to add 3 dots on a sentence lol

Hi Guys, I'm new on this hobby. Totally enjoying it. Good to have something you can enjoy with your significant other. I've been receiving good advice here. However, among my other hobbies, this is the one with worst experience with sellers. I'm assuming I'm just having bad luck. 1) Amazon vs...

Edmontonian here. Where do guys get the juice or fruits you use?

So I recently got a 3 gal fast fermeter. So far it seems very handy. I have some questions about the yeast collection. 1) When I collect the yeast from the bottom at the end of primary fermentation. I assume there should be anough yeast to start anothet 3 gal batch. However, is there more...

thanks for the answers

Why is a hydrometer needed if I already know the sugar content in the juice? Also, a good yeast like EC-1118 used as per nufacturer guidelines should complete the primary fermentation in two weeks or less?

Hi Guys, I'm new into wine making. I just finished my second batch. I have couple questions: 1) I want to make wine exclusively from juice and/ or concentrate. What are the cheapest options? I have started from Welch and other cheap brands of juice you get in bottles. I'm curious if there are...
