I just ordered this kit from Label Peelers, anybody else order it yet? Thinking of adding Brewers Best Rum Oak Chips to it. Any thoughts on adding wood or anything else that might enhance the flavors?

At this point, cool it to 68-70 and pitch the yeast. You’ll probably be fine. EC 1118 yeast is a beast of a yeast and it’ll work out. You got some bad info about adding that juice, maybe some people do that and that’s fine but most of us don’t.

Wine taste awful right after fermentation, you’ll need to rack that wine off the lees(the junk sitting on the bottom), let it sit a few weeks to let clear, rack again to another carboy, add potassium sorbate or sulphite to kill the yeast and then back sweeten with a sugar syrup.

You really Don’t want to add juices with potassium metasulphite in them, next time go to the frozen concentrate juice aisle at your grocery store and get a couple cans of frozen grape juice concentrate there. Also what I do is I go to the juice aisle and you can buy the 100% juice, no...

I had a leaky bottling wand and didn’t notice it one time, slightly overfilled my bottles and the corks wouldn’t go all the way down until i poured a little wine out.

I used Orchard Frozen Concentrate to make a wine and it turned out great . Took 3rd place at state fair last week in its category. It was Concord Grape though.

The Italian Aramone is a bigger more flavorful wine than the Forza. The Forza is very good but the Aramone taste better in my opinion.

I just tasted my RJS Italian Aramone at the 6 month mark and it’s already getting good. Can’t wait to try it again at the year mark and see how it’s progressed. Excellent kit.

Island Mist and Orchard Breezin make very good sweet fruity wine kits that are easy to make and ready in 1-2 months to drink. The wine expert Eclipse and RJS Premier are the top of the line kits and need a good 1-2 years to mature. The wine kits in between these 2 are normally pretty tasty at...

You can shoot CO2 into the carboy and then seal it. CO2 should form a layer over the beer and protect it.

I got mine fermenting now.

The only thing I could get the BOGO to work on was the Cider Kits. BOGO won’t work on their Maps wine kits which is basically all the wine kits. 2 cider kits for $68 includes shipping though is a good deal.

You can google “all juice buckets” if you want 100% wine grape juice for wine, I’ve never made them before though. I know theres another place Walkers All Juice that sells 100% wine juice in buckets. I always use Label Peelers for Eclipse Kits and Southern Homebrew in florida for my RJS Premiere...

For sweet fruity wines I make the Island Mist kits, I add a 4-5 pound bag of sugar to primary to up the alcohol % and they turn out great for a $60 kit. For red and whites I make the Winexpert Eclipse Kits or RJS Premiere Kits. They all have turned out great,get them from Label Peelers for...

THankYou, Island mist makes a great cherry wine kit if you ever want to try a white chocolate cherry. Think these might be my next 2 kits.

Thank You for that information, especially on the chocolate. Weird chocolate syrup would be grainy?? Maybe I’ll do cocoa nibs for cherry and strawberry I bought a chocolate cherry dessert wine kit and it is awesome. Making the chocolate/raspberry wine kit now. Just looking for something that’s...

You buy that $9.95 bottle of white chocolate from Monin? Making sure I’m buying the right thing. Sounds like a great idea. Thinking of getting the chocolate and adding it too a strawberry kit and cherry kit.

I made this kit last year, I’m really surprised on how good it taste.

In our state fair you have to write if the wine is Grape and what kind or you have to write concentrate meaning Kit. I don’t think any of the concentrates come in 1st place.

I always thought Mead was put into category with beer competitions. ‍♂️
