Anybody know the cheapest online site to buy these???

I have a 5 gallon bourbon barrel that that I’ve used for a Imperial Stout beer and currently a BarleyWine beer. When I siphon off the BarleyWine Beer could I sulfite the barrel and use it for wine??? I’m clueless on putting wine in a barrel. Appreciate any input you or anybody else may have.

So Is Mosti Mondale equivalent or better than Eclipse or RJS Premiere? I’ve never heard of Mondale until today, well I haven’t heard of Fine Vines either. I’ve always used Label Peelers

Man this place Fine Vines has good prices, thanks for the info.

Congrats. Wishing you much success.

I think I get you, sounds like you got some fruit and want to try to make wine experimentally? Wing It? If this is the case I’d use 4-6 pounds of fruit and probably 2-3 pounds of sugar for a 1 gallon batch. Make sure your using good clean water and a clean jug and bottles. Boiling water will...

I made it a few months ago. It’s very good and very different. Has the taste of coconut up front and a nice citrus taste on the back end. It’s worth the buy.

I’ve made quite a few of the island mist kits, Blackberry, Cherry, Apple, Peach, Coconut, Blueberry and a few others that I can’t remember. They all taste very good and are true to the flavor that is on the box. If you like Apples make the apple, if you like peaches make the Peach. I normally...

I’ve made a lot extract stouts. You can add 3-4 ounces of medium roasted smoked cubes to 3 cups of bourbon let sit for a week, then throw it all in at secondary for another 2 weeks then keg. You could add a pot of Cold Coffee to it and 2-3 Vanilla beans also. This makes a real tasty brew.

We have a small county recycling center near my house. They have a big dumpster of glass bottles and wine bottles. Problem is you have to clean them and get dirty.

Nice read, thank you. I’ve only been into wine making for 2 years now, all kits but I really enjoy it and I think my wine kits taste better than Most store bought wines. I do tweak them a little. Congrats on your success and may it continue.

Today I transferred my Island Mist Peach Kit into secondary and noticed I only had 5 gallons of wine instead of 6 gallons. Apparently I forgot to add the extra jug of spring water. I decided to boil a gallon of water, cool it to 70 degrees and add it to secondary with the 5 gallons of peach...

I didn’t know you could recork wine???? That’s a option????

I made the Eclipse Cabernet 9 months ago and The Eclipse Pinot Noir 6 months ago. I used the size 8 cork and am now reading I should have used the size 9 cork if I plan on storing 2 years +. Is this something I should worry about?? Wondering if I should go ahead and maybe Wax the tops of the...

This isn't much help to you but I just received the Eclipse Riesling in the mail. It's suppose to be a dry Riesling. It had great reviews online. I'm going to make mine sometime this week.

Well last night I went to transfer the wine Into another carboy and add the K-Meta but when I picked up the carboy almost half of the stuff on top sank to the bottom so maybe it was the CO2 lifting up floaties?? Anyhow it got mixed into the wine making it cloudy so now I'm letting it sit another...

Would potassium metabisulphite work?

Yes, it was .098 so it was done fermenting.

It's like a tiny layer of brownish bubbles on top of the wine. Almost like brownish beer Krausen. Maybe it is just floating dead yeast.
