    Sulfites... that was my first mistake... Don't add to much and Sodium is for cleaning Potassium is what you put in the wine. That was a difficult lesson learned...Edited by: Steve

    Buon Vino Mini-Jet

    It looks like it bightened (polished) it up pretty good to me... I have used mine on 3 batches so far, a pinot grigio which did not really need it, it was a little brighter when I was done. Two scratch wines looked clear but they were dark so it was hard to tell but, there was a good bit of goo...

    Spiced Banana Mango

    I used 3 sticks in my apple while it was clearing and then 1 after it was clear. I gave it a slight hint of cinnamon but, not as much asI expected. I guess adding it during fermentation would really break it down and get the flavor in there though.

    WineXpert Adding sugar to increase alcohol

    earl, I according to my log I did not add any yeast nutrient. I just added the 10 cups of sugar that I dissolved in water. This was only my second kit but, I am much happier with the way this one turned out than my first... I just bottled it on 12/23 and have already had 3 bottles of it...

    Fermentation Question

    With the few scratch kits I have done, I did not rack off the lees until after fermentation was complete and I am letting it clear. Not sure what others do but, I haven;t heard of anyone racking it off while it is still fermenting.

    Your LAST bottle?

    I have started and hope to continue putting a case back in the box as Vaughn does. This will hopefully make it last longer and let it age properly before drinking. Not sure if I will save the last bottle or not...

    Revisions to starter packages

    George, I am with smurfe on this one. It is a great offer but, if the product worked fine and I just want to upgrade, I would not expect you or anyone to take it back unless it is defective. I am so bad about returning things most of the time I won't even take it back if it is...

    FG 0.989 w/F pack 1.008 12.6% ABV. I love seeing go from cloudy to clear, especially when I have a picture to compare it.

    WineXpert Adding sugar to increase alcohol

    I also added a couple cinnamon sticks in while it was clearing and then I put another small on in the 5 gal while I am waiting to bottle. Maybe it will taste like an apple pie...
