I am on the river across from Marietta Ohio.

Scooter68 my plan was to keep an eye on it with my hydrometer to know when I want to go to stage two. I am also planning on aging it in a carboy for at least nine months. I will rack it to a fresh carboy every three months and add 1/4 tsp of meta every time I rack. From what I have been reading...

I found a local winery. They don’t sell their own grapes but can get me buckets of fresh juice from a bordering state. I was told around $120 for a five gallon bucket to make Cab Sauvignon. It is just the juice and no skins or fruit. Does that sound good or bad.

Reading the kit directions all the way through. Step one is fermentation, that is where I am at. It says step two is stabilizing and degassing in 14 days. I will be checking it with the hydrometer after a week. Step three is clearing on day 15. Step four is polishing rack and aging. It says to...

When I filled it to six gallons I started at 1.094.

You are correct. It was 1.120. I just went out and looked at the hydrometer.

This is the picture that was supposed to be in the first post.

I already reported it to them and asked them to delete the other one.

Well I started today. I cleaned and sanitized everything. Followed all of the steps for day one. It was a 10L kit. I read the post here about making cheap wine better and also watched YouTube videos on it. I filled it up to five gallons and checked it with the hydrometer and it was 1200. That...

Where do you get grapes from if there are not any local?

I can guarantee I will be asking a lot of questions. I joined a different forum first and it takes days to get an answer if I get one at all. Everybody here is so friendly and quick to answer and help. Very happy I found this forum. Best one out there that I have found. I got my kit. I will...

Yes we drove through there in August and it was in bad shape. The main road through down town was still closed.

Wow it sounds like I messed up starting with a kit.

Great area. One of my cousins used to own a Bed and Breakfast on SGI.

Anybody looking for one of these Amazon has them for $59.

That is Panama City Beach, Florida. We went down for a week in August and was able the connect with Aunts and Cousins that I haven’t seen in 40 years. My family live in Apalachicola and Carrabelle. We would love to live there.

I have been watching videos on YouTube. Tim Vandergrift and one other. Both of them stirred everything in very good except the yeast. They both poured the yeast on top and left it. Do you not stir in the yeast?

Thanks for the heads up Rocky. I was thinking about canceling it but then thought for my first time I will try the cheaper kit. If I mess it up I would rather lose $69 instead of $120. I will definitely remember that when I buy the next kit.

The kit is ordered. I should be fermenting within a week. I bought a Wine Expert Cabernet Sauvignon.

Do you have to lower the PH before you add it?
