Will the Slurry from a Welch's Concord 6 gallon batch work?

How's the wine coming and looking?

Made a gallon Batch of this before and everyone loved it. Need to find time to make some more...

How did this turn out? Got any pics of the finished product?

Anyone ever tried oaking Niagara or Concord wines? Just wondering how it would turn out....

I'm getting ready to make a couple batches of Concord from Welch's 100% Frozen Juice Concentrate. I plan to give a lot of bottles away this Christmas. I think it makes very good wine and doesn't need to age long. You could do the white Grape and keep it dry, I hear it is quite nice...and...

Yep, added right before bottling.

I just bottled a Pinot Noir that I had in the carboy for almost 2 years! Hadn't added any sulfite to it since. Put in the clearing agents a week ago and bottled last night! Tastes awesome! So give it a try, might be the best wine you've ever made!

Okay, so I was planning on bulk aging this wine for a year, before I bottled it. However, last summer I had to have back surgery. Not fun! All wine making came to a stop. Well, I FINALLY bottled this wine last night. A-MAZ-ING! Tastes great! One of the best wine's I've made so far. Just had...

The Disposal Lives!l Just back from the local HW Store with a Disposal Key. Went back and forth a couple times. Plugged it in and flipped the switch to hear the lovely sound of the disposal!!!!

Long story short, I dumped about 1/2 cup of sanitizing solution into my wine! I poured a about a 1/2 cup of sanitizing solution into a 2-cup measuring cup for sanitizing some equipment. I prepared the k-meta and Potasium Sorbate in a 4-cup measuring cup. After Stirring in the F-pack and...

How do you recommend moving them? Do you need to get a handle, or just be care and not bear hug the jug?

Has anyone did any bulk aging in them?

Who uses them? Love them? Hate them? I just got one, but won't be using it for a month or so. Just was wondering everyone's thoughts about them. Edited by: ithink2020

I racked and degassed the Pinot tonight. Lost my kitchen sink's disposal unit in the process. WARNING: DO NOT PUT OAK CHIPS DOWN YOUR SINK!!!! I wasn't thinking and dumped the lees, chips included, in to the sink. It took me a second to figure out the sound. Well, now it doesn't work. It just...

I'm going to be racking the Pinot tonight and then letting it sit for at least 4 months. I don't have an extra Carboy, so I'm going to rack it into a clean Fermenting bucket, then back into the Carboy after I clean it. The instructions say not to add the clearing agents, until 8-10 days before...

Mine Fermented faster than I thought it would also. I checked the SG Sat and Sunday and it was at 0.991 both days. It has only been on the oak for 4 days, so I'm going to leave it until Tuesday or Wed. My kit did not come with any yeast nutrient either. I didn't add any in, but it appears to...

About the G. A. Resiling. It is an IM Kit and it has a large F-Pack that needs to be added later. I was concerned until my wife reminded me about the f-pack. I'm really not concerned. The starting SG was right where it was suppose to be when I started.

Here is a photo a a 6 gallon and some 1 gallon jugs with the paper sack covers:

Ok, I just got done racking my Pinot (and Gr. Apple Resiling) into their carboys. The SG of the Pinot was 1.010 on the line. I made sure to get all of the sediment. I racked it up to the shoulder of the carboy, then put the rest into a gallon jug for topping off later. I was shocked at how...
