Winexpert Eclipse Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel Winemaking Kit Life got in the way and haven't been able to find the resources or time to make another kit. Maybe this will kick start the hobby again. :h

I highly recommend using a scale to weigh out the sugar, since dry ingredients measured in cups with vary in weight. However from what I can find online, it looks like 1 pound of granulated sugar is approx. 2-2.5 cups. It all depends on the type, brand of the sugar you use and where you find...

I don't mind at all! Glad it is helpful! Matt

Sorry it has taken a long time to reply, not been making wine in a while. No room in the house, plus with 2 little kids, no time... 1. "Adj SG" - I will sometimes make wine from real grapes and other fruit. I use "Starting SG" for measuring how much sugar is in the must. If it is lower...

It just has an off taste to it. The lemon is there, but something else just doesn't seem right...hard to explain. Maybe it's the concord/lemon mix or maybe just an aquied taste...we'll see. We might go get some strawberry concentrate and add that to it. See if the strawberry/lemon flavor takes...

I sweetened it, not sure if I like it too much... We'll see what I think at bottling time.

Torch404, Do you have the recipes that you used for your Green Tea Wines? Thanks, Matt UPDATE: Nevermind! Sorry I just saw you said you didn't take any notes. Maybe I should read a little better! :P

How much Acid blend did you use? Do you have the recipe? Thanks, Matt

Yeah, I like the idea of the Google docs, because I can review/update the files from any PC and even my phone if need be! Not that I will be updating the files away from home. But if I need to refer to them some where, now I can do that anywhere. Also, I keep misplacing my sheets. So when I...

I created a template of the wine making log I use in Google docs. Just wanted to share, in case there are other Google docs users out there: Click Here to see Template Matt

Go to your favorite bar and ask the bartender if they would save some bottles for you. Some have had good luck with this, esp. if you go to that bar often! Just make sure the are non-screw top bottles! To my knoweldge, you have to make your own. Unless someone else knows of a place...then...

By the way, start the above Juice wine first, then you can use the Slurry from it to start the Skeeter Pee! :D
