Well my 2 cents ! A few ears ago I only had a few pounds of fresh picked blueberries, Frozen by me, so I added them to a 5 gallon batch of Home Winery Blueberry concentrate wine. Best blueberry wine. I ever made ! Roy

I too spend lots a year ther, about $300. I use one pint of their concentrate to one gallon of water, comes out great. I do use my Vinmetric 300 to check acid and ph. Been using them for 10 years. Roy

I, like dralarms make a lot of Homewinery Wine. But I use one pint of concentrate per gallon. Just made 12 gallons yesterday using 3 of their half gallon jugs. We love it. Roy ps I need to stir !

You can’t dump it. Yet! It’s our fav kit, just started drinking our 2016. It’s awesome, we make this kit every 2 years. Sorry you’re having trouble with it. Roy

I was diagnosed with a serious lung issue last year. ( eosinophilic pneumonia ) Now when working with K Meta I use a face mast that Looks like The N 95 but this one is treated to filter out chemicals Too, purchased them at Lowe’s. Very reasonable. Not sure it’s making a difference but not...

Our recipe is very similar to Dawgs. To keep the math simple we use a pint of Home Winery concentrates to a gallon of must. Home Winery says to use 1/2 gallon ( 4 pints per 5 gallons). We would use 5 pints. We also use a little less Blackberry than Dawg in our blends, we feel it can over power...

Welcome back Tony, I remember you from the “ Old” days. Can’t help you with whites, we only make and enjoy Reds. Roy

Ok, thanks. We two 40 liter and one 23 liter Vadai barrels.

We have 3 barrels so will be watching your study closely. What size barrels are you using? We top off 2X a month now. Roy

Dawg, We just bottled our Black Elderberry. It was almost 2 years old made from Home Winery concentrates. It was 2 pints of Blackberry and 3 pints of Elderberry concentrates per 5 gallons. ( a little stronger than instructions) . It is awesome, smooth, fruity, bold. All our friends love it too. Roy

We do it like Dawg and Gary. But for kits we buy a similar commercial wine to top off with, unless we have a homemade wine to match. Roy

We have been using the All In One forever! It’s great for bottling too. I also made double carboy carts to roll them around. Only lifting empty carboys to clean now. The carboys under the barrels in my logo are on carts. Roy

Yesterday we bottled 5 cases of “Black Blue C” That’s a blend of 25% Blackberry, 25% Blueberry, and 50% Cabernet. It’s awesome! It’s 2 years old and spent one year in the barrel. Concentrates came from Home Winery Supply in Dundee Mi. Roy

We had one of our last 2015 WE Nebbiolo’s last night. It was totally awesome ! With no tweaks, sorry Joe. Our 2018 Neb is still in the carboy waiting on us to bottle, DON’T rush this one. Roy

Ok, Fred thanks. My gut says bake them too. If I don’t have a lot of input the other way I’ll bake them. I’ve sanded them And drilled them so I can attach a fishing line to pull them out easily. Think they will add a lot of oak and save me a lot of Money on spirals !

We have staves from a leaky barrel that only had wine in it for 3 weeks. Want to use them in our neutral barrels for extra oak. They have been dry for 6 months now. Thinking of baking them in oven to sterilize or should we do a K Meta soak or in a bucket with fumes. If you baked yours how long...

I needed labels for my sons wedding. Noon Time did a great job in a short time with a reasonable price. Roy

Our winery is/was our4th bedroom. So I took the closet and made it the cleaning station. That’s a std plastic laundry tub in the middle. The back wall backs up to the garage, so I got the H & C water off the hot water heater. Had to be creative for the drain, 2” pvc along the garage wall then...

We have been using tap water for over 13 years, in two different states. But there is never a chlorine smell or taste in the water. I also fill,the bucket with the faucet set to spray to aerate it a little. Roy

I have two 40 L barrels that are coming up on being neutral, and a 23L fully neutral barrel. The 23 L barrel is for our kits. I tie some fishing line onto an oak spiral and drop it into the barrel, with a silicone bung it’s very easy to do. We change out the spiral every 3 months or so. Roy
