Wife wanted a Blackberry and a Black Cherry for the holidays. So, I purchased Winexpert Island Mist in both flavors. I already know without opening the yeast is probably EC 1118 I would like to change it up a bit and swap out the yeast to start. I’ll also be bumping the ABV up slightly with corn...

I know all about secondary fermentation but the Winexpert instructions states primary 14 days or until .996 or lower. Then, stabilize/degas, next day, day 15 clearing, day 30 done. Unless I’m reading wrong there is no secondary fermentation anymore with the Winexpert kits

Ok, started this kit on the March 23rd 16 days ago. Checked sg this morning and is at .996 which is good but still showing signs of fermentation, bubbles on surface of wine and some slow action in the airlock. Should I just let it ride or proceed to the next step? I’m thinking let it ride.

Well went ahead and added 3 tsp of pectin enzyme to the moscato and a strawberry white merlot that I also started at the same time which also had some raisins in it....to be continued

Just started this kit 4 days ago and added a 15 oz of golden raisins to the primary but forgot to add any pectin enzyme is it to late to add now or can be added at anytime?

Even cheaper now customer appreciation week at Label Peelers just started today I believe it’s $44.60 now plus shipping time to stock up on a few kits

Thanks for the reply jgmann67. It’s been a few days now and it’s clearing up and believe I’ll be able to bottle this weekend

Ok, just finished this kit for the wife the other day and had her taste it, she love it but wanted it a little sweeter. I had about a cup and a half of the f pack left in the fridge and added it to the carboy and as I expected it clouded up. It’s been 2 days and still cloudy should I just let...

Ordering on line LabelPeelers is the way to go.

I have 3 kits going right now. All fermenting at different speeds. The 14 days in the instructions is a round about time frame. Trust your hydrometer and go by that.

I’m really surprised the airlocks didn’t go dry that long. I have to add water every 2-3 months

Also, if activity seems slow during the primary fermentation I take the top off once or twice a day and stir the wine to add oxygen and probably wouldn’t hurt to add some yeast Nutrients either

Sorry posting so late but this weekend Wine on the Lake Feb 23rd Erie Pa. www.wineonthelake.com

George, thanks for the reply and hope your Riesling turns out well. I went ahead and ordered this kit yesterday. Hopefully it gets here by the end of the week for I’m starting a Winexpert Moscato I already have for the wife on Friday. Have a good day.

Boatboy24, how is the Riesling coming along? I’m a huge Riesling fan and was thinking about ordering this kit soon. Being still winter it be a perfect time to start this kit.

I’m not a huge reds fan but do prefer a Old Vine Zin when I do drink one. Think I’m going to have to give this kit a try. Thanks

Just an update, the super clear worked, we bottled, and plan on aging for a couple months. Being a cheaper kit I not worried if it’s all drank by the end of summer. Thank you all for all the input.

Running low on our usual riesling and want to try something new. Thinking about Winexpert Eclipse Riesling kit and looking for some reviews from anyone who has made it. This is supposed to be a premium kit, I believe, and for around $6 a bottle in the end doesn’t seem like a bad deal.

For all the extra money you spend on Zorks, you could buy a nice floor corker. I love mine and wouldn’t be without. Makes corking bottles super fast and super easy.

Buy a floor corker, problem solved. Worth every penny hands down. I can cork 25-30 bottles in minutes and I mean minutes
