It’s not rocket science, I pour the f-pack into a container add a little at a time, stir, taste, add more if needed. At a half cup at a time I doubt you’ll over shoot your taste just my .02 cents

Appreciate all the comments and suggestions. The wine was at .996 when I degassed and stabilized. The Manufacturer is sending me Super-kleer and should be here today. I plan on racking into a bucket, re-degassing, and adding the Super-Kleer then rack back into a clean carboy. Hopefully she...

Yes, I emailed the manufacturer and they said they stand behind their products and will replace if needed. I was just hoping there was a fix to possibly save the batch. I planned to let it sit for awhile an see what happens

I degassed before I added the clearing agents but will try again and let it sit and see what happens. I have plenty of other bottled wine and plenty of time. Thanks for the replies

Made a kit that that looked good until I added the clearifing pack now the Merlot looks like purple muddy water a week and a half after adding. The one packet was a little milky and my buddy at a beer and wine shop said I probably had a out of date bad pack and it’s probably not going to clear...

Thanks for the quick responses. I haven’t any problem waiting 1-3 months at least to open the first bottle. I got 25 bottles out of 5 gallons and plan on saving at least 3-6 bottles for years to see how they turn out with aging

So we now have bottled wine. Just a couple questions Added K-Meta 1/4 tsp and Sorbate 2 1/2 tsp to a 5 gallon batch then back sweetened with simple syrup. waited 2 weeks then bottled. How long should you leave the bottles standing up, before lying on their sides? Used LD Carlson corks. Can...

I would assume they ship just about anywhere. One call to the number on their website and I’m sure they’ll answer any questions you have. They also have all the juices they have made into wine so you can taste test before you buy. Pretty cool, I know I’ll be buying from them again this fall.

It is a great place. I only live an hour from and this last fall drove up on opening day. I bought 5 gallons each of Riesling, Merlot, and Isabella Blackberry. Next year planning on buying much more. They have a huge tap room of grape juice and you buy whatever you want and their hot packs are...

Anyone else use evermine? Looks like a great site for labels.

My process for taking off even the most stubborn labels is to easy and with very little effort. First, fill you bottle with hot tap water and let sit for 10-15 mins, then with a good quality vegetable peeler (aka potato peeler) scrape off the label, then if there is any glue residue, spray with...

Fresh Venison back straps marinated then sautéed in a garlic butter wine sauce....bam

I now have my first 2 wine kits coming and should be here next week. I’m not totally new to wine making but everything I’ve ever made was from fresh juice. They are Master Vintners Tropical Bliss Green Apple Reisling and Raspberry Merlot both in a 6 gallon batch. The reviews seemed great and...

Thank you guys for the help

Can acid levels be adjusted months after fermentation and before bottling or can this only be done before fermentation? I have a Apple and Pear (currently bulk aging) I never checked the acid levels on and curious if they are at the suggested level before bottling.

Racked to secondary a couple days ago and the wine was quite yellow, cloudy and the yeast (ec-1118) was still working away. Taste tested and think its going to be a winner. Checked today and the activity in the airlock has slowed down considerably. Thinking it could probably be finished some...

Very peachy like fresh squeezed peaches

Being only 17% juice with pulp according to the bottle, do you see the need for a Pectic enzyme?

Stopped at the store for some Simply Apple juice that I use for BBQ and seen Simply Peach juice. First thought was that sounds like a good wine. Ingredients, Filtered water, peach juice, cane sugar, lemon juice, peach puree, and natural flavors and has been pasteurized. So I bought a gallon to...
