She's a beaut Clark!! Tavola Chardonnay at day 8 of clearing..

For me, I agree completely! White wine kits = no kit taste Red wine kits (other than FWK) = kit taste Now, some on this forum say they have never tasted "kit taste", I however do on most kits that are not FWK. I will share this with you as a validation on how much I find the FWK red kits to be...

@vtoddw I guarantee you that if you were to try a FWK, you would absolutely change your mind. I was about to stop using kits as well and only use frozen must, then FWK came along and totally changed my mind.

I keep mine at room temp (69-72 F) on reds and have never had a bad ferment

Sealing in the primary (bucket) for the full 15 days ensures a complete ferment. I had one go all the way to .992 recently. It also allows skin contact for a longer period which really enhances the wine imo. In fact, I leave it sit in my bucket until day 30, for a little EM 😉. Personally, I...

My reco is to ask LP to ship them via UPS. FedEx is a train wreck on the West Coast

My Riesling And Chardonnay are now 1 week into clearing and are already quite clear, I suspect they will be bottle ready within another week or two

So I am curious, has anyone submitted a FWK in any competitions yet? @Matteo_Lahm is offering a free kit to anyone who wins a medal with one of his products...

@vezePilot I would highly encourage you to try a FWK Tavola Cab, for the same price it produces a far superior wine IMO

It makes you wonder if the kits are 100% Carmenere or a blend 🤷‍♂️

I believe FWK does include acid blend in the packet A

I like Malbec too, but am a bit surprised how much this forum likes it, specifically over a few other varietals.

I don't think it's that much different, it's just that it's a change in process from the original product launch. The wine conditioner is just an RTU commercial F PAC

I believe my Frutta said to add one of the conditioners at Stabilizing and then at bottling, add the other one to taste. I used 1 2/3's in total.

I got mine from WineGrapesDirect.com (2021 Rattlesnake Hills WA state 👍)

Love me some Cab Franc!! I have 3 gallons from a frozen must that just finished MLF and is now in bulk aging, cant wait;)

I had to dump my WE Twisted Pina Colada down the drain. No idea what happened but at bottling time it was AWFUL

I make the Trio White frequently for my wife as it's her favorite and I always make it to the exact directions. Personally, I would add the packet to the white, but not the red (I prefer dry reds)

Matteo is a wine lover and ambassador to the craft as much as a corporate executive, he will always lean to the side of customer service. Sometimes he is at the mercy of the LP capabilities and their attention to detail. In the end, he makes up for their faults! For that reason, buy FWK's and...

Looks like the Forte Super Tuscan is out of stock now too 😞
