My FW Blackberry ABV came in at 11.82% without chaptalizing. If you are a fan of Country wines, this one is a real winner.

Try this link. https://www.rareseeds.com/ground-cherry-aunt-molly-s There is an older variety but this one seemed to grow bigger and better.

This should be an interesting combination. I can't wait to see how it turns out! I've got a bunch of ground cherries in the freezer I have yet to decide how to use.

Here's what I did. If you want a lighter tasting wine, cut back on the rhubarb. @GreginND has put his recipe for a lighter version on this site. He is a commercial winemaker. Rhubarb Wine Recipe Used 3-25-22 35# of frozen rhubarb (figure 9.72#/gallon)—> 3.6gallons finished wine or 18 bottles...

"Ummm, no." @jswordy That is what I know. Wrong breed. We raised cattle growing up. :)

Hand raised . . . I know, I know I know.

I learned about FermCalc on this site. They just put it on the App Store recently so I downloaded it instead of going to their website. Plus it's free. Of course always check with your hydrometer to confirm.

6 months is a bit early for the Private Reserve reds. I generally don't expect much from until at least the 9 month mark and prefer 12 months and longer. Whites on the other hand just taste good sooner.

Love the RJS Amarone but there are many choices.

No problem. Thanks for all you do for the site.

Hi @TxBrew. I received your emailed special offer to renew but am having trouble with the link. I appreciate your help.

To me it looks like it should have a red line through it. 😉

Looks interesting, Joe. I'll have to try it once I get through my backlog.

Thanks @winemaker81 for not making me google it.

I like these kits and find them fun ones to tweak. I've done the Merlot, Malbec, Zinf Blush, Tempranillo, Washington State Yakima Red Blend (all of which were the medium bodied 11.5%. I also did the heavy bodied Corvina. These have all produced very easy drinkers; not in the same league (in my...

Do you mean ABC Crafted Series I assume?
