Steve... I have a lot of years of making wine before I can even come close to your expertise on the subject, but I respectfully disagree with you on this one. Still, I may be wrong, but I read on a certain retailer's website (whom I won't mention here because they are not recommended by the...

Let us know which two kits you decide to go with... I want to try a kit with skins too and am curious to see which ones you pick. HB

Will you just sweeten it, or will you be adding some apple flavor also? HB

I don't think you'll learn much from me, OP, but I will tell you what I am doing. Yesterday I added the bentonite slurry... When I took the lid off of the bucket (I am not racking until I am finished fining because I didn't have that much precipitate... I used clear bottled juice. I was...

Pam... what Wade was saying was to make up a new batch of starter, then add some of your stalled wine must to your new starter... maybe a cup, then let it sit for an hour or so, then add another cup and let it sit a bit, and so on... until you have doubled or tripled your volume of the new batch...

That's an interesting setup... I checked it out using Google, and it is a neat system. I have been wanting to set up a draft system here for a while... my wife was a bartender for years, and I was a doorman/bouncer for years. We drink/drank an lot of beer and we need a draft setup. I think I...
