I can only find a certain varietal in a 10 liter kit from Vinifera Noble. I have only done 16+ liter kits so far. Anyone with experience using 10 liter kits have any thoughts? This will be a cab franc. Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

What is the reason for adding the pot meta to a bit of water first. Won't it dissolve anyway once it is in the must? Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

I have used the allinone pump for about a year now. I have zero mechanical ability and zero experience with wine pumps, or pumps of any kind for that matter, but I was easily able to do what little assembly is needed and set it up to use with the assistance of the videos on the web site, it is...

Can anyone suggest a Cab Franc kit or juice bucket or concentrate? Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

The very first time I made pear I didn't have a press and followed Jack Keller's recipe. I used a bit of apple juice and I went to the store and got a couple of mangos primarily to add some tannin. I still think that was my best batch so far. Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

I have had the allinone for about a year now. I am very happy with it. The owner is very available in case you have any questions. I have found a lot more benefits to it than just easing the load on your back lifting carboys. Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

I have just gotten a bench corker finally after 3 years of using a hand corker and it is time to get some corks in bulk. So my dilemma is #8 vs #9 and straight vs. tapered. Any opinions? Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

I am wondering if there would be a difference in the taste of pear wine if one uses a press to just get juice vs. just cutting them up and putting any resulting juice and the cut up pears (and maybe a bit of water) into a fermentation bag? I am assuming that sugar would be added as needed to...

I have the system and I think it is great. I am going to use it for the first time on a kit and I am wondering if I can skip the 2 minute manual stirring that are on kit instructions. So, I would be using the allinone twice: I used gravity first to transfer from the primary container to a...

Anyone know if there's any petite verdot grapes or juice from Missouri that will be available this year? Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

I tried my first kit with skins last week and I have another one waiting to start. The instructions said to rack at 7 days and that the sg should be below 1.010 by then. After 5 days my sg got to 1.001 so I was getting concerned and went ahead and racked. Now I am wondering if I should have...

I got a white merlot kit from WE that I started. The juice sure doesn't look white, or even rose. Has anyone finished one of these yet? Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

Nice thing about Star San as a sanitizer is that you don't have to worry about rinsing afterwards. Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

I thought the same thing after I made a Pinot kit. I think it is just the nature of the beast. Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

All of my kits started fermentation within 24 hours. I'd try another packet of yeast ASAP. Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

And as for the raisins, was a hydrometer reading taken before adding them? No I didn't take a hydrometer reading first. I added them in the primary. So I'm going on my own taste and I was also comparing it to another batch I had poured glycerin into at the same time. Sent from my iPhone...
