Is there a certain brew belt that everyone recommends? I would like to get one for my 7.9 gallons fermenter. My house cools a little at night and I am hoping this may keep the temps constant in my fermenter.

Thank you……..Screwed up again! I am making much more wine than I can drink now. It took me awhile to catch onto that! I have 3 in carboys now, one FWK in fermentation, and 2 FWK i just ordered today. I am wine poor!

Patience has never been my strong suit! That 3 gallon jug I bottle made 15 750ml bottles and I use every drop. I have another 3 gallons that I will let bulk age most of the summer. So should I pull the corks and bulk age it some more ? @winemaker81

I order the Baby Super Tuscan Tavola and the Chardonnay Tavola Finer Wine Kit. Dang, now I have to order more carboy!

The Forte come with 2 gallons of juice

I received my Syrah Forte kit today…Just finished putting the musk together and starting the yeast in a wine bottle. I will pitch the yeast at some point tomorrow. The musk tasted terrific right now. SG 1.100.

Was that the Forte kits? @Jovimaple

As I remember the DB was very good. It has been bulk aging in the carboy for maybe a month or a little more. I guess i should bottle some and give it a good taste test now. I have done a peach DB also. Just experimenting i guess….

I guess most of the real wine makers and tasters have seen this, but I found it most interesting. I believe it will make it much easier for me to narrow down what types of wine I may like.

I have 9 pounds of triple berry fruit. Blackberry, Raspberry, and blueberry. At first I was going to make more dragon blood. Now I am wondering if I should order some kind of cheap wine kit and use the berry‘s for it. Or is there some other way to use them to make a good wine? I don’t always...

Ha ha….good winemaker! You are absolutely right! I will make the kit as the direction say. They did like my Skeeter Pee last year!

Just hypothesizing I guess. It may have not been the best choice for me. I wanted it for a reunion were having next September 2024 in Arizona. I have a few whites and wanted to bring a good red wine. I guess thats why I picked the Forte Series. The only red I have is Daves Dragon Blood and that...

I am kinda of new to wine making. Only been doing it for 1 year. I guess I don’t know what a kill jar is or how to use one. It doesn’t reference that in the instructions.

I did degas with the AIO head space eliminator. No more bubbles was coming when held under vacuum. I did bottle 3 gallons of it. The other 3 gallons I will leave in a topped up carboy for another few months. Maybe sharpness was the wrong way to describe it for me.

I really don’t care for real tannic dry red wine. I'm wondering if the FWK Syrah Forte without skins would be a better option for me? I am going to start this kit tomorrow and was curious how it might turn out with out the skin packs?

Thank you @cmason1957……I decide to rack half of it into a 3 gallon carboy. I added 1/8 teaspoon of K-meta. First taste was not bad I think. It has a little sharpness to it or maybe not real smooth yet. I am not much of a wine taster but I am trying to get better. I guess the wine is still young...

Hi everyone….I racked this kit on 4-9-23. I was worried I may have screwed it up. I still don’t know. Looking at the wine now it has cleared up good. I am happy with that! I was thinking it maybe time to rack it again and bottle it. I would add 1/4 teaspoon of K-Med. I started the kit on March...

The Syrah Forte Finer Wine Kit was in stock. I just ordered it? @Gilmango

Any opinions on what is the better Shiraz kit to purchase?

Here’s my babies!
