    Looking for a semisweet red

    I am fairly new to wine making. Doing it for 1 year now. I have done only a few different wines. All but one were at least drinkable. The few that I have tried have been WineExperts Moscato 1 gallon wine kit, Muscat grape concentrate juice, Welch Red Concentrate, and Skeeter Pee. I like...

    Moscato Juice Concentrate

    Yes they do…I have tried it before and had good results with it. It is pretty expensive to ship here but if thats what i have to do. I was wondering about Label Peelers Vintner's Best Moscato Wine Base. Anyone try it?

    Top up with water?

    Wow my head is swimming now! 😳 Thank you for your calculations. I never knew you had to be a mathematician to make wine!

    Top up with water?

    I started 6 gallons with specific gravity of 1.065. I think that is about 9.5% alcohol. So do y’all think about 7 % after I added 48 ounces after fermentation. During fermentation I added 96 ounces. I fermented it till it was dry .988.

    Top up with water?

    Top up with water?

    Top up with water?

    I have racked my first 6 gallons of SP into another carboy now the fermentation is complete. I need to top it up to the neck. Would y’all recommend I do it with lemon juice or water? I am making 6 gallon and have used 3 32oz bottles of lemon juice so far. I see some are putting way more juice in...

    Thanks 81.....I guess I didn't realize you could do that. It does make sense to me though. I have another 6 gallon of skeeter Pea going. I usually go to Arizona for the winter. Maybe I will try bulk aging on that six gallons batch. It should be ready when I get back in April to bottle.

    Yes…I have them all bottled up and aging now. Before I bottle them I tasted each recipe. A couple of the Moscato recipes had an off taste to them. Not bad but not like Moscato should taste. I though some aging might improve them, but then again maybe not

    New Wine Maker

    Hi everyone. I have been trying my skills at wine making for about 3 months now. My first was a WineExpert Moscato 1 gallon kit. It came out OK but not quite as good as a commercial bottle. A little darker than commercial Moscato also. Then I when on to ordering some Moscato juice and tried a...
