    WineXpert Bentonite, higher than usual wine loss

    Yes, I saw the same with my WE Pink Pinot Grigio and my Vineco Viogner (same instructions and ingredients as WE). I had to add more similar wine to the clearing stage, than ever before. They are clearing beaut

    Vineco Passport Viognier Roussanne Marsanne

    I tasted the fpak and it was not overly sweet, but had a strong raisin flavor.

    I'll be interested to hear about it. Mine is in the clearing stage.

    Winexpert Island Mist Favorite?

    I made a limited one, Blueberry Lemonade, last year. I put about 2/3 of the fpack in primary, then used the rest prior to bottling. Thus us very good and refreshing, just off dry...not sweet. These are sweet kits, very sweet. I like the low ABV, because they are summer coolers, served on ice...

    Yes, there is an fpack, just opened my box and there is a small fpack.

    Just opened my kit and there IS an fpack, a small one, but it's there.

    Thanks, Jim, I will keep that in mind, as I would have done the same as you since I like dry wine. I'm wondering if anyone else used the entire f-pack at the end and if it turns out sweet or just off dry.

    Vineco Passport Viognier Roussanne Marsanne

    Hello Everyone! I'm thinking my post/request was missed because I'm not replying specifically to someone. I will be starting mine in a week. You are sharing results and numbers, so I am wondering if any of you would have done something differently? Also, I wonder if you think this would...

    Vineco Passport Viognier Roussanne Marsanne

    I will be starting mine in a week or two (changing my work area a little). After reading these comments, I wonder whether this one would benefit from some oak?

    Bottled two months ago, opened one and it's fizzy?

    John, which vacuum pump do you use? Can they be used with plastic carboys? I've only found vacuum pumps under $25 and so far, none on wine suppliers websites.

    Port wine kit recommendations

    I would like a traditional port kit, not a flavored desert kit. Any recommendations on how to make this, or a kit?

    Best Chamblaise (Chablis) Kit?

    I made this one and it is excellent, very smooth.

    Are you going to tweak it at all Joe? I received mine, but have not started it.

    Airlock levels

    Hi Julie, yes everything was done 9/30, all hydrometer readings at dry, stabilized and degassed. Just sitting for awhile until I bottle. I was sampling - for bottling and when I reapplied fresh, sanitized airlocks I noticed the different levels and was just curious as to whether it meant...

    Airlock levels

    Thank you, this is what I found through further research as well. I will check the 50/50 one. All filled up to the neck level, but the 50/50 may be just slightly lower

    Airlock levels

    So, does anyone have a link to a description, or knowledge, as how to interpret the various levels of liquid in airlocks? For example, I have three carboys with airlocks and on one the liquid is about 50/50, the second is more to one side and the third is completely to one side with nothing on...

    Mosti Mondiale 2018 Meglioli

    Yes, it's $170 at the member price. I got an email yesterday with 15% off on everything....in stock, oops, didn't read the fine print. I guess, technically, these are not in stock. Too bad.
