Great post Rocky..............I think I'll leave out the carrots too. I think dipping the bread and wine idea is a great one. A meal in itself.

Joe, Your 2 cents always ends up worth 5 bucks....

Lori, My heart goes out to you. I'm sure you have helped many newbies by sharing this experience. Glad you're ok, and I love your kitchen......

Sounds like a great tip. Thank you. Any suggestions as to how many tablespoons of bottled extracts per 6 gallons of juice?

Waiting 5 days to get to secondary. I will add raisins in secondary to the fermenting bucket. I will add them whole, and loose, as per Joe's instructions and then do airlock. I have found 3 bottles of citrus extract, so I will do that along with skins.

BRAVO Master. Great job again. Grasshopper.

Ok, Joe has shared many of his tweaks with us, so it's time we shared some of ours with him. What have you done? I'll start with what I am going to do. I have 4 white kits and I want to kick them up a notch, so I am going to do the following. Batch 1: Calf Chardonnay, adding 1/2 lb of...

Santa needs to get him a floor corker.....you'll never go back. It's as necessary as the All In One pump....

Hi Lori, I've made several batches of it. It's from Amazon. I get great reviews on it. It goes great with a cigar around the camp fire. Definitely a sipping wine and very sweet.

It was a busy Saturday Bottled 30 Bottles of Ice Wine and 30 Bottles of Strawberry Chocolate Port.

I do the cheap route once in awhile, so my 4 kits are from Amazon. They are the 6 gallon kits for around $75. I have 2 California Chardonnays, 1 Gawurztraminier, and 1 Semillion Chardonnay. I thought the raisins, from Joe's suggestions, would work would enhance them. He did say to not use as...

Lori, A couple questions. In your thread you stated: (9-19-13): SG .102, Added raisins and 3 TBL of wine tannin. Now for some reason, i decided to do this without racking. Thinking I could finish it up in the bucket. Then age in the carboy. (turned out to be a mistake) I see you stated...

You'll be glad you did. It all boils down to having the right tool for the right job.

Joe & Kate, Thank you for a wonderful experience and passing of great knowledge. We're drinking it already. I don't think this wine will make it through the holidays......

Lori, Thank you for sharing and it looks like you're doing a fantastic job. Question: In the future, if you made a white, would you add white raisins, tannins and oak in addition to the manufacturers ingredients? Do you think it would have the same effect by adding more body and mouth feel?

My suggestion is to cleanse and sanitize all. Why guess?

Well said......................

That can't be good...

Hey Robb, How are the vines coming? We haven't got the wives up there yet to look for property. As I follow the real estate market there, I see homes stay on the market for quite some time. I know the right thing will happen when it is supposed to. I find out today how much income tax I...

I like it....................
