    How to Cool Basement

    I don't think at 68 your wine is going to spoil, it may not age as long as you would like but most home winemakers don't expect their wine to age for 10 or 15 years anyway.

    How to Cool Basement

    I am still struggling with this very question and there seems to be no good answer as far as I am concerned. If you are going to use a standard room air conditioner then you have to use something like a Coolbot http://storeitcold.com/ to trick the A/C into not cutting off too soon. Most room...

    making wine with just pure juice

    I would check the pH level, some berries and fruits are too acidic to use just the juice

    Brandy in ports

    I am not trying to be argumentative but that is really not the same thing. I don't want anyone trying to sell me a bourbon that was made in Mexico or a port that comes from China. I realize we are rather loose here with our labeling and it is just a hobby, I was just trying to explain to...

    Brandy in ports

    When I use the terms port or port style I am just trying to follow the established rules. "Port" comes only from Portugal. Yes you can make a port from other countries and call it port but it is actually made in the style of port and shouldn't be called port. Just like Bourbon can only be...

    Not sure what you are looking for but the pre-order is going on now for a fall delivery. If you are talking about left over from last year for immediate delivery, I doubt it.

    Port style kits 2015

    I love the coffee port but then I love coffee. I tweak it as stated above per Joeswine thread on the coffee port. I actually like the coffee port better than any of the others I have tried.

    Port style kits 2015

    I added additional alcohol both times to get the abv up to about 20%. I added brandy the first year and 190proof Everclear the second year. Personally I like the Everclear addition better, it takes less and doesn't change the taste to me. I also tweaked the coffee port per Joeswine thread...

    Port style kits 2015

    I have done the toasted caramel and coffee port the last 2 years and wanted to try something different this time. They are both very good if not a little too sweet. The toasted caramel taste like your drinking "corn candy." Definitely made for slow sipping in small quantities.
