Horkalugi My favorite is the cru select calirfornia pinot noir Iam currently bulk ageing a cellar classic valpolicella in the winnery seris havent tasted it yet but iam sure it will taste great I have a grand cru international california syrah in the primary now so I will try to keep you posted...

Horkalugi The barolo did not taste as good as I wanted it to, it is a little thin not much body to it, and the amerone is still in the carboy havent gotten around to bottleing it yet, the cab sav is the best but all in all I find that costco wines are to thin. I dont think I will buy them any...

Horkalugi When did you buy this kit from costco? I have made 3 kits from there in 2009 and all of them were fine, the kits I made were a cab sav and merlot, and Barolo and Amerone, they were the vino europa double plus...

Renato I just bought the same brand kit as yours only it is a calirfornia syrah and I have not started it yet just what do you mean by a style of wine?

Renato Is that kit a 12 litre juice? and does it have a dried grape pack that you add to it?

would it be ok to soak the bottles in water with dawn dishwashing detergent and use a brush to scrub the inside?

Allie I have a wine expert vintners reserve 10 litre valpolicella kit that I want to make soon, you stated that you tweaked a valpollicella kit, if you dont mind me asking what did you add to it to beef it up...

Vinman I have made kits from Vineco, RJ Spagnols, and Wine Expert, and they all vary in the instructions as to how long to leave the bottles upright vineco states 1 to 2 days, rj spagnols states 1 day, and wine expert states 3 days, I have turned them over on there side in 1 day, and have not...

Runningwolfe your table looks like it has a wow in the middle, from all that weight on it I would not like to see it break, and loose all that wine, that would make a grown man cry.

Doug Thanks for the info, I have sweetened wine with wine conditioner on occasions, but I would like to try sweetning it, with the same juice that was made into wine sounds interesting.

[:f Al, regarding an appropriate wine, a sweet red is generally not offered in kits, so you will have to go to a mist kit, a blush, or backsweeten the red of your choice. One easy way to do this is to save a cup or two of the kit juice and add it back at stabilization to suit your taste. Good...

Wade This kit is in the clearing stage right now, it is a 6 week kit and will be ready to bottle around the middle of this month I plan on bulk ageing it for a while, so when I rack it to another carboy to bulk age it, should I add the extra sulphite then? or when would be the appropriate time?

Wade I currently have a valpolicella wine from RJS winery series, that is a week away from botteling, now you stated that you have a EP amarone that you have aged for 3 and 1/4 years did you add the extra sulphite to it before you bottled it? if a person intends to age it for 2 plus years...

Steve you are correct it is Iso Kleer I threw the empty in the garbage thinking it was chitosan after reading your reply I phoned the store where I bought it and they stated that the kits come with iso kleer sorry about the incorrect info. I do not have any Iso kleer but I do have a pak of...

Hi there I am currently finishing a australian shiraz kit that refuses to clear I have left it for 12 days now and it looks almost the same as it did when I added the clarifying agent I followed instructions to a T added metabisulphite stirred and degassed for 2 days added chitosan stirred it in...

I do the same as Steve and Racer seems to work really good fuzz

Steve I have never made a port or sherry kit just curious it sounds like it could be tasty. I am 4.5 hours from Regina do not make very many trips there I am closer to the alberta border but the next time I go to Regina will have to look up John.

Steve how many bottles does this kit make

Wade if I understand you correctly your saying I could add 3 to 3.5 lbs of surgar to the primary to get it up to 1.085 and add the whole f-pack at the end. I am kind of curious as to how the alchol, and sweetness, would balance out? I made a niagra mist kit a while back, where I added 4 cups of...

Bob that is some awesome looking clear wine, I have not made any white wine yet, I am strictly a red wine guy, my wife and I do not care for whites, but I was thinking of making a white batch just in case company comes, and some one requests a white, did you filter that batch or did it clear on...
