Yea Joe your getting some great grapes,Im still in line waiting.I hope Malvina chimes in on her order and can give us all some good advice.

Why leave any steams in at all?Only acid you want to add is tartaric acid and nothing else.

Hey John,This is my story we are always asked to join clubs and lots of friends,but our club only consist of my brothers and me.We really enjoy just us 3 together and our nephew sometimes.We did have 4 but life would have it one of us was taking away.My brother Mario and my father were our...

Joe how about a big chest freezer will it fit your barrel?

Yea Wade you keep buying the kit wines,more grapes for us.:h

Hey MS,I know your were poking back as a cultured man I can handle it.:D

Great info MS,I add Fermaid K after lag and have used Fermaid O at 15 brix as well.But this is just my choice as I do not go by YAN numbers.I also use Fermaid K at 15 brix without the Fermaid O with great results.May be this year I will give the hulls a try with KGIII grapes if I am lucky enough...

MS never used them but if you say so.Might try it why would you in the first place?Stuck ferment?I don't intend that to happen.

Yes,also remember to add your tannin 12 to 24 hrs after adding your enzyme.

1/2 tsp per 100lbs should do the trick.

Don't forget 1.25 grams of go ferm per gram of yeast.Man Malvina your like a book of knowledge Thank you.

I have used syrah yeast with zin and petite syrah and liked it allot.Aging in oak barrels will give you the coffee,and spice flavors your looking for as well.

Hey Rocky good to know I thought I read some were you like kits wines over grape wines.Glad to see you still use grapes.

Why would you sorbate and sulfite?How would Mlf work with this?

Vacuum pack it is what we do.

I would wait press grapes at 1.000 or less.Wait 24 to 48 hrs rack off gross lees.Add your ml culture and nutrient.Keep warm around 70 or a bit above.Test in a month and keep testing until mlf is complete.Rack and add your s02.

It will be an honor to drink your wine!!!!
