    Frozen Chilean Juice

    Thats how i do my test just that i add 5mls of distilled water to the 15mls of wine.Then i add my .2n solution.So your getting a reading of .325 you should be looking to get a reading of .7 on a white wine.

    Frozen Chilean Juice

    The acid does not sound right to me.It has to be much higher then that.Did you do your own acid test on it?or is that what the bucket is marked?

    Kit vs homemade

    I have walked this road before.Lets just say in a nice way that im not a fan of kit wines and i have tried quiet a bit.Also made some and none compare to the grape wines we make.So its grapes all the way for me.By the way we did a blind taste test and picked kit wine from the grape wine we make...

    Bought 2 juice buckets with my grapes

    Sure it is!Anything you do is up to the wine maker.From My experience bottling wines that are not aged long enough will have lots of sediment in it.You need a good year for reds to clear and be stable.

    Chillean Grapes - Where to get them?

    John i have not bought from them but have read all good things about them.They also carry allot of top notch grapes from allot of very great ares of Cali.I drive an 1hour and 15 to get to M&M it's worth the trip.I hear Gino's is too.To far for me.

    Chilean Season

    Have made chilean grapes for several years from M&M always real good quality.Our 2010 Carmenere won a silver medal at Corrados this past January.My brother and i did a blend of these 2 grapes 3-4 years ago and won a gold at another competition.Makes a real good wine.
