LOL I'm not sure if I was shocked or constipated. Sorry didn't mean to go there. Into the corner I go. :p

Ha Ha. You must have hit submit reply a nano second before I did arcticsid. :D

I usually use Red Star "Cote des Blancs".

I agree 100%. One of my favorite wines to make and drink is old orchards cranberry concentrate. Very simple to make and it's an early drinker. :dg

The orange and lime extract sounds good. Let us know how that works out. I might have to try that on my next batch:h

I would suggest adding glycerin. I've made this kit twice now and I've done it both times. As for backsweetening I brought my SG up to 1.028 and thought it tasted good. I bought a bottle of moscato from the store and that was 1.032, that was a bit much for me.

I am on my second batch of the moscato. I read some reviews of it and alot of people talked about it being light, so from the begining I planned on adding some glycerin and I think that it makes a big difference. It has about the same body as a store bought bottle. I also backsweetened it.

I make a mulled wine that is very similar to witches brew from Leelanau Cellars. I sweeten mine with about a quarter cup of sugar per bottle of wine.

Very nice. Great job on the labels.:br

I bought a Moscato kit from Amazon and added body to it by putting in 2 oz of glycerin per gallon.

I picked up one of these as well. Definetely worth the money. He guarantees it for life. The one Amazon has is $75.00

I would love to have a machine like that. But $400 or so is quite a bit. I'll have to keep my eye on ebay or something to see if I can get lucky.

As a matter of fact I did. I used about 3/4 of one of the f-pacs to the juice. I added it before checking the SG figuring that it won't add that much to worry about. The SG after adding it was 1.102 :< WOW that might be a little hot. Oh well, I can always drink it over ice. Hopefully it will be...

I kind of thought it should only have one. I'll have to add one and then taste to see if it needs more. I'm thinking that 2 would be awefully sweet.

Has anyone else made the twisted mist mojito? I got mine and it came with 2 packages of yeast and 2 f-pacs. I'm sure the 2 packs of yeast was a mistake, I only used 1 of them. The f-pacs I'm not sure about. I've only done a couple of other island mist products and they only came with 1 f-pac...

Both of those would work really well too. I think that the cork would wear out much faster though. If you could find a piece of rubber roofing that would last forever.

Very nice Rob. If you have access to any vinyl you might want to put a round piece where the bottle sits. That area will get scratched up real quick, at least it is with the wooden one that I made.

Love your dispenser :br, when you figure out a cooling system for whites let me know and I'll be building one.:D

Man I envy you. I have at least 2 or 3 years till I can retire. Sure looking forward to it though.:br

I just started this kit also about a month ago. I bumped mine up to 1.080 with 1/2 th F-pac up front and sugar. I sampled a little this past weekend and it was pretty tasty.
