    WineXpert Twisted Mist Kits

    Just found out yesterday that my local guy is going to be $ 84 + 7.8% tax. I agree with RW, pretty high for a summertime drink. Would rather do IM and add some fruit for sangria.

    WineXpert Twisted Mist Kits

    Sorry for the Spelling...."Twisted Mist" Alcohol: Standard bar cocktails (1.5 ounces alcohol with 4 ounces mix) are 12% ABV (alcohol by volume). After all,without alcohol cocktails are mocktails! Twisted Mist produces 12% ABV at bottling, giving the kick you expect, with great taste...

    Mike: Great Job! After following you on your quest with thisKit and tasting my We Selection Viognier, now with 9 months on it, I am looking forward to this kit as my next White. I have read that the dryer the white the more time it needs.

    More or less.. Most football players are sponsored by the coaching staff, but he will spend a lot of time up here. We live about 5 minutes to the north gate. He is not going to fly but a real change in attitude since spring ball is over. Did not know if he would come back for his Junior year or...

    Need Sympathy Trio Blanca GONE!

    Just another thought here... I have 2 other 6.5's bought from the same supplier. I use a vacuum pump to degas, rack, filter, and bottle. Any chance they might implode with 20-25" of vacuum pulled?

    Need Sympathy Trio Blanca GONE!

    Many thanks to all of you! I saved the top half of the carboy to take my handle off. Last night I was looking at it and the side that the bottle hit is right at or a little less then a 1/16" thick. The rest of the bottle is more then a 1/4" thick. This is a 6.5 gal. Does not have the ribs around...

    Need Sympathy Trio Blanca GONE!

    Mike: You are probably ahead with the style of kits you have made! I have only made 11 kits of 16L or more. I was playing with the smaller 10-12L kits byadding Shirazand Cab skins to them from last fall's grapes. The 18 also includes2 Island mist kits which I really don't count, made them into...

    Need Sympathy Trio Blanca GONE!

    Appleman: I have 2 of this design in there now. This one holds 88 and another holds 112. Since I was limited on space I was looking for something to hold as many bottles as possible and use if for bulk storage in my new wine area and not touch anything on that rack. I have made 18 kits since...

    Need Sympathy Trio Blanca GONE!

    I have seen this style of rack before. Nothing special but until I can get bottles back in I really can't figure out what happened. Had to be odd shaped bottles together.

    Need Sympathy Trio Blanca GONE!

    Actually about 3 weeks ago I just traded my last 2 better bottles for 2 glass ones since I have been using a vacuum pump. Go figure

    Need Sympathy Trio Blanca GONE!

    I had to vent somewhere and I thought I could get the most sympathy here where people understand what it means to lose 6 gals of a limited release kit. Until my dedicated wine room is completed I have been using my son's walk-in closet since he is away at school for my bulk aging and wine...

    Time for a radical departure in bulk aging rules?

    Mike: What level of free SO2 are you shooting for?
