So like most what starts as simple hobby quickly gets out of control. Needless to say after 50 or so kits wanted to try something on a little bigger scale but due to certain constraints not ready to go right to grapes. I have set up account with my company with us elite winery in Cali and...

I have sweetened most my skeeter at bottling with truvia. It is sweeter than natural sugar so don't need nearly as much. Opened bottle recently after several months tasted like sweeter pee. No off flavors. My family likes the skeeter unsweetened actually with just a Swist of lime so haven't...

Have thought about giving small bottles as a gift set for the holidays, as in the set in the following link. Any ideas on the feasibility of getting small bottles like less than 375 and what time of closure to use...

Thanks for your reviews. As far as the Reserve du Chateu Pinot Grigio I see on amazon they have a four week box kit and also a 6 week bucket kits, which kit did you do that you thought was great. To add one review I have made the cru select plantinum which the taste I didn't think was true...

So I know has been mentioned that others have noticed the price of lemon juice has gone up. Some had gotten a deal on amazon for case however I don't even see that deal anymore. Just bought 15 oz at target for 2 bucks which seems high. Anyone have any suggestions where they get best price...

Have seen some mention of peeps trying to reuse the slurry from skeeter pee but wasn't sure if that was from a batch of skeeter made from a wine slurry prior, meaning was going to be third round for the yeasts. I have finally gotten my skeeter going which was from a starter, and has been a...

thanks for reply danger. so the yeast should hopefully still be viable. if last resort if I need to start new starter is that an option after brew belt?

danger I think the easy pessy only applies to your pee. Having some struggles getting it going. So i mixed a 6 gallon batch up let sit 48hr and then added yeast 2 days ago. I rehydrated the 1118 in warm water for 15 minutes added a little must stirred and then added to the rest of the must...

Awesome thanks for replys. Will start it tomorrow

Related to mezza Luna white I started this week also. The kit includes f pack to be added during clearing. I don't like to steer away from instructions but I like dry wines will this addition make it noticeably sweet? According to we website the wine is off dry. Any suggestions on not...

Hmm so still at 1.075. Was thinking about adding simple syrup but already at 6land that probably dilute to much think and be even more watery. just wierd how there other kits always at 6 l. Were at or above like1.085

good point about the stirring, I did stir a bit but might not have been quite as much since I didnt use the drill stir. Will recheck later.

little background, I started making kits last Jan. total have made vitners reserve chianti and pinot grigio, both were made to 6g and ended up tasting great, to point all gone now. Have tried several kits from amazon, the vino italiano all were were made to 5g and turned out good as well...

So update I splash racked this last weekend to a better bottle which is a little smaller than the glass carboy and ended up not needing that much chianti to top it up. On initial taste the smell has subsided a lot. I am wondering if it was partly because of the clearing sediment was still on...
