So Cool.... I didn't realize I could add sweetener to the wine when I went to drink it [in glass]. I can use wine conditioner?? As for giving more info = I will make sure of that from now on!

Sorry, didn't think the type of kit mattered?? Need any other info? Vintner's Bergamais Friend & I shared the cost of the kit [splitting it between us then] she wants it to be semi-sweet.. I can live with that but love sweet better!!

OK TY.. I was only wondering because of it being a kit? Didn't think it would matter but was double checking! ;)

When making a wine kit can I add a sweetener [in what I call the 3rd step].. Hope I explained this correctly??

For Christmas I gave wine as a gift to many.. One of the most asked question was "where did you learn how to do this?" I told them all about this terrific site & all the help I have gotten here!! Just Sharing Here~ :cool:

{soda ash (household soda)} Does he mean baking soda or something else?? Sorry if this is a silly question to some!~

I just started the wine so I know I am not near ready for the sorbate.. I meant because I accidently added 2 packs of yeast do I need extra sobate went I get to that time.. Hope you understand what I am trying to say!!

Got to thinking & have another question? When I am ready to add the sobate, do I add just the normal amount or will I need more?

[Good find there Wade. But I am afraid the real treasure may well be in his head. Might I suggest you start spending some more time with him talking and taking notes on recipes, processes, collecting fruit and talking in general. If you do this you may well end up with any notes or recipe books...
