With the first two kits i made, I struggled with letting them age, because of my impatience. I am determined to let this Cellar Craft Washington Merlot age for a year. I think I am leaning on the CC Rosso Fortisimo. If you had to choose a kit that doesnt require long aging, which would it be?

I have tried both CC kits. I think they are great. I was just considering another brand. i'll look into Mosti Mondiale & RJ Spagnols. On a different note, I met someone at a party last week that make wine from grapes. he has a crusher and a winepress. I may go that route next year. He...

I have done a cheap zinfandel, a Cellar craft Amarone (good), and I have a cellar craft Washington Merolt in bulk age. I am deciding on my next kit. What would you do? Selection Estates Napa Valley Stags leap Lodi Old Vines Zinfandel Cellar Craft Showcase Lodi Old Vines Rosso...

Question, why does the intructions on Cellar craft kit say "add 1/8 tsp of Kmeta every 55 days" and on this site, people are saying 1/4 every 90 days?

I am two months into this and now letting it bulk age. Had a taste very young and a bit sharp. i am going to let this bulk age for 8 months befor I bottle. Time to start another kit

I did this kit. its bulk aging right now.

I purchased this from Grapestomers. I started it Thursday night, its been fermenting for two days, low and slow. Not sure if anyone has tried this before. I have an Amerone kit that I just bottled. I started it 3.5 months ago

I just bottle a Cellar Craft Amarone and had some filling issues. Some of them, my fault. I used a siphon hose while the bottle filler was attached, it was tough to get it to siphon unless I turned on the filler. That was ok, as long as you remember to turn it off when you pull it out...

Not somehthng California builders do i guess. Katrina was terrible. I cant imagine anyone having to shoulder something like that.

Thanks fellas, I am having a glass of the amarone as i type. its taste good, but it has the slight kit tatste. I am going to put away 10 bottles for aging. I have another washington merlot coming. I wish i would have started this years ago. Living in California, homes do not come equipped...

thanks fellas, I will be starting my 3rd kit. There is a special on Cellar Craft Washington Merlot 18L at Grapestompers. $93.00 I did a low budget 8L kit, and it was ok at best, but it had a certain taste that I couldnt not point my finger on it. The Cellar Craft Amerone is much better and...

1. What is the best online site that has the best prices for Wine Kits? 2. What is a red wine type, brand, that you can drink in two moths that doesnt require much aging and is fairly decent. I am so impatient

2-3 years...I not a patient guy by virtue, so this endeavor is a bit challenging. What red wine kit would recommend that I can drink a decent bottle in 6 months?

thanks Wade, the instructions says every 55 days. i have the note taped on the carboy with all the dates that i have to add k-meta. I am thinking about stating another batch. Leaning towards:RJ Rossio Fortismo, Cru International Boralo, Stags Leap Merlot, or a Walla Walla Merlot. Any advice?

I have degassed and clarified the wine. I racked it to another carboy and will bulk age for 6 months before I bottle. I am really surprised in how the tatse changed from 4 to 6 weeks. My wife who doesnt drink had a small taste and said it was good. I had a glass fater 6 weeks and can only...

usually when you come out of secondary fermentation, theres no bubles for a few days. If you degassed properly, you shouldnt have any bubbling. how did you degass?

yes I did, but I bought what they had at my local brewstore.

Gosh Wade I dont know the name but it was for red wine. Do they make differnt tannins for different wines?

Thanks Wade, I appreciate your advice. I added 1/4 tsp of tannin for every gallon. I also added two oak staves. i'll leave them in there for 6 weeks, rack the wine and then bottle.

I was concerend as well. I followed it by the directions so i should be good. thanks for the help.
