Oh thanks I see Finer Wine Kits.

"Lots of folks are quite impressed with the quality of wines coming out of a new manufacturer." What new manufacturer and where to get? Thanks

Hello again folks. I took a 2 year hiatus because 1) I had a huge stockpile of wi e bottled. 2) I became frustrated with what I perceived as a drastic decline in wine kit quality, they all started tasting the same regardless of varietal. 3) I was planning a move to be nearer our kids and...

Sorry I never answered you mike, I haven't been on here in months. Still making wine though. But yes mine is very similar to that and loads of fun, arg arg arg.

@ibglowin Get yourself one of these, the only way to light lump...

Darn Mike, that cooker is way to clean, I've actually worn out one ceramic liner and need to buy another. I have the Primo XL oval and love it. Did Pizza on it Saturday at over 600 degrees. You'll love it.

Three lobster tails 9nly 4.99 total from Kroger, 8oz prime filet, salad and roasted new potatoes. Early mothers day dinner for better half. My wine that accidentally wasn't labeled so no idea what is was but darn good. Tastes like a Brunello or Super Tuscan.

Change the quote to read "I also agree that there is a lot of difference between bulk aging in a barrel and bulk aging in a glass." Love it! Somebody give me a PhD in Sarcasm.

First welcome to wine making, as I have said many times before "it's a slippery slope". Although I have been obsessed with the hobby for 8 years now I have been absent from the forum for quite some time but not from wine making. In the last couple of years some of my techniques and procedures...

Very well said Brian. Thakfully after several years of kit making I have enough wine bottled to not have toopen bottles for at least 18 months. But yes they almost all start out chemically if thats a word.

Yes good point. Just not what im used to.

Good question Jim. Recent Amarone kit SG 998, 998 and 996. Checking today after racking on the 28th its moving again. Now down to .998. Im happy for it to stop here.

Thanks Jim & Coleman I'll strap on a brew belt and give it a few more days then hit it with the K-meta. If the SG goes down a few notches I'll skip the Sorbate and fuggetaboutit. If it stays at 1.000 ill add the Sorbate, which I haven't added to a kit in at least 3 or 4 years.

First Happy Thanksgiving guys. Sorry that I disappear until I need something lately. Two weeks ago I started a CC Amarone with grape pack (my fave kit) and subbed the EC1118 for my preferred RC212, two packs actually. This substitution worked last time but this time it seems to have stuck...

Forgot the picture

Aperol Spritz. 3 parts Proseco, 2 parts Aperol, 1 part Soda Water. This was an extremely popular cocktail in Milan.

Nothing keeps me from Whataburger

A bit of rain today. May hit 12 inches for the weekend.
