I always add the zest of 1 grapefruit, in the fermenter, to mine.

Rinse with hot water. Done! I've been doing that for decades with no ill effects .

I have always had great success with Winexperts higher end white kits. I make Private Reserve Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc on a regular rotation and they always turn out really good. I always swap out the yeast for QA23 Lalvin Yeast and add the zest of grapefruit to all in the...

I opted out of making this kit. In the end, it was just to expensive.

My thoughts exactly! I exclusively make Winexpext and RJS high end kits, but I thought this was a bit pricey. I have to admit, it's still on my radar. I'm considering making a double batch. I'm just curious what others think.

Has anyone purchased this kit, and if so, what are you thoughts on it? I know it's to soon to comment on the taste, but what are your thoughts on the kit and contents?

Delicious! That's my go to now for this kit or any Sauvignon Blanc I make.

I made it many times. I swap out the yeast and add the zest of 1 grapefruit.

I just bottled that one as well, but didn't try it yet. You can't go wrong with any of the Winexpert or RJS limited addition wines. I've been making both for years.

Thanks! I picked up 2 Petit Verdots. I just bottled 2 batches I made last year, and it's really good.

My starting SG was right around 1.090 after adding extra sugar and white raisins.

I add 3-4 cinnamon sticks to a 6 gallon carboy here.

I normally bottle my whites around the 3 month mark as long as they are clear. I would dose it k-meta too. I add it to all my wines before bottling.

That is correct!

You might also want to consider picking up a few of these. I use these in all my carboys when bulk aging. No worries of your air lock drying out over time when using these. https://morewinemaking.com/products/breathable-bung-glass-carboys-cellarscience.html

Yes you can! I do it all the time. After racking a few times hit it with a 1/4 teaspoon of K-meta every 3 months and you're good to go until bottling time. I usually age all my reds a year or so before bottling.

Yes! Directly into the primary during fermentation.

Joe, how much do you use?

Joe, how many white raisins did you add?

Toss a cheap aquarium heater in your must. That's what I have been using for decades.
