yes i forget to mention that! I did add the nutrient pack at 48 hours before sealing. now i wish i would have checked SG when I added it, but oh well.

so that 1/4 pound of kmeta i just dumped in my 6 gallon carboy was too much?? lol

Well great!! That is my plan, appreciate the feedback!! much appreciated!

Okay great!! just seemed odd to me, but its nice hear it shouldnt be a problem!!! Appreciate it!

So I just started a FWK Forte pinot noir kit recently, and I think what I have going on is pretty odd. I was planning on trying a 6 week EM on this one as well. On sunday, I prepared the must per the directions in my fermenter bucket and prepared a yeast starter with RC212 in an empty wine...

great! thanks, Im gonna give it a try as well. Might be time here pretty soon for you to bottle that pinot eh? How long of a bulk age you planning on doing? let me know how it turned out when you try it! cheers!

I just bought a copy! Thanks!

Do you feel the feel the forte pinot benefited from the 6-8 week EM? Im gonna start that kit today and was considering doing it as well

Welcome!!! You'll have more knowledge and great advice thrown at you here than you can even handle!! its an absolutely amazing resource!

Man, I cant find one of theses anywhere near me and I look constantly. Great buy whoever got it!

Hey Matteo!!! Can we look forward to another "year in review" video like this at the end of this year here in a couple months??

Yeah! Sounds like I'm just a bit behind you in the progression, but glad to hear that others are doing a similar one! I've decided I'm definitely gonna do a couple (or a few) FWK kits and start making wine my way instead of following kit directions as gospel like you were saying! With all the...

Thank you as always!!! I love the experiments and will closely be watching for your results!!! Appreciate it!!

Love it! Great perspective and really got me thinking! Thanks!! I have been searching for a decent basket press, but they seem to be very hard to find these days!

Thank you so much for taking time to answer! All very helpful! I think I'm gonna give PBW a try, haven't tried that one yet! I've done quite a bit of research on EM and Im very intrigued! I think I'll try it with my next kit I do (FWK with skin packs). While doing EM with a kit, when you move it...

Awesome! Thats what I was planning. My progression I have planned is this, let me know if you think it sounds good or if I should add or skip any steps. 1. A couple of wineXpert kits (done) (next) 2. FWK kit with skinpacks, seems a little more involved 3. a couple of Frozen grapes pails from...

Thank you!!! I love the advice and opinions!!! Worth alot more to me than the price charged!! With the starsan, do you rinse your empty bottles with it and then add the wine while its still wet?? I know the manufacturer says its no issue, but all that foam in such a small bottle really worries...

I figured kits would be a good way to get my feet wet and make my rookie mistakes on. I also dont have a crusher/destemmer and had basically zero knowledge of how to make wine when i started my first kit. I wasnt refering to an actual secondary fermentation, I was talking about moving the...

I actually just subscribed to that last week!! So I'm glad to hear it is highly recommended and worth while! Thanks for the tips! greatly appreciated. I have searched online quite a few times but have yet to find a local winemaking club. hopefully I can find one soon!

Thank you! Just bought a copy online per your recommendation! I look forward to reading it!
