Amarone

[gabe]

Joe/pumkinman: you both need to chill & have a glass of Amarone. Obviously you’ve both made great amarones. However you’ve come across like,(“it’s my way or the highway”).My hats off to both of you because this is the drink of Royalty. I’ve been making my own since my first complementary bottle Atlantic City back in the 80’s. Made it from most exspensive kits($200.) & less exspensive. I do juice because this is my choice. I would Recommend to others trying out both ways, grape packs/raisins in different batches.

Pumkinman - I saw that you rack before MLF. I have read that it is beneficial for the MLF process if conducted with the gross lees present. Any opinion on this? Anyone else have any insight?

My Amarone kit I made earlier this year had a grape pack, plus I added a pound of organic raisins to the primary and did a 9 week EM on both of them. <running for cover>
