I thought Matteo owned Label Peelers. Is this not true?

The relationship between Label Peelers and FWK is a little fuzzy to me, but I associate Matteo more with FWK and Matt more with Label Peelers. If you watch any of their videos on YouTube, they introduce themselves as "Matteo from Finer Wine Kits" and "Matt from Label Peelers."

Nope. FWK and LP are separate business entities, and AFAIK, have no common owners. LP is the sole distributor for FWK.

The BBB lists Matt Pruszynski as the owner.

Joe, that is Ordinary Differential Equations and Partial Differential Equations. It has to do with the number independent variables in question. ODEs have only 1 independent variable while PDEs can have 2 or more independent variables.

I’m getting oldto many pew, Ed’s, I only understand verbiage

I think I remember being told that Matt and Matteo have been buddies for a long time and my guess is probably why Matteo has agreed to a exclusive distributorship with LP. Also, FWK’s require some packaging equipment and freezers on site and I doubt most HBS stores would be willing to invest in that much capital.

Matteo is also an accomplished author. He's written several novels.

One of those being the FWK instruction book.

actually, I did publish a fiction novel last year. I thought developing wine kits was hard. Writing a novel is a beast.

Finer wine kits and Label Peelers are separate companies.

Thanks for sharing this. Most of the book takes place in Italy. It’s about an atheist who has a near death experience. I’m into stuff like that. There are a couple of juicy scenes with descriptions of Brunello which is my favorite commercial wine.

Regarding color in the whites, here's a good illustration. The 23 liter carboy on the left is Chardonnay, the 19 liter carboy is Riesling, and the 4 liter jug is the same Riesling. Note the different colors of the Riesling, which is due to the depth of the wine, e.g., width of the container.

In the glass, both are in the normal range for their varietals.

For that reason, I never really worry about color of my wine. If it’s tastes good, I’m happy

I don’t worry about color of my whites when it is the carboy, but when it is in the glass, I expect it to fall in range for the type of wine.

Started the Merlot over the weekend. I splurged on the 30l Speidel because I didn't want another mess like last time - should be plenty of room for foam in there!

No. Send Matt P. a message, and he'll respond quickly.

We kicked off the Pinot Noir this weekend. Reconstituted the juice and added all the goodies, but the yeast, on Friday. Then added the yeast on Saturday. OG is (as I predicted) 1.105. The yeast is just taking off - Looks and smells great. Will need to punch the wine when I get home.

@jgmann67 I'm in the same situation doing a Forte Pinot Noir, so am curious to see how it turns out.

We can compare notes. I’m doing this in my basement. 67 degrees. Going to ferment open till 1.000, then snap the lid shut for two weeks. I throw away the packet with sorbate and don’t use clarifiers.
