Hi all! Very new to home wine making. My real hobby is woodworking (and fixing stuff on the farm), but a classmate bought me basically everything I needed to get started with wine, so here I am. I'm approaching this very cautiously. I found this forum out of desperation. Having possibly messed up my 2nd batch of wine I need help making a go of this. Thanks!

Welcome to WMT! If you have doubts about what you are going to do ask away. You will get responses. We try to be really friendly around here and remember we all started out the same way.
Welcome from a fellow woodworker turned winemaker.

welcome to WMT
humm, ,, well there are quite a few things a wine maker can make for the winery, ,, in the old days even a screw press would be made out of wood.
In wine making taste is everything. What kind of taste were you producing? The good thing out of wine making is that a food under pH 4 with 11% alcohol isn’t a risk for food poisoning. Sample and spit if it tastes bad.
(edit- I see you did a Malbec kit, reds have good shelf life/ a good place to start)

Welcome, from a fellow Jayhawk!
Sorry, Jayhawker! My loyalties lie with K-State. Thanks though for the welcome. Very much appreciated.
K-State, KU - I’m good with both. It’s just good to see another Kansan on board.
I would bet that we’re both glad to be part of Chief’s Kingdom though!

Where you at in Kansas. Daughter lives there and we spend a lot of time in Glen Elder. Actually spend more time there than at home during fishing season. LOL, Arne.
NE edge of KS. Not too far west of Ft Leavenworth. I think Glen Elder, or should I say Waconda Lake, is about 3.5 hours west of us.
Welcome!

Yep, you are a ways away. If you are ever out this way give a shout. Will do the same if I get that way, but just do not get over there for some reason. Arne.
