One harvest last year and ripening was an issue for me too. Picked into mid-October hoping acid would come down. Tasted ok from the carboy earlier this month so I'm hopeful once it's bottled.Welcome! I’m in the UP of Michigan and have been growing all of those grapes except Frontenac Blanc. I’ve made two harvests so far. Biggest issue for me is getting them ripe. However, I have drinkable wine from the last two years already with hopes of improving each year.
Seymour, just west of GB and north of Appleton. I've been getting juice buckets through the Prairie Home Vinters club out of Sun Prairie for a number of years.
Ah,, you have seen the QA numbers I put out.
Yeah, this year I’m pushing harvest as late as possible. I’m also thinning out clusters a lot to try and improve the quality of clusters. I’m hoping if I can get the ripeness up, hopefully the ph will improve too.
Do they still do juice buckets? The place in Minneapolis closed and I am looking for a new source
Yes Prairie Home Vinters is still having juice buckets brought in. We will continue for the foreseeable future and have done buckets for about twenty years. Relative to you, some buckets went to LaCrosse, Fermented Friends club. Is LaCrosse reasonable driving for you?
Yes, would love to be on the list. Lacrosse is about an hour away, so that would work.
