Couldn't resist a Fuzzy Peach for this coming summer time

I think the Black Currant could be good. Its great they are coming out with different wines.

Started my FWK Pinot Noir today and next weekend I'll start a FWK Grenache thats in the refrig! If they come out with a FWK raspberry I'm all in on that one.

Ordered the Black Currant yesterday, may have to wait a month or so until I have a free 6 gallon carboy.
Can't decide If I want to make as instructed or maybe tweak it. Some cherry concentrate post ferment as a substitute for some of the sweetener pack(s)?

 

[ratflinger]

Cherry came in today, I'll have to break out my 'emergency' fermenter. I am now at the point where I am in dire straits, as far as carboys are concerned. I'll probably end up having to use a couple of my kegs for bulk storage.

 

[Shurt1073]

Hey .. lets keep this going. Any updates on the Peach, Black Currant or Cherry would be appreciated. I'll be looking to buy another FWK soon enough and any information you guys give is useful.

Got my Black Currant yesterday, in the freezer awaiting an empty carboy

 

[She’sgonnakillme]

Peach arrives tomorrow

My FWK Frutta Black Currant expected to be delivered today. I don't have a free carboy but a few nearby on Marketplace. My first kit wine.

...I am now at the point where I am in dire straits, as far as carboys are concerned. I'll probably end up having to use a couple of my kegs for bulk storage.

I hit that point last winter. Once I had a system to get my wine from the carboy into the kegs together (which was not difficult), I never went back. Now all my wines spend the last 6 months or so in a keg immediately before being bottled.
Not totally without downsides but if one already has kegs and the associated equipment there are a lot of upsides to it.

It made me laugh when I saw the title of this thread.

Sorry! It' s just the way I read it and my weird sense of humour.

Mixed up the cherry today. I'd had it in my 42* fridge for a couple of days and it was like trying to get maple syrup out of the tree in the winter. Really has a heavy, excellent nose and taste of cherries. I'm expecting good thing from this. Why if it wasn't immoral/illegal I'd be tempted to distill and age a batch. Should make an excellent kirsch eau de vie

Do all the Fruttas come with an FPac?

Do all the Fruttas come with an FPac?

The Strawberry and Blackberry did not, although they came with 2 conditioner packs each.

The cherry is the same, no fpac but 2 conditioners

Same! It will be my first fruit wine.

What's in the conditioner paks?

 

[winemaker81]

What's in the conditioner paks?

Sugar syrup and enough sorbate to keep it from fermenting.

I added both to each wine, and suspect a lot of folks might add a bit more. Both wines are acidic, so that amount of sugar provides a good balance.
