Congratulations David Becker..........................one of our forum's finest.

Great job...

I've made several Lounge kits, I really like the Long Island Iced Tea! But the best one I did was make the Cosmo and the Pina Colada kits and mix them together for a Cosmo Colada. The cranberry takes some of the sweetness out of the colada and it is just amazing. It looks just like pink grapefruit juice!
Also from Vineco they had a couple of 'cocktail' kits as well and these they give you a kit to make 6 gallons and then they give you 2 f-packs of flavoring to make 2 different 3 gallon cocktails. Again I mixed them together to make a Creamsickle Colada and a Strawberry Lemonade (which got me a second place in this competition!).

Thanks RC, very kind words indeed!!
Let's not forget about Joe, he got 4 for 4 as well!!

Joe, my apologies. I didn't notice you won 4 medals. I didn't recognize your last name. You are my wine making mentor. All the medals you won re-enforce why I think that way.

Congrats Joe and Dave. You guys have done Jersey Proud!

Thanks John. Hope all is well with you. Did you enter this one? My wife and I also each received a best in show award (my fruit wine, her dessert wine) at the Sussex County Fair this year, I didn't see you there either. They are doing that one much better now with AMS judges and not cooking the wines in the sun!!

johnt

YOU should have entered, this one with a bold red, that would have been a triple play and this is a tough category to break the link the good old boy feeling, however this season the judging was a lot more open minded to taste and types ,that was a plus for all who entered,.....

simple syrup and extracts

In the case of the amarone wine kit, we need to make a simple syurp from dextrose .......................... This is the process I use it should always be in your toolbox a couple of quarts should always hang around they last forever or almost.

when and why?

Remembering the differences
Capitalization, is the process of adding sugar unfermented grape must in order to increase the alcohol content after fermentation. The technique was developed by the French chemist John Antoine Claude CHAPTAL, for whom it was named contrary to popular belief, this process does not make the wines sweeter but only artificially inflates the alcohol content. Additionally, the sugar in capitalized wine cannot be tasted.

Potassium metabolic sulfate, wine, or must additive, where informed sulfur dioxide gas. This both prevents most wild microorganisms from growing, and it acts as protective antioxidants, protecting both the color, and a delicate flavor typical dosage is 1/4 teaspoon potassium metabolic sulfate from 6 gallon bucket of must. Winemaking equipment to sanitize by sprang with a 1% solution or two tables teaspoons potassium metabolic sulfate per liter solution.

Potassium sorbate, is used to inhibit molds, and yeast in wine. Also known affectionately as wine stabilizer potassium sorbate produces sorbate acid when added to the wine. It serves two purposes. When active fermentation has ceased and the wine is rack for the final time after clearing, potassium sorbate will render any surviving yeast incapable of multiplying. yeast living at that moment can continue fermenting any residual sugar into CO2 and alcohol, but when they die no new yeast will be present to cause future fermentation. when a wine is sweetened before bottling, potassium sorbate is used to prevent from re-fermentation when used in conjunction with potassium metabolic sulfate. It is primarily used with sweet wines, sparkling wines, and some hard ciders but may be added to table wines which exhibit difficulty in maintaining clearly after fining.

Do you remember these? Do You know how to use these? What you should do is copy this now this whole thread and post in your work. As a reference point as I do. .......... until it becomes memory.
