how many have used either an FPAK or an EXTRACT to enhance your wines and how many of you don't understand the usage of either??
 
Hi go back read through tweaking cheap wine kits as well as making an fpak .
Or just ask your questions
 
I'm pretty new to wine making. The idea of using fpaks and extracts prior to bottling intrigues me but I am essentially clueless on where to start.
Yes @Brant Lots of good info on the Tweaking Cheap Kits thread that will answer your questions on f-pacs and other tweaks. Then you can ask questions there and you'll get quick answers. Welcome to WMT!
 
knowing why, how, and when to use simple syrup is a great tool in your wine toolbox

You need at least one year in the bottle and the sharpness will mellow out .
Without that bit it’s not oerfect
