Thank you for the suggestion... i just have a hard time spending $6 to ship 1 gram of product.
I'd rather kick a few extra dollars to another member who has bought in bulk than give those dollars to USPS.
I'm looking for some small doses (maybe 1.2 grams each) of one or both of:
Tannin Riche Extra (Tannin Plus)
Tannin Complex (Tan'Cor)
Shipping via morewine is cost prohibitive and I'm interested in punching up my wine kit a little as a newbie. It tastes good... but I do think it could use...
Thanks... so here is my general plan for additions/omissions...

Thanks again, all. I'll probably get the Winemakers Trio kit fermenting tomorrow. It came with all of the contents listed including the pectinase so I will add that. I'll omit the oak powder it came with though.
I'll just have to make a decision on how many oak cubes and how much tannin...
I have an ounce of medium toast Hungarian oak cubes. I was thinking about using those... or perhaps buying more or something else once I read up a little more. Any suggestions for time/type if I did go with the RJS kits mentioned? Are you suggesting adding both tannin and putting it on oak...
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Regarding the pectinase... now that I look over the instructions for the kit online it is kind of generic. I'll see what is in the box once I pick it up later today.
Also... I didn't state it... but I'm willing to spend a couple bucks on...
I've been all-grain homebrewing for quite some time. My sanitization skills are honed in. I have a fermentation chamber, and plenty of carboys. I've been reading a bunch of information on kits and I'm looking for some suggestions/feedback before I dive in.
I'm leaning towards the RJS...
