Ha. I live in MD. I'll look into Harford Vineyards and juicegrape.com
I know several people who have found that being responsible for producing the grapes was way to much work!
Thank you for your recommendations heatherd !!
Thank you all for your comments. I will add to taste. I'm just sorry I made the earlier mistake. Live and you learn.
Heatherd - that's an impressive list of wines. Is this time of year a good time to purchase the grape juices from Chili. I have a friend who only makes wine from that source and...
Hey,
I'm on my 4th batch of raspberry wine. I just fermented 2 gallons(6 days). The receipt called for 3 gallons which I followed correctly except for water. Can I add tap water to the must to make up the difference?
Thanks for your help

Hey all,
I have 3 - 1 gallon jugs of raspberry wine almost ready to bottle.
How best to burp? I've been corking and shaking and releasing Co2, but it seems like it's taking forever and it's still foamy when I shake it. Do I have to remove all of the gas so the corks don't explode while...

New question:
I have 2 batches in the second primary stage. In both batches, I drained the overage in to quart-size mason jars and covered with a breathable...

I just transferred a 1 gallon batch of raspberry wine to the secondary fermenter, when I realized I added french oak chips in with the fruit when loading the bag. I did pour 7 pints of boiling water over it. But that's it. Can someone tell me what I should expect moving forward? Thanks a lot...
Ok, I will. Thanks. I was hoping to hear that about the flavor! Also, I used one, 5 gram packet of champaign yeast in my first batch. Do I need to reconsider the amount this time?
Thanks again for your help!
Hello,
I'm on my second go-round making raspberry wine. I was pleased with the first batch - although it tasted a little watery.
Currently I have 4.5 lbs of raspberries sitting in the first primary with 7 pints of water. I boiled in 3 lbs of sugar prior to pouring over the berries...
Thank you all for your input.
There has been no cork movement in over 24 hours - with the biggest offender still only sticking out 1/4". The others are around 1/8" higher, than when we first corked them.
I'll wait another day and then I'm going to trim the excess and call it a day. I will...
