What yeast type would you recommend for Reisling to ferment and get the Granny Smith apple smell and taste?

Thanks everyone. Gives me a lot to think about. PS. The nuke plant doesn't make me warmer but I hope to get ten pound grapes that glow

We stay warmer until lake freezes over than we get colder because of wind chill

Water is 8.33# per gallon at 68f

Is it best to plant vines now or in the spring? Wife brought home several in three gal containers

Has anyone ever used Lalvin QA 23 to ferment a red. I am think of trying on a concord but just wondered if anyone else has experimented.

I am thinking of putting in a small run of reisling plants, say six to twelve plants to start Has anyone ever build a hoop house over the plants to protect them from harsh winters? I live very very close to Lake Erie and the air temp and wind speed coming of the lake can be quite dramatic...

I have been thinking of purchasing some land to build a new house and was going to build on only one acre of the property. I thought of renting out sections of the grape but never thought to sell grapes for wine Would you mind dropping me a private email and let know how this has worked out...

I have bought there several times and never had bad. Headed there this Sunday.

I lived in NJ for two years between 07 - 09. I can't think of one day traffic wasn't stopped when I crossed over to NY. Christi had dumb a&&e& working for him and he fired them. Obama has the same but doesn't fire them instead promotes them. Get to the point... It is all political and most...

Warthers from Dover/Sugarcreek Ohio. I also have Forshner But like the others better.

Being new to wine making, I try to learn why certain things happen or I intentionally do thing to see how the flavor changes. Never like to stop learning.

I will try the aeration and on the acid I checked three times with new samples and all were within .002

All the juice was bought and two 5gal carboys filled out of there master tank at the winery.

Juice was harvested second week of October. The juice was yellowish brown and definitely not greenish. If you notice the other two carboys are also yellowish as these were all the same juice bought the same time. Should the juice have been greenish?
