I have minijet as well - I degassed, wait a few weeks, degas again, wait a few weeksprior to filtering (just using the drill mounted stirrer method to degas) - I filter right into a primary fermenter with spigot and bottle immediately - it seems to work fine for me with no sediment and I dont...

yeah - I was talking about the winemaker mag competition I want to make sure I enter stuff properly - so for a mist wine kit - would I enter it in the "Grape & Non-Grape Table Wine Blend " category? Sorry for my newbishness on this :P I was contemplating entering, but knowing that...

That's a good idea handyman

I am debating entering a few wines. Do you know if you get feedback at all on them even if you dont win anything? So you at least know like a 1 to 10 rating on categories? It would be worth it to me just to know from people who really know how to taste wine. Also - what category do the...

Orchard Breezin Kiwi Melon Pinot Grigio - Also the Cranberry Chianti is good - both of these are amazing - I have friends that beg me to make more and want cases of bottles (if only I was smart enough to sell the stuff)

I added some of the sugar mixture late nov and decided to let it sit a bit (plus really bsy with work and holidays) - I went back to it today and it is tasting really well so I am gonna bottle it - wow it isyummy

Yeah - I have dont that - I also just purchased a bottle of sparkaloid just to have on hand. I make a lot of the OB kits as they are so clean and refreshing during the summer months. The Cranberry Chianti is the wine I get the most rave reviews on from my friends.

For some reason I thought I remembered seeing a post with a recipe for candy cane wine on here. I did a search but came up empty handed - Google found a recipe tho - anybody ever tried it? Would it be the same as peppermint schnapps? ... Unwrap 8 packages of candy canes (~60 canes)...

what does black currant wine taste like? is it tart like the fruit? do you sweeten it at all? sounds interesting - do you use fresh fruit or canned?

My first attempt... This is the pumkin wine (Dog's nickname is Pumkin Princess - my friends understand - u may think im crazy) and my Pinot Noir I also have done a couple others - fairly similar, but Im not that creative - plus i tend to like simple labels

yeah - that sounds like a challenge what is Star San and why are you switching to it?

BOTH!! plus the antioxidants in wine - perfect food! George - do you have more of these in stock? I may have to make another batch - yes - it is THAT good!!!!

I have been using Na Meta for sanitizing as it is cheaper than K-Meta, but I dont thinik either one is any better - other than that u dont want to put Na Meta in your wine as all the sodium is unhealthy - but that is what they used to use instead of k-meta

Nice post handyman - I have already thrown out a couple of batches. Luckily I tend to bea clean freak so clean supplies should not be a problem. Patience is where I lack, but luckily I get so busy with work I usually dont get to do wine stuff as much as I want - which is probably for the better...
