    WineXpert LE 15 Mosaic Red Shipped

    They said to pitch both at the same time....one type will bring out the different varietal character of the grapes and visa versa! Rob

    Thinking outside the box

    Hey Joe, Where do you get those containers to hold tour carboys? What's the dimensions? Been lugging mine around by holding bottom and around neck for the last 25 years...might be pushing my luck!

    All of the LE's that I have made in the last few years have been 18L. Hope this helps! Rob

    Can't comment on the Eclipse kits....I've yet to make one, but I can tell you that all of the WE LE's I have made have been very good. Aging is the key! Rob

    WineXpert Eclipse or Juice bucket?

    Unless those juice pails are fresh and 100% grape juice and not re-constituted, stick with the Eclipse.....you'll be much happier!

    Rotten egg smell

    Running wine through copper pipe is not the same as drinking water (neutral PH) wine has different PH levels that will react with copper. Don't know anything about Copper sulfate, maybe some one else can chime in. Rob

    Bottle of finished winexpert wine.

    I'm interested in making the Eclipse Forza, so I went to my LHBS and they gave me a 750ml bottle to sample before I buy the kit, so yes your local LHBS would be the place to try! Good Luck!

    How to bottle wine at home^^

    I've bottled 1000's of bottles of wine over the years and never had a problem with spoilage, have aged them from 6months to 4 years. I have never used k-meta to sterilize, just rinse them good right after drinking put them in a case lined with paper towels upside down to dry. I will check before...
