Just started my first batch of Skeeter Pee. I am only doing a 1 gallon batch to start. Hope it turns out. It sure smells/tastes good right now. I added 3/4 can Welches white grape concentrate and 1 can of orange juice concentrate. It is sitting in the primary cooling down now. Either...

Does anyone know who the manufacturer of the wine kit is?
