@TXWINEGUY I won't be taking all of them; I only need 5. Thanks for the infor Sparky; I think I will look into that Wine and Grape class at Arborgate...sounds interesting if my "honey do" list isn't too big by the time the weekend is here...

Thank you sir for the info

I would like a few! Can we meet Saturday?

John, just curious but which supply store did you rent the press from?

I agree; I did months research on all tablets before I choose the Nexus 7 from Google that is made by ASUS and everything I read spoke about how solid the tablet was going to be. Plus with the specs it seemed it wouldn't be obsolete as soon as others.

you can also get the Kindle App on any Android device and I have seen many learning apps offered for both apple and android.

I have the Google Nexus 7 by Asus and LOVE IT. I got it when they came out earlier this year. The Kindle Fire is pointless unless you have Amazon Prime account. Quad Core Processor, 12 core GPU (I believe), 1280X800 - 216 ppi graphics with IPS display, cloud storage, latest version of...

I am not; I didn't even know there were any. I was in Texas Home Brewers in Katy and the owner mentioned something about starting something. I signed up but haven't received an email.

Thanks, will test ph, ta and SO2, abv will be 12%

The only MLB I have access to is from Defalcos wine supply: Wyeast #4007XL Malo-Lactic Culture $7.99 - A liquid version of malo-lactic culture. This one is a blend of two different strains, one of which will operate in conditions as acidic as pH 2.9 and temperatures as low as 55 degrees...

Thanks for the info and what is used to test the progress of MLF? EDIT: I found it: Malolactic Chromatography Testing. the one I found was $65.00.

Thanks mike, I will try that

Great info...will do! Also do I need to scale down the amount of bacteria since I only have a 1 gallon batch or just use the whole package? Also if I do need to scale down; how much? Thanks!

Thanks Mike! I will be racking from Primary to Secondary this weekend so sounds like a trip to the ol LHBS will be before that. The tasting notes I have read say the wine is pretty acidic so I think it will benefit from a MLF and will give it a try.

@Turock: Thank you for the information! I have read the write up on E C Kraus. @ all: those of you who know the Black Spanish/Favoriate grapes in your opinion would you believe this wine would benefit from MLF? For those of you who are not familiar with this grape it is written that it is...

John, First off thank you so very much for the grapes; very kind of you! Also I have crushed and started primary fermentation. Should have enough for a gallon!

When is the best time to start Malolatic Fermentation? After Primary? After dry? Wait longer? This is my first batch of wine using grapes and also using Malolatic Fermentation. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! K

I am very interested; I still have my poor amount frozen. Let me know if you'd like some help with processing your harvest in return. I'm free this Saturday. PM me if so.

Sorry to hear that john... I lost all the Cab Sauv to the rain as well. Just curious but what kind of yield did you end up with?

I hear ya; we've been pounded just south of you in Katy as well! Seems I did right by harvesting what little I had a couple of weeks ago. Hope everything turns out great for you.
