I have made a few batch's of welches white grape peach wine. I generally follow the recipe found here but I use the bottled juice instead of frozen concentrate. I have always got rave reviews from this wine. I am currently getting ready to make a 3 gal batch (the only currently empty carboy)...

So the other day my dad stopped by and piked up my mail which included a catalog from Northern Brewers. Now he has decided that I should brew him a batch of beer. With all my wine stuff I believe I have most everything covered. I also have a few cases of beer bottles, capper, and caps. My...

Anybody ever purchased from Adventures in Homebrewing? I have been thinking about getting a corny keg setup and they seem to have a good price. Just wondered if anyone had experience with them http://www.homebrewing.org/Homebrew-Kegging-System-PIN-LOCK_p_1763.html

Well I came home and discovered I had made my first batch of Sparkling wine this afternoon. Fortunately it was a white grape peach, so the carbonation complemented the flavor. Luckily only 1 bottle blew a cork so far. I passed a couple bottles out to the neighbors, guess I know what I...

You can only choose 1. Put on your tinfoil hat and pretend the zombie apocalypse is here. If there were only one manufacturer of wine kits left tomorrow who would you want it to be.

Anybody ever used welchs concentrate that Comes in a soda type can? Says it is 100% juice with only sulfites added. I found a bunch of it for $.60/can. Deal or no deal?

Been racking my brain, but am busy with other things. Its one of those months. A buddy of mine wants to get into wine making. He will be doing only kits. I have a vacuum pump and a floor corker which he is going to borrow in exchange for wine. For equipment I am recommending to him the...

Anybody made this kit? I saw one in my LHBS today on the shelf it looks to be about 8Mo old. I was kind of surprised to see a kit there normally they are special order only. I understand it was a limited release kit last year. Should I pick it up for $60

Does anyone have any experience with these? Saw a ad for these this afternoon, and was just wondering if anyone had any experience using them. They appear a bit more expensive than a airlock and bung. http://vintable.com/bungs/siliconebungs.html

I was looking at some key lime juice it has 1/10 of 1% sodium benzonate. Do I need to keep shopping or could I use this for key lime skeeter pee?

There seems to be several variations on the original skeeter pee recipe such as key lime, lime, etc. What other flavors have you been successful with? Without posting the whole recipe what did you substitute to make your successes?

A friend of mine presented me with this kit as a gift, knowing that I was getting into making wine. I will probably give him a few bottles back when I get it made, so I am hoping that it will be drinkable. I understand from my reading up on it that it might be a little on the weak side...

I am making a 3 gal batch of pear wine from a Vintners Harvest Can. I am getting ready to rack it, and will need to do some topping up. A friend of mine has a juicer (a Jack LaLanne knock off) that I can borrow. I am thinking about juicing a handful of pears and using this for topping up...

It looks like I may be heading down to St. Louis one day next week. Any great winemaking store that I should hit up while I am down that way?

What number of Avery labels does everyone use for their wine bottles?

I swung by my semi local shop today and noticed that they had portuguese floor corkers for $59 out the door. Is this a good price? I am on my iphone at the moment, heading into a meeting so i can't web search too much. If its a good deal I might swing back by on my way out of town. Thanks...

I happen to live near a large producer Dextrose. Is it possible to use Dextrose in place of cane Sugar. I realize that it takes more Dextrose than Sugar to sweeten. But I may be able to get Dextrose at a significantly cheaper price than cane sugar thru the company store. I haven't looked into...

This is my first 6 gal batch. Everything has seemed to be going fine until I racked my Apfelwein from the secondary to a fresh Carboy for ageing. When I took my measurements I came up with a PH of 4.5. I then added 3ml NaOh to achieve a reading of 8.2 which by my math should give me a .225...
