Hey nafarmboy! Welcome to the forums. I'm still a newbie, having made only a couple of kits so far. It's good to see a fellow North Mississippian here. I'm from Baldwyn myself. Again welcome!

I'm still new to it all myself, but I started making wine kits about a year ago. I thought of giving wine as Christmas gifts and would get a jump start on things. I went with a cheaper kit at first, a raspberry merlot. Not alot of aging needed and that's a good thing. I found myself wanting to...

I grew up in Odessa, Texas and graduated from Permian High School (Friday Night Lights era). I went to College at Tech as well. I now live in Mississippi where its all about Ole Miss and MS State. The bad part is I'm burned out on football. It could drive a man to drink! Hmmm...now that I think...

Thanks! Question though, as they become saturated, wil they drop or continue to float?

I didn't really need top top off, But I was a bit worried. Thanks all.

Well, either I did something amazingly good or amazinglybad. After only 7 days in primary fermentation, my SG now is .994.(OG was 1.084)I went ahead and racked it into the carboy. I also went ahead and added the acacia cubes. But now my timeline seems to be askew. Since apparently it's pretty...

+1 to Mike. I made the "how-to" video with WMM and the "promo" with After Effects, Premiere Pro, and maybe a little Photoshop thrown in for flavor

@ibglowing: here's what I've done so far on that video I was talking about. This was with After Effects and Premiere Pro.It still needs a little tweaking. I hope George will like it. http://youtu.be/NVw8p9rmPL8

Good to hear Tony, thanks. -David

Well, I hope it hasn't been ruined. This evening (day 2 of step 1) my brother came by and then without my knowledge, he added the packet of cubes that are to be added in step 4!He said I had missed those because the instructions say to add the oak now. Now what do I do? Should I leave them in...

I am biding my time by doing a just for fun project for the forum. I make no promises as to how good it will be.

Actually while I'd probably be laughed out of my TV station for using it, I just used windows movie maker for it. Normally I use Adobe programs like Premiere Pro and After Effects for my projects. but it seemed a bit over-the-top for this.

I know it's still all quite new to me for sure. I use the wine thief mainly so I get a "straight on" look at the hydrometer and I'm not looking down on it from an angle. But you're probably right and I'm over thinking it. -David

Thanks Tom I appreciate it. I had originally planned to make a big intro/opening for it, but when I started editing it, I figured that would be a little over the top. I now am working on changing it to just a promo for the forum. Ok it's just something to do to keep me busy while I wait! Gotta...

I just started the Yakima Chardonnay. After about 8 hours, it had a nice little foamy cap. Now, at approx. 24 hours, the cap has gone, but it is fizzing along just fine. I started a new topic on this under the Cellar Craft heading. Also I am recording my efforts this time around. Either because...

Thank you Rick. @vcasey, I know what you mean about needing something to do. I keep peeking under the lid just to make sure it was going ok. After about 10 hours it had a nice foamy cap on top. Now, at about 24 hours, the cap has dissapated, but is still fizzing away. I think I'll wait another...

Well, I have officially started my second batch of wine. It all seems to be going well.You can see what I've done so far here: http://youtu.be/mFvQ_ANEDyw The only question I now have is, Do I just let it do it's thing, or do I need to stir it everyday? It seems I remember the MM kit I did...

Now don't I feel like the fool! I went and placed an order on an out of stock wine! However, I called George this afternoon, and I'm now doing the Yakima Chard from Cellar Craft. I've read on here where quite a few people seem to enjoy it. Kathie, I will try to keep posting as often as I can...

I just wanted to say how grateful I am to all of the members here who helped me in my new hobby (addiction). It is really quite a fun expierence. I know it was only a "wine cooler" style, but I think thats what I needed for a 1st time, quick results. It really does taste good and now I'mworried...

Thanks Mike I truly appreciate all of you who are helping me make it through this. I'm really looking foward to tasting this. (Doh! Patience...)
