So excited! Our first try at wine making was a success! Our Late Harvest Riesling is beautiful, bottled and tastes FABULOUS! ...Granted, this wine was from a wine kit, but we did it without turning it into vinegar none-the-less! Yay for us :) ...the bottle with the gold shrink is our very first...

I put the k-meta and sorbate in our peach and plum wines tonight... I noticed our pkg. of sorbate said to add 3/4 tsp. per gallon. Just as an FYI, these packets are supplied by our brewer supply company so it's their own printed label on the pkg. of sorbate - so it's not any one specific brand...

Okay, so our plum and peach wines are both done fermenting. My 1st question is: Do we add the potassium sorbate now, or do we wait until we've racked a couple more times so that the wine is clear? (...we keep reading conflicting tips...) My 2nd questions is: We added the campden tablets...

Currently, we have a 5 gallon fermenter with a loose fitting lid that we are doing our plum wine in...it is fermenting like crazy, you can actually hear it and see it doing it's thing... We also fermented a wine-kit, late harvest riesling in the same fermenter 2 weeks ago - although it didn't...

Hello everyone! My husband and I love wine...all types of wine...probably too much :d So, we figured why not start making it? So, one night we talked about it and a week later we have 3 different batches fermenting! I would say "jumping in with both feet..." might be an understatement! At...
