Thats what got me to buy this one.

1/2 f pack and 3lbs of sugar? What was your SG?

This is from George's email... </span><div style="text-align: left; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px; color: rgb(254, 74, 0); font-size: 18pt;" align="left">Summer Breeze and Orchard Breezin'</span> <div style="text-align: left; font-family...

Just purchased the Summer Breeze and had a question for you guys. I have ordered the Orchard Breeze in past but it tends to be too sweet and has low Alc content. So I always added half the fruit at the beginning. However I have read with the summer breeze it has a high Alc. and tends to not be...

For me I never have done a Mosti kit. However I have done many CC and WE kits. The main difference I have found is I get better consistent wines from CC compared to WE. My favorite so far is the Old Vine CC. Compared to actual wine it all depends. I like the kits because I can get a good wine...

Curious what the difference is in adding half before and after Ferm. or just adding half later at the end versus the whole F pack? I like to raise the alc. on these kits by adding sugar. I just purchased the Pinot Spice Plum for Christmas presents.

I played around with it today by adding some left over blackberry from a OB kit (merlot blackberry). I added it to a glass while racking it and was amazed how good it tasted for being so young. It has a great nose but lacked some body because it was a little tart. The sweetening of the...

I plan to start the sorbate and k meta tomorrow after going to George's to pick up sorbate. Then in 2 weeks do the sweetening. Then bottle around Christmas to March. All depends on time and if I want to let it rest for a while but not too long.

I racked today. Should I add the k meta today and not tomorrow when I add the sorbate. Or just wait till tomorrow to add both k meta and sorbate? Just dont know if 24 hours will hurt it without k meta.

Thanks. I will get some while I am out tomorrow and will just rack today.

Can I add sorbate in about a week after sweeten it? I dont think I have sorbate on hand but have k meta.

What does the Sorbate do?

Thanks.... How much k meta?

How do you back sweeten a wine? I should know the answer to this but honestly I dont since I never back sweetened one. I like dry wines. I am only wanting to add about 1% of sugar to my 5 gallon batch. I am trying for a white Zin taste.

I am actually in the process of purchasing some more from Rakgrape.

Here is a good page to look over... http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/extension/fruit/piercegrapes/pdr.html

Well you do have the humidity to worry about more so than myself. Also be aware whatever you pick that is resist diseases that are caused by humidity. The big killer will be PD like I mentioned before. I would probably go ahead and get an order in for vines fairly soon. I would buy less than...

Cynthia is another one you see around here from time to time. I know many people that believe BDB is great and can say I enjoy it.

I finished making this kit. I only added about 3/4 of the blackberry because I added it to taste. If you plan to make an OB I would recommend this one.

Well I am in the middle of two stages. What I mean is I have a small vineyard about 1.5 hours away from my house on some family land. Family lives in this area and we just tend to go spur of the moment since we have some small kids. All the fruit from this ones has been picked already. My house...
