Does anyone have a personal wine making website to show off what you are working on, your wine making set up, etc? Would love to see it if you have it.

Just finished ordering a few labels for some of my wine I am finishing (I think designing labels is harder then making wine). Anyway, had a good idea too add to my next label order that I failed to do on this one. at the bottom of the label, add a small footnote saying: RECYCLE: please...

Needed some good listening material for the plane ride on my recent trip to Turkes. Found some great Podcast on iTunes that Jordan Winery put out on all aspects of their winery, wine making, corking, barreling, etc. Worth checking out.

Curious as to why some kits have your sprinkle the yeast on top and not mix in, while others have your stir it in gently?

Just bought a Rojo Encantando with Raisins. Realized I added the raisins during the initial fermentation when it said wait 24hrs after adding Yeast. What problems can i expect if any? Was gonna try and scoop them out but they were all at the bottom (and I was too tired).

I just started my 10th and 11th Kit. I must say there is a huge difference in the way the directions are written. Most are fairly straight forward and easy to read, but some... geeeez, you have to read through them 4 times and 3 steps ahead to follow them... and I was SOBER. These...

Been at this for about a month now and have 9 kits going and one beer kit. Getting overwhelmed & confused at keeping track of my schedule for each step of the process. I have been documenting everything in a log book and finally got a Calendar to hang up. Haven't really screwed...

Do reds show more fermenting then white wines? Started my first batch of a Green Apple Riesling 3 days ago. I have to check the sg vs when I started but there doesn't seem to be as much excitement in the pail as there were with my red wines. As long as my sg is dropping, I assume it means...

Is it worth saving the slurry from my primary of a skeeter pee? Or is sloppy seconds not worth anything?

Here are some pics of my 3 DB variations brewing. Got a Triple Berry, Quad Berry and Tropical Blend brewing. Smells awesome. Hopefully this is what it is supposed to look like. :br:? and my set up

Have my first batch brewing. What are your preferences on bottling and drinking? Wine Bottles or Beer Bottles or other? Having a hard time deciding which way to go

I started my first batch right before Christmas. I now have 9 batches of wine and 1 beer going. 4 red wines 1 Riesling 1 beer 3 Dragon Bloods: A quadBerry, a TriplBerry, a Tropical Blend 1 SkeeterPee and I want MORE!!!! Actually, I am also doing a full barrel of Cab at a Wine...

Can someone tell me what this is used for?

How many hours per week do you think you are spending on making wine? I have only been doing this for about 3 weeks and i am starting to see a lot of time put into this. Not complaining, it is a lot of fun and was looking for a hobby and I am now addicted. Most of my time now is rereading...

i plan on sticking to making wine kits and trying my hand at some SP, Dragon's Blood but not getting too crazy while I am still learning. What extra ingredients should I plan on purchasing so I can have everything on hand in case of an emergency or to start some basic non-kit wines? Or...

Bought my first bucket of juice, a Chianti, a few weeks ago from Corrados. Local wine supply. It came in a 5 gallon pail. No directions. The Guy gave me a package of yeast, said to add that to primary, beyond that he said I could do whatever I wanted as that is the fun thing about making...

been reading as much as i can. Have my second batch going. Winexpert World Vineyard Malbec. EVerything I have read is to do what the directions say. Also, everything I have read say TOP up after secondary fermentation (i think). Well, these directions say DO NOT TOP UP at this...
