I received a kit today from LP. When I open the shipping box, inside was the eclipse box kit that I ordered but the eclipse box was open already. Labels are missing. Now I would like to verify if I even have the right juice. I didn't take the bag out of the box yet. Is there a stamp or marking...

Hello I posted this issue in the october wine of the month thread but I am making another thread just for more exposure... http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/f5/october-2014-wine-month-club-46988/index2.html I am doing this recipe: I pitched the yeast on Monday evening. Don't know if...

I am looking for someone who has seen this white stuff before and could identify it. I noticed this so far in two different wines: dragon's blood and this white grape peach wine. I have not seen it in my kits wine but I didn't use clear bottles for any of the kits that I have made so perhaps I...

Hello I discovered two issues with my dragon blood that I bottled in March. I followed the original recipe. Back sweetened with 6 cups of sugar and bottled a week after. Everything was clear and seemed stable at the time... well except there was a slight fizz into the wine which I attributed...

For weeks I have been looking for a cheap solid way to build a wine rack and I think I accomplished just that. Simplest idea I could think of: shelves with small slope (2%) so that via gravity wine bottles can't move along the shelves when a shelf is almost empty. Most if not all of my wine...

Lately I have been doing the 5-20-40-90 Tim Vandergrift schedule on two WE reserve kits. At the 40 day mark when I rack for the second time into a clean carboy I notice some air bubbles getting trapped in the carboy as I fill it up. When I was done I used the drill attachment for a couple...

I have one of these primary fermenters that comes with most kits. 5 gal outside mark and 6 gal mark inside at the ridge. I used it twice now and each time it felt like I had a lot left in the primary after racking in the carboy. I finally decided to measure how much really is 6 gal and sure...

Went to my local store today and asked for a red that requires the least amount of aging in bottles. Coastal red was recommended to me. Since this will be my first red and only second batch overall, I have been looking for wine ready to drink. Did not know much about this so I hope it was the...

Anyone who made island mist wines tried some of the arbour mist wines sold in stores and could tell if it s comparable? I bought a few arbour mist bottles to taste before buying a batch of island mist. I opened the exotic fruit white zinfandel and neither my wife or I could finish it... I guess...

Anyone selling empty wine bottles in the wny area? Or anything else of interest (carboy...) let me know Thx

After months of reading forums like this one, I finally bought my starter kit today with a WE Reserve Sauvignon blanc kit. I just sent the kit to primary fermentation except that right after I added the yeast I realized that I never "stirred vigorously for 30 sec" per the instructions...
