Yes, it sure is! And Oak Valley is what "Ogden" means.

Thank you so much! That's what we were leaning towards trying! Is there a way to make the alcohol content higher?

I spent only a few mins doing this but love how it turned out for our first!

Would love to try and do something fruity and a tested favorite among you vets! Can anyone point me to a recipe you love?

So, I reattached the collection ball and allowed for it to fill up and I ended up dumping it. There was just a small amount of sediment but it was very murky. I then took a sample from the bottom and it was clear so I think it needed to just be racked before bottling. I will probably leave it...

Sure don't... Just the fast ferment system that our brew shop recommended over the glass carboys.

So if I get a sample from the top, it is clear but from the bottom, it is still very murky. I will put the collection ball back on and dump that amount and see if it's clear after that.

I was sweating it but I got home to look and you all were right! 1.020 is the correct reading! Just keeping y'all on your toes and just want to make sure you really know what you're talking about before I take your advice :) So some more details... Wine brand is Winexpert Vinters Reserve Pinot...

My husband and I are both wine drinkers who love wine but hate it dry! We love the flavor of a Pinot but we can never find a good sweeter red wine so we were trying to make our own. Anyone familiar with Roscato? That's our favorite wine. And I hate to admit it but our reading is in fact 1.200

Hi all! On our first batch of wine using a kit as well as a FastFerminter. We started with a Pinor Noir. Our hydrometer readings are as follows: 1st- 1.085 2nd- 1.000 3rd- .996 After the 3rd and final reading, we cleared the wine and also back sweetened it along with adding our...
