I need to buy 4 plants. Merlot grape. If you have to sell or know of a source please let me know

Lime skeeterpee. Have back sweetened. Followed to the t it's just really lime tasting I guess from the key lime. Has aged about 6 Mtsc now it taste great other than the heavy lime taste. Just wanted to soften that part down

Taste it then match your thoughts not knowledge of ingredients to a name

I made a lime margarita per the recipe found here. It's really tart and strong in line flavor. But I'd like to tone it down. What can I do? It's so strong that it's not drinkable in taste not alcohol Too twangy.

It racked fine. Lost about half gallon. One more rack and it should be good

Update, it has settled down to about 1" in the bottom will let it rest and rack, glad I had a extra 3 quarts after filling the jug

Will do that thank you

Been about 4 hours since I added and mixed, just looked at it and it has settled but looks like 4 inches in a 5 gallon carboy,maybe it will drop

Made the batch, great,but something strange.. Most everyone I let try my stuff likes sweet wine, some sweeter is better for them, but my db is dry, 1.000 sg, it's 3 months old now, why is it giving the impression of a sweet batch, I usually back sweeten to 1.04 for those that want it sweet, but...

All I found made no reference to dark or light brown sugar, I used dark and am now worried about the strong dark flavor with dark bs . Any thoughts, did I screw up ?

When we all allow our wines to settle out, rack off and continue to age in the bulk 5 gallon containers, after sitting for a couple months, does our wines settle out ,or stratify ? Is the top of the batch same as the last inch above the lees in taste and content? I know we don't shake or...

So far I know now why most don't try this, first separating the mush from seeds and skins, like peanut butter with kyro added ,what a nightmare, then from primary to secondary 2 hours sifting pulp ,,,note to self use a bag next time,,,,, now it's slowly settling and coming to the end of...
