I know this is an old post but is this still available?

Hi we're new to the state of New Hampshire coming from Colorado. We had a supplier of fresh grapes down in Denver that we used and trusted for many years. Now here in doing an online search I'm finding a place in Massachusetts that sells but didn't sell this year and a place in Connecticut. Are...

So I purchased this kit after talking to you and took it through its process. Added the entire f pack when called for and after calculations to take the abv up to 20% added a bottle of brandy. Let that set to its next racking and it's now bulk aging for awhile. Initial tasting was great but ws a...

Hey Rich, Well I see you didn't get any answers to your questions. I too have a WE Choc. Ras kit coming. Can you answer your own questions for your process? How were the flavors?

Do yourself a favor and invest $20 and get the brute. Punching down in buckets as I did my first time is a PITA. The mess (which is inevitable) is contained in the brute. Plus your not having to do testing out of each bucket only one. ML is added to only one not all three. You'll be happier in...
