tsk tsk tsk, such shameless grovelling for some free chocolate. Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves. Welcome Sebastian! (I like dark chocolate) Edited by: garyd

Earl- same as Masta I made it with 5 pounds granulated sugar. Add the sugar to 10 cups water and bring to a boil. Allow to cool and use this as part of your water addition to the kit juice. It will give you about 1.090 SG for a final alcohol around 12-13% Edited by: garyd

Earl, hey- I'm a newbie too. What was the rush in getting this to bottle? I started my first of 5 batches on October 21st, I haven't bottled or tasted any of it yet! I want my very first impression to be a good one- so I waited the extra days (as per Tim Vs 20-40-90 plan) and then racked to bulk...

tie die, peace signs, bell bottoms- firing up a doobie- ahhhhh the memories

Yikes!! Martina- how do you know what all these things taste like before you make them? Are they any good? Strawberry sounded good; raspberry, cherry, blueberry- sure- but rose hips and basil??? Edited by: garyd

Funny- I sent for a free copy at some web site- got it, and now they keep sending me copies even though I haven't paid yet!!!

Doug- that's the kind of info I was looking for- that good huh??

Thinking of starting a Barons Mexican style beer- anybody make these kits- any suggestions or tips, this will be a first after making wine kits. Edited by: garyd

Does everyone mix the sugar with water and heat before adding? I just added the sugar to my last kit, and it seemed to ferment ok like that, from 1.090 to .995 on a White Merlot WE Kit.

thanks George, had not thought of the added water later- great idea!!!!
