Hello all, I have decided to try a batch of wine that is not a kit, and from scratch. more than anything, just so I can say I have done it. I decided to try one I had never seen before, and went with Oranges. I researched a recipe and it is as follows: 8-9 Oranges 1/2 pint of white grape...

well, i have not seen any sediment in any of the bottles so far...not sure if that is a good thing now...

Well, I don't have any prior experience to say if it was a lot or not. I thought that it was though. My wife and I were both amazed at the amount of solids that were suspended in grape juice and filtered water.

lol, I only know one other person in Calgary making wine, and I already owe her a few bottles. see above for the wine kit brand. I have actually been looking for a new primary fermenter, one that I can put the lid on tight, and use an airlock. the one we have, we just have to rest the lid...

lol, this could probably be arranged.

while I suspect you are right, the kit we purchased stated it would be ready in 28 days. we are now about 8 weeks in, and it seems to be doing well!

Thanks! We were a little, ok, A LOT worried when we went to bottle the Cab Sauv. We followed the directions down to the T with the exceptions being on day 18 do this, we went by the SG. At the bottling stage, it advised us to try the wine, and quite frankly, it tasted horrible. My wife...

We are making a "California Cabernet Sauvignon" and an "Italian Chardonay" We bought both in a complete starting kit from a company called "Vino Europa". The whole kit is called "Vino Europa complete winemaking kit 3".

Sorry for the lack of a response, I was in a pretty bad car accident, and wife had our baby, so life has been a bit crazy. Thanks, we went ahead with the next steps and followed the SG of the wine rather than the instructions and did a lot of researching on the net.

Greetings all! My wife and I decided to try making wine to give to our friends for christmas presents this year after hearing multiple times how easy it is to do. We purchased a beginners wine kit that included everything but the bottles. We have been following the instructions diligently...
