    WineXpert Bravado Super Tuscan

    I sure hope this wine continues to develop. Started this kit 11/30 and it is very fruity. Even with the oak in the kit I think this might need more oak.

    Cellar Craft Add Kmeta before bottling?

    I am about to bottle my CC Cab. I added the kit Kmeta 10/3, and I added more on 12/3 when I racked. Should I add more before I bottle?

    Lots of fluffy lees for sure. I ended up losing almost a half gallon when I racked.

    WineXpert Eclipse Nebiollo

    Nebbiolo is one of the most high tannin grapes on the planet. Without an absolute butt load of oak, it takes years and years of aging to become even remotely pleasurable to drink. Go buy a young bottle of Barolo that isn't aged in new oak and you will see what I mean.

    Do commercial producers use an artificial oak flavoring?

    Chemical use is different. Almost every chemical/mineral you use in wine is regulated.

    Do commercial producers use an artificial oak flavoring?

    Aging wines, and tweaking wines are two different things. If the wine is to be oaked, most certainly they will bulk age in oak barrels. That doesn't mean they won't tweak with oak powder, liquid smoke or liquid oak before bottling. There are no wine laws in the United States that require...

    REVIEW: *allinonewinepump*

    Finally got to using mine after having it for a couple of months. Racked/degassed my Super Tuscan and used the headspace eliminator. Very easy to use for the first time. I should be using it for bottling here in the next couple of months.

    Also, I don't plan on using any clearing/fining agents on this kit. Anyone else skipped them all on this kit?

    WineXpert Bravado Super Tuscan

    Mine is sitting at home hopefully all finished fermenting as it has now been 8 days. I get back home in 3 days and I will get that wonderful juice over to the carboy. This is the first time I have put the oak in the mesh baggie so I am hopeful for that helping. Also my AIO showed up too so I...

    Other Rhone Kit Qs: Vieux Chateau du Roi vs. GSM vs...?

    Does that concentrated kit flavor mellow out eventually to become a drinkable nice wine?

    Other Rhone Kit Qs: Vieux Chateau du Roi vs. GSM vs...?

    I am doing the CC Sterling GSM. It is bulk aging at the moment. To be honest I am not super duper excited about it yet. Hopefully aging helps.
