Thanks! I've ordered a 23L pail of the chenin blanc so we'll see how it goes

I would like to try making a kit white wine and have access to a pre order for Mosti Mondiale. Does anyone have experience with their whites (or rose.. I could try a rose too) and have a favorite? Locally one of my favorite whites is a chenin blanc. Has anyone tried this kit?

Interesting, honestly I find everything I've read about mlf a bit overwhelming. Everyone does something different. These grapes were grown in bc, Canada, no idea the variety. Is there any harm in doing mlf if it isn't necessary for this type of grape?

Thank you! Thank you for this! We will be doing mlf in the next day or so but need to pick it up. Is it a requirement or will the wine develop ok without? I've read so many mixed opinions. There are no funky smells. Hubby works in water treatment and based on his treats and sniffs we are all...

No idea what kind of grapes they are. Inherited from a 90 year old man who said he brought the vines over from belgium 10 years ago and that they make a good "bathtub" wine. They come across similar to take grapes but are sweeter? Not sure honestly

Thank you! The taste currently reminds me of a grape sour beer without the carbonation? If sour is normal than its good to go

To add we just tested the pH which is at 3.6. Unfortunately we didn't have the equipment to test pH prior to fermentation

This may be a silly question but this is my first attempt making wine. How should a red wine taste after primary fermentation? I am not positive the type of grapes, the Brix levels initially were quite low (around 18) so I raised them to 22 using sugar. Left in primary fermentation until brix...

Following your journey! I just pressed 85lb of a 'mystery' grape. I was told by the previous owner that he has no idea what they are but that he brought them over from Belgium 10 years ago and that they make good bathtub wine hahaha. To me, they look like a variety of table grape but who knows...

Yea you bet! Currently growing just outside of Vancouver, BC, Canada

Hey Everyone, I recently acquired a large allotment garden with some grape vines. I spoke with the previous owner of the plot who said that he brought these grape vines over from Belgium about 10 years ago but he couldn't remember the variety. Said he used to make wine in his bathtub with it...
