    What's in your glass tonight?

    Oak Barrel Plunge

    Frank wants me to say that he still believes in your abilities @ovjock, and he's willing to bet again, if you do a thread on your next barrel project. I told him it would be better for him to just make an account and start supporting the forums. He's been making wine for over 40 years and he has...

    Finer Wine Kit Finer Wine Kits

    Oh no! I purchased the Sonoma Forte last week and now it is $20 cheaper. I'll make a note to wait for the big sale next spring, before I purchase any FWK.

    Oak Barrel Plunge

    I'm following this thread with interest, as I have a $100 bet going on with a friend of mine that you won't be able to put the barrel back together in a way that you can use it to hold wine. I'm basing this assumption on my previous experiences with recouping barrels, none of which worked out to...

    Need Advice on Black Currant Wine

    @Rice_Guy what cocoa or chocolate extract do you use? In my experience, the extracts I tried had an artificial (chemical) aftertaste even when diluted twice as much as the label recommended. The only success I've had so far was with cocoa nibs added to wine while aging in barrels...

    WineXpert Question regarding making WE Amarone Style private reserve

    To successfully use 2 different yeasts for added complexity you have to split the ferment and use one yeast for half of it and the other yeast for the other half. Then when fermentation is almost complete, recombine the split batch and age it together. I do NOT recommend you add two different...

    WineXpert Question regarding making WE Amarone Style private reserve

    I made the WE Amarone (Veneto) in the past and I also have 3 of them fermenting together right now in primary. I don't use the EC1118 that comes with the kit, I only use the RC212 which I buy fresh, because most yeast that comes with the kits is DOA. The purpose of the EC1118 is to finish...

    Glass or Plastic Carboy ?

    @Rice_Guy where do you buy EVOH bags from? I'm looking for different sizes that would accomodate my 8, 16, 22 and 44 gallon fermenters. I looked on Amazon but the search returned a lot of colostomy bags and nothing else usable for winemaking. I learned a little bit about co-polymers and I would...

    Another Swede!

    Welcome to WMT, @Merfenter ! You have an interesting avatar. Can you tell us more of the its story? Have you had any success with AI generated wine label designs? I'm asking because I may want to give it a try and I'm currious what guidlines/parameters to set and how detailed the instructions...

    Less is more? Your approach to wine making?

    @Jusatele you have options in Oregon that winemakers in the Midwest can only dream of. I've had many Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs and some of them were really world class wines. The quality and character of those wines is hard to find in any other Pinot Noirs produced in the US, and many other...

    Enolmatic vs. All in One wine pump

    +1 for the Premium bottle filler. I don't have the AIO but I use something similar that I built myself. I bought the premium bottle filler from Steve along with a few other accessories and it works great. One advantage that I incorporated in my build, that is not available with the AIO is...
