I like the Cab and Merlot. Not bad for a $10 wine.

Carambola, also known as starfruit, is the fruit.

Does anyone have a 1 gallon recipe for this?

I just think his bonus were pretty cheap. It would have been nice to show him doing some of the de-stemming or firmenting.

I used the GAS Getter. This is a nice devices. http://www.winegasgetter.com/

I am doing this kit from RJ Spagnols. Let me know how you make out. I just put mine in the primary today.

I am doing a WineXpert Napa Valley Stag's Leap District Merlot. Im ready to bottle. What corks would you recommend? I have a floor corker. What natural cork would you recommend?

Did you build this from plans? If so are they available?

What...You made no wine? Shame on you.

Just count the Carbs in the wine and adjust your insulin accordingly. Usually Red wine has approx 5 carbs per glass. White has a little more. I am diabetic and I adjust my insulin accoringly.

Just follow instructions from your Kit. Those are the best instructions you can use.

Do you guys recommend any vacuum pumps? Are there any under $100.00?

Do I need to degas my KIT wine if I age the wine in the glass carboy for 6 - 12 months? If I do need to...Would you recommend a vacuum pump? If so, will it implode my glass carboy and break? Thanks for your help.

Wine turned out OK...Each bottle gets better.

You can order a FermWrap heater for a glass carboy. You can also hook them up to a adjustable thermestat. You can see one here: https://morewinemaking.com/view_product/16674//The_FermWrap_Heater
