    WineXpert Twisted Mist new flavors

    winexpert let me know through a DM on facebook that they would be releasing 6 new flavors of twisted mist kits this spring. 2 in March, 2 in April and 2 in May. They were going to post in February about the March flavors but I haven't seen anything. Has anyone else heard anything?

    WineXpert Island mist flavoring question

    My most popular wine among friends is the island mist peach apricot chard. A good friend wants me to make a batch for her wedding but wants me to “bump up the peach flavor”. How can I do this at the end along with the flavor packet? I live in west Texas so there are no wine making stores...

    Fontana tropical fruit.

    I know most aren’t fond of the Fontana kits but I’ve made several and my non wine drinking friends love the results from the fruit wine kits . Walmart carries a decent selection of the Fontana fruit but they are only listed on the site by the fruit flavor not the type of wine. Anyone have any...

    Fontana kit

    call me crazy but I love the Fontana kits. Last time I purchased one from amazon but the selection is poor. I live in Texas. Are there any online companies that sell and ship in the US. I did a google search but it didn’t turn up much. Thank you!!

    Trouble with kit

    Thank you for the help! It was just disappointing to not have a kit work like I thought it would. This is my first wine making failure so I guess I shouldn't be too upset. ~ Nicole

    Trouble with kit

    I’ve made many wine kits with no issues. I’m currently making the island mist green apple kit. Starting SG was 1.050. After 21 days it’s stuck at 1.000. 3 days ago I tried restarting it with E 1118 yeast. Still nothing. Room temp has been around 74-77. I’m at a loss on what to do. Is the kit...

    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    I have a question. I used 6 pounds of triple berry fruit and added 2 cans of white grape concentrate from old orchard. Otherwise I followed directions exactly. My starting SG was 1.075 and finished at .992. I've completed step 4 of the process two days ago and surprisingly my wine is already...

    Don't Brush Your Teeth!!

    Not all dentists are drill and fill. We encourage our patients to research the treatment we recommend, we also give patients many options for treatment, not just " you need a filling". It's too bad that people do have bad experiences, but to be quite truthful the dental business for most small...

    Don't Brush Your Teeth!!

    I work at a dental office :). Best thing to do is rinse your mouth after drinking acidic drinks. This dilutes the acid. You cannot rebuild enamel but you can (minimally) reharden soft enamel. Once you brush away your enamel it's gone for good.

    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    Thank you! I was wondering if it was too late to add more fruit, so it's good to know its not too late. I've also read that the wine could sit on fruit later in the process as well. I think Dave used blueberries, is this just preference or because other berries would disintegrate and cloud the wine?

    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    Started my very first batch of DB on Sunday. I followed the recipe exactly and used 6 pounds of fruit. Now after reading 45 pages of this thread I'm thinking I should have used more fruit. I'm looking for A LOT of fruit flavor. What can I do? It's been in the primary 3 days now. Starting SG was...
