    That is a great question that I have no idea the cost. The back story is I don't sleep well, so I'm laying in bed thinking of stupid stuff instead of concentrating on going to sleep so one thing leads to another. The MAKER 3 cost me about $400 on sale at the time, smart vinyl is $30+ but I...

    I watch this cam ALL THE TIME. I'm not sure the eggs are going to be viable this year.

    Nomacorc

    I recently purchased 1,000 Noracorc select green 500 series which is an upgrade from the 900's. The 500's are a scooch longer than the 900 series and my new #1 cork. I also keep my bottles upright for storage. At $165 for 1,000 quality corks it was worth the cost. Actually one of the best...

    WineXpert Island Mist Apple kit .... adding cinnamon?

    With just the right amount of cinnamon the BAD APPLE was bottled this weekend. This will be a winner!

    Other Tweeking Cheap Kits

    I have added 3-4 whole peppercorns to several 6 gallon kits as it bulk ages in a glass carboy for 6+ months and it gives just enough hint of peppery notes. It seemed 1-2 peppercorns didn't do much but 3-4 is just right for me. I'm chicken to add more than 4 to 6 gallons of wine as I think I've...

    We will be back home March 2nd and probably in time to catch the last of the cold weather in Indiana but for now it's sunny skies in South Florida. Wine production ramps up again in a few weeks!

    Carboy playtime

    Love it ... I've done the same with tape but you've taken it to a new level. Gotta say "I'm stealing this idea".

    Corks?

    My only question is what is written on the middle of the package Best Use Within 1 Year of Production Date?

    Corks?

    My purchase from Carolina Wine Supply last week. They are longer than my Normacorc 900's ..... My next bottling will be end of March so stay tuned!

    Corks?

    Nomacorc 500 large box arrived today and it was a pleasant surprise to see them longer at 1- 3/4" instead of the usual 1- ½" .... these just look like beefy corks!

    Finer Wine Kit Finer Wine Kits

    So ... the laugh of the day might be this post! 🤣 I'm going to ramp up wine production in March, but other than what I'm reading on Google, not sure if I should be buying the FWK Tavola Merlot or the FWK Tavola Sangiovese Merlot? Guessing its more than a $9 difference in wine kit price but...
