@TXWINEGUY I won't be taking all of them; I only need 5. Thanks for the infor Sparky; I think I will look into that Wine and Grape class at Arborgate...sounds interesting if my "honey do" list isn't too big by the time the weekend is here...

Thank you sir for the info

I would like a few! Can we meet Saturday?

John, just curious but which supply store did you rent the press from?

I agree; I did months research on all tablets before I choose the Nexus 7 from Google that is made by ASUS and everything I read spoke about how solid the tablet was going to be. Plus with the specs it seemed it wouldn't be obsolete as soon as others.

Thanks mike, I will try that

Great info...will do! Also do I need to scale down the amount of bacteria since I only have a 1 gallon batch or just use the whole package? Also if I do need to scale down; how much? Thanks!

Thanks Mike! I will be racking from Primary to Secondary this weekend so sounds like a trip to the ol LHBS will be before that. The tasting notes I have read say the wine is pretty acidic so I think it will benefit from a MLF and will give it a try.

@Turock: Thank you for the information! I have read the write up on E C Kraus. @ all: those of you who know the Black Spanish/Favoriate grapes in your opinion would you believe this wine would benefit from MLF? For those of you who are not familiar with this grape it is written that it is...
