    Gift for mom

    I'd give either of the kits above a try if you are willing to go that route for a sweeter wine. I have the raz peach (I think that's it) currently sitting right now after adding the f-pack few weeks back. Haven't tasted it since sweetening, but I did tweak this a bit with more sugar and a...

    RJ Spagnols 2017 Restricted Quantity (RQ) Program Cut off Oct.12 2016

    No rush here but I believe in HBS newsletter email yesterday it said that the first shipment of Jan (cab franc) should be coming in next week. But from what i saw on another post, the cab franc is released since someone was making it on FB. So just HBS seems to be getting their order a little...

I was considering just adding some fruit to it (similar to tropical dragons blood)...

    My advise from starting this hobby back in July/August. Unless you are getting a kit, which isn't a bad idea when starting off, get a 7.9g brew bucket. I bought a kit that came with a 6.5g big mouth bubbler, then 2 more fermonsters when I had a bit of an issue with the fermentation wanting to...

    Other Tweeking Cheap Kits

    My kits arrived last week, currently on the shelves but would like to get one started shortly, just not sure which. My initial reaction was that the boxes are rather small vs the other kits I've ever done, but that's of course expected. Has anyone thought of tweaks for either? From my reading...
