Meh, I'll give it a daily spin and see how it goes. I gave it a quick spin yesterday like Atribune mentioned yesterday and not much moved. Seems like it is glued to the wall. @Mud: I'll check it out when I get home. I'm not sure if the instruction booklet will give that info...

Same here... love it.

Making wine is intense!! ::

OK so nothing to worry about then... We are cooking the RJ Spagnol Grand Cru Cabernet Sauvignon kit. It basically states to ferment in the primary until it reaches .997 (about 2 weeks) then degas and rack into secondary for another 2-3 weeks. After racking it, we noticed something that...

Hello Experts! Is this picture normal or is my wine simply ill? Click here if it does not load... I was thinking about moving it to the primary, clean up the carboy and move it back... But hesitation has taken over. :O( Hmmm...

I stopped at Subway in Salem when coming back from a job site in Hartford and, surprise, I was next to Rob's Homebrew shop. Walking in and walked out with Grand Cru's Cabernet kit. Never heard of that store but they have a pretty decent inventory. Anyways I started that one last night :O)...

Sounds good.

Bottled my wine! It tastes and smells pretty good, can't wait to see what it'll be like in a few months. Starting some Cabernet Sauvignon as soon as I get back from a somewhat big job in Schenectady. Anyone can recommend a Cabernet kit? happy new year all!

How did they sanitize everything 2500 years ago?!

Let's see.... I'm not 100% positive on this one but I think it is RJ Spagnols Grand Cru International Collection Washington Merlot.

I'm really not sure how must the carboy can hold... I know for sure the bucket is 6 gals. We'll see, I'm sure it'll taste ok and do its job :O). I'll adjust this after clearing with a similar wine like Tom mentioned... The kit calls for Water but I don't know about that...

I didn't drink it I swear! That's what I figured so I left it as it. This is RJ Spagnol's Merlot.

.... Or personality. Gave it an old metallica shirt!

Niiice! Adding some character to the wine :0)

Team, Should my carboy be sitting in a dark room like the basement or it is fine in the dining room (facing south) where occasional sun comes through? Thanks !
