I heat the water in a stock pot and then sprinkle the bentonite in while steadily mixing.

Thanks. I'm gonna give that a try this weekend

I believe that cmason1957 has got it right. Adding the fruit pack during fermentation will cause you to loose the flavor it would impart to the finished base wine. Also, I've been told that the sugar in the fruit pack is of a different type than what you want during fermentation. What had...

Wow! I think Ebay's shipping calculator is inaccurate. What is your zip code there. I want to see what the actual cost would be.

I have posted a few Mosti Mondiale Alljuice kits for sale on ebay for $99 plus shipping as well as some of the Vinifera Noble and Renaisance kits. I'm in Texas so the shipping to AZ should be feasible.

Since you're stepping up your volume I highly recommend you get yourself an All-In-One Wine Pump and use it to rack into glass carboys. You'll be degassing as you rack and you'll free up your tank for starting your next batch.

I've made multiples of both of those kits. They both turned out to be pretty good.

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. The shipping is what I'm trying to figure out as well. There has to be a better way of shipping these things than what the ebay shipping calculator is quoting. Would you mind sharing your source for the Meglioli kit? I see Ohio Home Brew has some 2019...

Hello, I am in the process of building an on-line store for wine kits and wine making products. More on that soon... In the meantime, I wanted to let y'all know that I've recently posted about 25 different types of Mosti Mondiale kits for sale on ebay. They can be found at the following...

I'm sure you're right about that. But if you just make the allotted 200 gallons per year and you drink less than 4 gallons per week you'll end up accumulating a pretty good inventory over time.

I wonder what would cause such a "visit" to occur. I would imagine that it would be due to someone selling the wine they make without a license or something like that. I don't recall there being a legal limit on how much wine you can personally own.

I know, right! Like who's gonna come and raid your house and if you make too much? It was the process that got me interested too. Homestly, I really didn't get too excited about wine until I started making it myself.

I agree with Rocky as well but I'm curious. How many bottles are you talking about? Is it all the same wine? Are you wanting to re-bottle it as your new brand perhaps? I've had that question myself having the opportunity to acquire 150 cases of 2014 Napa wines at a bargain price.

I am in Allen, TX - North of Dallas.

I had the same experience with the first kit I bought. I got it at a farmers market/hardware store and I didn't understand the date code either. It turned out to be seven years old. It was the kind that comes in a bucket. Once I took the lid off it was pretty obvious that the juice was too...
