I have had the standard model for about 2 yrs. and it has worked very well. I haven't used the filter yet ,but will soon. I e-mailed Steve a question and got a prompt phone-call back. Great customer service. I can recommend this product.

yes please, let it be me:D

I made a M.M. torrentes kit and it came with a grape-pack and a lb. of rasins. I used the grape pack and now have a 1 lb. bag of wine rasins.I thought of adding them to a less expensive kit or even a W.E. island mist kit. Any suggestions?

green apple might be nice

Thanks for the advice. Will add dap as suggested.

Today I picked up my Sav.Blanc. grapes from George at The Wine Makers Toy Store in Carrolton Tx.We crushed and pressed on site. I ended up with about 71/2 gal. of must.sg1.098. acid titrated to about .5%. I added 1 oz. acid blendto bring it to about .65%. I am using 2 kit fermenters 1/2 full...
