I was trying to figure out a way to repurpose the styrofoam boxes so still holding onto three on a shelf in the barn.

Do me a favor and keep us posted on the black currant. I placed an order with LP yesterday but it did NOT include the black currant which was on sale and now I'm kicking myself a little this morning. Your kit came with two conditioners and I wonder what your thoughts will be on the wine at...

Considered naming one of my wines "Dirty Harry" because in his famous movie there is a line of : "go ahead, make my day". This wine really does make my day!

Oh that is great news. I already have my bottles ready and its on day 2 of fermentation. Yep, a bit excited about this! 😛

Started my FWK Grenache Rose yesterday / today. Its my first experience with carbon and thanks to past posts & Bryan I was extremely careful to avoid the carbon dust disaster. I'm at 1.090 sg and according to the instructions it should be 1.070 - 1.080 and I was at 6 gallons exactly. Made...

Dragons Blood was the same way with my family and friends. Everyone wanted to say it over and over again! 😁

Bad four letter word SNOW! 😆

I've printed labels with "Bitchin' Black Cherry", "Badass Blueberry" & "Rockin' Raspberry" or "Bodacious Blackberry". I like the way you guys are thinking. It just makes this whole wine thing MORE FUN! 😁

Hey .. lets keep this going. Any updates on the Peach, Black Currant or Cherry would be appreciated. I'll be looking to buy another FWK soon enough and any information you guys give is useful. 👍

I used a mason jar last Thursday when I pitched for the FWK Pinot Noir and it seemed to work just fine, compared to the wine bottle I used for the Frutta blackberry.

I don't have the experience to compare the FWK to much of anything! :slp Feel like I've been walking in the dark making fruit flavor kits by the letter of the instructions and didn't really understand this process until I joined WMT in Oct 2022. The lights are on for me and I understand so...

I think the Black Currant could be good. Its great they are coming out with different wines. Started my FWK Pinot Noir today and next weekend I'll start a FWK Grenache thats in the refrig! If they come out with a FWK raspberry I'm all in on that one.

I appreciate everyone who has contributed. Its interesting to see everyones opinion and routine. :)

Based on what I'm reading here there is nothing to worry about. :) I'll start my two refrigerated FWK this weekend and just follow the directions. The Grenache & Pinot Noir - no skins. Basic, simple, and reasonable for a newer winemaker branching out a little. Remember, I've only been...

I have one FWK bulk aging and two other FWK in the refrigerator I was going to start this weekend. Is there something I should know or do different before I start my kits this weekend? Did you have a bad experience with FWK?

I have been told you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning however I'm not that dedicated. Don't want to drink everyday but those days when I'm having an adult beverage I usually hold off until 3pm. Do you set a time?

I used some LD Carlson yeast nutrient from Label Peelers when I made my Dragons Blood .... not sure its necessary but I used a little.

IDK ... we are at the winery in Florida and they gave us some chocolate and the coffee wine 2oz or so. "Take a bite of chocolate, take a swig of coffee wine, take a bite of chocolate in that order" and IT MUST BE IN THAT ORDER according to the hostess behind the counter. So we did as...
