I have 12 carboys full of wine in various stages and my primary fermenters were emptied today. FedEx will deliver 2 FWK's tomorrow and alleviate that issue. However I look up at my storage racks and I see 1 junky 6 gal plastic carboy and 2 3 gal Better Bottles, gee I could shove 2 more kits...

Anyone else notice that they seem to have gone out of stock everywhere. Any idea what's up with that? Found one place - 3000 minimum, think I'll wait

Is the forum actually buying a server or is this, I assume, a fee to get us loaded on a larger and more powerful server? Just curious

Wondering if anyone has used HC and/or PEC5L? Scott claims these enzymes help decrease turbidity & aids in filtering, I assume by making the solids drop instead of remaining suspended. Maybe instead of K&C. I've been making the FWKs without any of their chems. My wife, who has an excellent...

FWK introduces the Winery Series! - Apx 61L - 77L depending upon the version. Able to order up to 12 skin kits and a pound of seed. Thank the Lord that I just do not have room to scale up to this size, it will keep me sane.

I have two 6.5 gallon glass carboys and one 6 gallon glass. No shipping so has to be pickup and I can meet you. These are free to any member that wants them.

I know the advertised size is 5.3 gal, but is that measurement to the neck, shoulder or where? Mainly I'm wondering how much does this fermentor hold. Rated for 5.3 gal but will it actually hold 6?

Glass 6-gallon. Fortunately it was just after cleaning so no wine was lost - whew. Slipped as I was putting it back on my shelf. I have excess Better Bottles so I think I'll replace it with that, it's much lighter and plus when I see empty carboys I want to fill them! Thinking I might want...

5 more new kits dropped into pre-order status today! Quatre Blanc - Forte Greater Australia Red Blend - Forte & Tavola Cheverny White - Tavola Sucree Blanc - Tavola

Title says it all - received email this morning and ordered one.

Fortunately in Texas we can buy 190 proof, otherwise I'd have to use other means to obtain it. I use it for fortifying port or sherry like products. Being 190 a little goes a long way. My wife uses it to strip lemons of their oils and flavors to make Lemoncello. You do have to remember to...

Messing around a while back and wife was wanting some port. I wanted a white port and a batch of FWK Sav. Blanc was nearing the end of it's bulk aging. On bottling day I pulled off a gallon into a jug. I added 1C 190 proof, 1/2 tsp pecan flavor, 1/2 tsp caramel flavor, and 1/4 tsp of bourbon...

Gone is the large styrofoam box, now we have a bubblewrap thermal bag. Smaller shipping footprint also. Shipped on Tuesday, arrived in South Texas today (Thur) around 10am. Temp inside bag is 57*. Wine, skin, and ingredients bags are still the same. Well done FWK, less trash.

Made a pindo wine last summer. If you don't know, pindo is a palm tree that makes a sweet, tasty fruit that can be made into a jam. You can taste the pindo, but it's not really good. I just mashed up a bunch of the fruit in a water/sugar mix and fermented it. Maybe I should have used a white...

I have empty primaries, I need a sale!

@BigDaveK Your next adventure awaits

Well they are back, Merlot didn't have one, but the Sangiovese did. Let me state - I hate them as much now as I did before. Pulled in the direction of the arrow, nothing happening. Got some pliers and pulled in the arrow direction, only succeeded in ripping the pull tab right off. Ended up...

A request Matteo - I prefer the bags you are using now verses the pre-supply chain issues bags. I don't have to struggle with the pull off tab. Hopefully the bags you are using now are cheaper so that it will be an easy decision to keep using the cap-only bags. And on a side note - my 5...

I saw on a website I won't mention that RJS is making serious changes to their line up. Grand Cru line is gone. Cru Select (which I make for my table wine) is going from a 16L kit to a 12L kit & En Primeur is going from 18L to 14L. Cru International is going to a 8L kit. Restricted Release...
