Thanks for all your birthday wishes!

Can I make a secondary F-pack? I used 16lbs for my 3gal batch (actually more like 3.5gal) and after stabilizing,degassing etc. I added an F-pack made from 4lbs, but it still doesn't seem to have added a whole lot of flavor...is it too late/not advisable to whip up another f-pack? Or does the...

Thanks Barney! I guess I could just leave it be and check SG on two consecutive days each week and if it still hasn't moved in the next week or two, I probably go ahead and stabilize it....thanks for all your input!

Thanks for your suggestions! It has been at the same SG for almost a week now, I'm not sure if I should give it a couple more days...

Started this one on 4/14/10, using Bill B's recipe, adjusted to a 3 gal recipe, POM juice only: <DIV SuperAdBlocker_DIV_Elements="0" SuperAdBlocker_OnMove_Hooked="0" SuperAdBlocker__Hooked="0" SuperAdBlocker_DIV_FirstLook="0">5 gal 100% pure juice <DIV SuperAdBlocker_DIV_Elements="0"...

I am feeling a little rough, too....after I had a bottle of Orchard Breezin Citrus Ice Sauvignon Blanc last night...:dg :d

What a great looking batch, ibglowin! Do you always use the Vinbrite when you filter your wine? How does it work for you/how do you like this type of filter?

That is a mighty fine looking batch of wine you have there! I'm thinking about ordering one of those kits too and tweaking it. The addition of grape skins sounds good, but all I have are Primitivo grape skins from a RJSValpolicella kit (that I haven't even started yet) that I would like to...

I started the Orchard BreezinCitrus Ice Sauvignon Blanc on January 24 with a SG 1.075 (added half the F-Pack up front) and it has been fermenting away... However, I haven't seen any visible fermentation for the last couple of days and SG is at 0.998 as of today.If my SG reading doesn't change...

A bit north of Austin, Cedar Park/Leander area. Yeah, I can't wait to bombard you all with questions! I would like to go see George some time this year; when I realized that the "toy store" was actually located in Texas,my heart skipped a beat....oh joy!

After reading the posts for weeks now, I wanted to introduce myself and say "Hi!" to everyone and thanks for all the great info! I had my first brush with winemaking about five years ago, when my hubby started breaking into this hobby,but unfortunately the kits that I tried myself ondidn't turn...

Thanks for your advice! I know I will be back for more! Never thought winemaking could be so addictive ! Do you recommend to use the other half of the F-pack to backsweeten to taste at the appropriate time (after clearing and stabilizing, if I remember correctly)?

I am about to start on an Orchard Breezin Citrus Ice Sauvignon Blanc. This is my first fruit wine kit, meant to tie me over while myWE NZ Sauvignon Blanc and WE Lodi RachCab are aging.I'm thinking about upping the abv to about 10 to 11% by intiallyadding sugar and half the F-pack at the...
