Excellent! Thank you for the reply!

Hi everyone, it's been a busy year and I have managed to make 3 great batches of wine (rj kits). I made 2 pino gris kits and 1 cab rj spagnols kit. My questions are, now having a general knowledge about wine making is I want to take a step to fresh juice buckets from Corrados Lodi Gold brand...

That's a beautiful thing!:b

Yes! Now I can see how you guy's have such an inventory of wine! I'm sure I'll be building a monster wine rack soon

This is my fist real kit. Rj Spagnols Grand Cru Pino Gris

And 1 more. I'm officially hooked!

Well, I bottled this kit last night. It was perfectly clear, and tasted AMAZING for such a young wine. My wife said it already tastes better than Cavit Pino Grigio! I guess there are good things to come. I will try to attach a pic of the finished product with my label! :b

Wade, I'm I agree 100% with this. I imagine most people think that if the fermentation is very slow or taking longer than specified in the kit, they think something may have gone wrong. The instructions seem to have a "window" if fermentation time. It would be impossible to list in the...

I just finished pitching the yeast on a RJ grand cru international cab sauv kit with grape skins. The must was right on the money and the grape skin pack smelled OUTSTANDING! If this finishes half as good as the aromas, must and grape skins, I think I'll be making more of this one! :r

Welcome and have fun! This is a great place to be!

That; exactly what I bought Tom. I'm not sure if I would buy juice like that again especially after making (in progress) an Rj spagnols pino gris kit which looks amazing after only 10 day's. I'm sure that many people have good luck with the 6 gallon juice buckets though...:a1

Thanks Wade, yes it was a juice bucket kit (about 44 bucks) so it was a "lower end kit" so to speak. I guess I'm on target then. Also, the RJ pino gris kit that I'm making seems right on the money. Well like I said, the merlo was my forst batch and I didn't want to spend too much money for the...

And, just to clarify by body I mean the actual color of the wine. It does not taste bad at all and I'm sure that will improve my main concern is that I could have done something wrong. Like I said before, this is my first batch of wine so if it's not perfect, that's what practice is for. Thanks...

Hi everyone, I have a question. My first batch of merlo is just about ready for bottling. It is completely de gassed and almost clear. My question is: the wine seems to have a "light body" to it. Will this improve during aging? It's way darker tan say a white zinfindel but not as dark as a...

Well I checked my sg this morning and it's at 1.099 already. I just pitched the yeast last Sat so in 6 day's I'm at secondary already? I want to follow this kit to the letter and the instructions do say approx 14 days. Is this possible to happen this fast or should I sit tight and leave it in...

I started this kit this passed weekend as per alot of positive feedback. Fermenting like an animal as we speak!::

Ha! That's true, which is why I started a Grand Cru Pino gris the passed weekend! I figured, I'll make enough to keep me busy! :d

That sounds right. I am just impatient! lol! Once I get my first batch aged, I'll be alright. Just a little impatient. I piched the yeast last sat on my 2nd kit as well. Rj grand cru pino gris. Can't wait, I'm addicted already! :h
