I buy from Finevinewines in Texas and usually I purchase RJS kits. My favorite is Valpolicella Ripassa with the raisins and oak. This tastes so great!!! Other than that kit I like big reds from Spain or Italy.

I'm going to start this kit this weekend. Has anyone made it? Any recommendations? It looks like it will be a great kit. Those grape skins make up a great kit and it looks like there is alot of oak.... Can't wait!

lime skeeter pee Racked this over to a secondary today. Fermentation is still going fairly rapidly but not as much as a few days ago. I ended up doing the all lime version and I think it will be pretty tasty.:b

OK well I've only finished maybe 10 kits and have some more really nice ones in progress. But of what I've finished I would say that......1. RJ Spagnols, Cru Select, Valpolicella Ripassa -Magical!!!! </span>2. RJ Spagnols, Cru Select Chilean Malbec </span>3. RJ Spagnols, Cru SelectAmarone </span>

The lemon lime sounds good. But since I have a gallon of lime I'm going to give it a try. I'm goint to do 3X32 lime or else 2X32 lime and 1x32 lemon.:h

Well I'll check the SG tomorrow and I'll bet it is higher than what I originally measured. The instuctions say to measure when you make up the kit on day 1. This is a Spagnols kit. So I'll check the sg tomorrow and report in. Laura

Humm that may be but since I only plan on making 6-8 kits per year it isn't a priority for me yet. Plus that is really satisfying filling the bottles with the filling wand and watching the wine climb up the bottle until it gets just to the top and then pulling out the wand and moving on to the...

air lock I just take a small plastic bag and rubber band it over the open top. Keeps the bugs out and keeps it from evaporating too fast. Those plastic ones don't do the job as far as I'm concerned. Laura:tz

I just started this kit tonight. I'm excited to read everyones posts about how good this kit is. I measured the specific gravity and it was a little below what they said it should be. But I think that is because the grape skins which I added in the sox thing aren't mixed up into the juice...

Oh, I do have aMeglioli Amarone bulk aging too which I haven't tried yet. I got it because everyone seemed to be recommending it on the boards. And I have a third Amarone from the Rennasance line waiting in the wings. I tasted the Cru Select again and actually it was very nice too. I'm blown...

I just got one of those floor corkers from Portugal and bottled 24 gallons of wine. What a satisfying tool!!! I love it! It makes bottling so easy. Thanks George! I had bulk aged four kits for 12 months and had to bottle them. So bought the corker, took a vacation day and went to work. Got them...

Very Lime Wow 100% lime. I will do it then. I'll have a quart from my gallon of real lime left so may do the recommended 1/3 lime, 2/3 lemon too. Then I can have a side by side tasting! :tz

I bought a gallon of Real Lime, lime juice and was planning on making Skeeter Pee from it. I was planning on following the original Skeepter Pee recipe except substituting lime for lemon. Is there anything I need to know before doing this? Does anyone have any experience with this...

MM Chianti All Juice I just got this kit also. I did not use the bucket that the kit came in as my primary fermenter on this batch. But it is exactly the same as the one I used so yes it will hold the 6 gallon kit and will be perfect as a primary fermenter. About the oak- This is the...

There is one in Tempe Arizona. I 10 and Warner Road.:sh

I've made some of these Amazon kits and you may also want to add some oak. Also I make these up as 5 gallon kits instead of 6 gallon. Laura

Have you received your kit and started it yet? I just ordered mine a few days ago so I don't have it yet.

I just ordered extra small stoppers and airlocks with the Meglioli kit in case I needed to do a 6 gal + 1/2 gallon to contain the 6 1/2 gallons. But I do also have several 6 1/2 gallon carboys availble. I'm just not that keen to be lifting the 6.5 gallon carboys. I need to look into a pump so...

Grape pack volume? Good question, I also just ordered a Meglioli Barolo with grape pack kit and am wondering if after primary fermentation I'll need to use one of my 6.5 gallon carboys instead of the 6 gallon. Does anyone have any experience with this? Laura Tempe, AZ:?
