All the reds are going into my playbook

3 piece and vodka

I'm seriously debating buying another Merlot with a tweak of soaking the oak in bourbon and buying another Chardonnay and oaking that up. And juice buckets are right around the corner.

Looks like the kits are further discounted per an email I just received. Coupon code happy + free shipping brings two kits door to door for a total of $119. Note: coupon code is only for orders >$100

In case anyone is still thinking about these kits Midwest Supplies has the Merlot for 79 and Chardonnay for 69 with a special of NO SHIPPING costs on anything, including wine kits! Both 18L kits.

A couple of questions: 1) Can I use a 7.9 gal primary fermentation bucket to do the EM? If so, would shaking and sloshing the bucket instead of opening work? I only have those 7.9 gal fermenters and carboys (regular and Better Bottle). 2) Is there any way we can get a document of EM best...

I believe Northern Brewer juat opened a Canadian presence. They represent the Master Vintner brand.

My neighbor (an engineer) is helping me design an upgraded version of http://www.rochesterwinemakers.org/winemaking-information/winemaking-articles-by-members/make-carboy-lifter/ . Essentially we are putting rails on the lift to slide on/off carboys in milk crates to shelves. While I have an AIO...

Since I started my hobby I've focused on the high end kits (Eclipse, Limited Edition) but I am truly curious on what your thoughts are on the various product lines of WineExpert. My friends/family say "why buy a cheaper kit.. if the premium is great!" With the assumption of NO hacking/tweaking...

Curious if anyone has any feedback on this kit. Did you keep it as "dry" or did you add the optional wine conditioner to sweeten? I'm trying to get an idea of the flavor profiles of the "dry" version.

I was a busy boy today. Started all of the following: - Master Vintner Limited Edition: Jolie Sauvignon Blanc - RJS En Primeur Winery Series Trio White - RJ Spagnols Toasted Caramel Port - RJ Spagnols Black Forest Port

I'm debating doing the Chardonnay but splitting the batch into two 3 gal fermenters, one per instructions and the other with oak cubes. How many cubes would you think be good for the 3 gal? Also, how long would you advise keeping the oak in secondary?

Thanks for telling me that! I just double checked and found a second pack on the side. I wonder if somebody put it in as an afterthought.

There you go. Surprised there was not more oak.

The Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. Still debating whether I should get the Chardonnay

I just got my boxes . Are you going to do the extended maceration?

Got the new 3 gal Fast Ferment conical!

Not sure if any of you have bought from WTSO however I received a strange email over the weekend that a settlement has been reached in regards to a class action lawsuit. Apparently the "original price" was the point of contention. If you bought from them be on the lookout from an email titled...

Sounds like a plan sometime!
