Thanks! I've just mixed up a batch of the California Trinity Red and it's in the primary. I'll whip up a couple of fruit options as well however it will have to wait for a couple of weeks as the primaries are full and carboys are as well - I'll probably have to buy more at some point. I...

I did pick up an off dry Gewürztraminer kit, I guess maybe I'll have to stick with one or two fruity reds (mist kits or similar). Thanks for the suggestions, personally for myself I prefer the sweeter type wines but I wanted something to suit most everyone's taste.

I'm not a huge fan of wine even though I make it, go figure. I'm hooked by the process, not by the ends. We are planning on getting married the first part of July this year, I'm looking for both a red and a white that don't require a lot of time to age as the wedding is a little under 6 month...

This didn't go over so well :( I bottled 12 bottles from the carboy without back sweetening as I figured over time, perhaps when they age some, they will be much better. To the remaining wine, I added one container of the thawed out raspberry concentrate and bottled that as well. This morning, I...

Ah.. the things the instructions don't tell you. Thank you so much, that did the trick. Stirred the carboy a bit, didn't want to disturb the sediment too much, took a sample and stirred that up really well.. it's sitting at .996. I haven't lost my mind after all..

There is sooo much I don't know about making wine, and I'm not really confused. On this kit (I currently have 3 going), Nov 29 the SG was 1.002 so I racked it from the primary into a glass carboy per instructions. I check the kits every couple few days - not really impatient, just like to...

Thank you all so much for your input, I feel much better about going ahead with this now. I'll let you know what I do and how it turns out.

The hydrometer reading on it is .996. It was only after I started this kit that I discovered they made mist kits :) From now on, that's probably what I'll be making.

Awhile back I bought a really cheap Prestige wine kit (white Zinfandel) I thought it would actually be white but it's a blush color. I really don't drink much wine and was pretty much going into all this blind so forgive me if any questions are off the wall :) To make a long story short, I...

I did get the cellar master one at Save on Foods/Overwaitea. I have a Niagra Mist one on the go as well but my local brewery store didn't have any varieties with melon and he mentioned that there were these Kiwi Melon kits. I hunted them down. I've been bitten by the bug, just as the guy at the...

I think they may be the same, a search on google keeps showing Orchard Breezin' (formerly listed as Cellar Master).

I purchased this kit yesterday and after I had mixed everything in the primary I read through the rest of the instructions. At the very end it says "Keep your wine in a temperature-controlled environment out of direct sunlight, for 2 - 3 months prior to consuming". I thought that mist style...
