If you do decide to go ahead with the Cantaloupe wine, keep me updated .

I made some Cantaloupe wine and used Jack Keller's recipe as a base. The only thing I changed is the amount of cantaloupes (doubled it) and I used Lemon juice instead of peeled lemons. I peeled the cantaloupes and put chunks into a juicer instead of over the primary. I put the juice into...

I had this happen with some mandarin orange wine. I took some wine out via the thief, got it going again with Lalvin EC-1118, then re-introduced it to the secondary. It finished fine for me and the wine turned out awesome. I am planning on making some more soon.

Hi Denise Greetings from Medicine Hat, Alberta. I made some Saskatoon wine this year and it turned out awesome. I used a little different recipe (altered it from Jack Keller's Service Berry). I am going to enter it into a wine competition in February. Sadly it is my last bottle and calls...

I just used my double lever corker and had no issues. I did 24 bottles last night. The first time I used it, I had similar issues as you. Corks weren't going into the bottles very well and some were sticking out. This time, I did something different. I tossed a handful of corks into a...

I got into wine at the beginning of Jan. I successfully made a Cheeky Monkey Chardonnay kit, which resulted in the "obsession" as it has been called in the forums. I am currently making a Cheeky Monkey Shiraz and WE Chardonnay kit, while playing with fruit wines on the side. Currently i have...
