    When my husband finds out....

    He told me to find a wine rack for my wine. He's sick of the cases of wine in the basement. Well, I found one, thanks, George! I also found 7 new kits. I'm going to need more wine racks.

    Wine thief....literally!

    Saturday I had a half case of Peach Chardonnay in the backseat of my car I was taking to a party after work. About 15 minutes before we closed the shop I work at, one of my coworkers told me someone broke into my car! I went out and sure enough, someone smashed my passenger side window and stole...

    Shrink caps and sealing wax

    I'm having a hard time finding shrink caps I like. They all have the gold top on them and I just don't like it! Is wax hard to use? has anyone used it?

    Blackberry White Zin...will this work, and how?

    A friend of mine wanted to make a blackberry flavored wine. She just bottled her first kit, an Orchard Breezin Peach chardonnay I helped her up the ABV on. We were at the local wine store today and they didn't have the OB Blackberry merlot she wanted so she bought the Vino del Vida (or whatever...

    Yuck!

    I opened a bottle of Pinot Grigio from my first kit last night and it is kinda sour and salty! It has aged 3 months. I tried the riesling I made maybe 2 months ago and it is the same way, but not as bad. It was a little watery though. Did I do something wrong? Does it just need to age more? I'm...

    Woo Hoo!! Free Kit!

    So I got a call from the wine making store by my house, I won a $50 gift card! I left work "sick" today and went to see what they had. They don't have the greatest selection, but I ended up with the Orchard Breezin Strawberry Riesling, and the RJ Spagnols Vino Del Vida Cabernet Merlot. I can't...

    I wanted to make this wine but I am wondering if the F Pac or any other part of it has apple juice in it. Does anyone know?

    Stuck Zinfandel

    I have a VR Zinfandel going that I racked to the carboy on Feb. 19. The SG was 1.000. Today, its still 1.000 and there is absolutely no action in the airlock. The instructions say to clear and degass and that when it reaches .996 or less. What should I do?

    Straight vs. Tapered

    I received part of my order today which included 90 #9 tapered corks. I ordered the wrong ones! Can I still use them or should i hurry and order straight corks? I'm using regular wine bottles.

    Sg Reading

    The must is 66° and the hydrometer says 1.000. Because the temeperature is over 60° I add 1 right? Making it 1.010 or 1.100? I'm a little confused about that. I'm waiting for .998, and I started the kit January 29. Its the RJ Spagnols Pinot Grigio (Vino Del Vida) Thank you!

Last week I went to the local Home brewers store and bought an equipment kit and the RJ Spagnols Vida de something or other Pinot Grigio. It is in my kitchen fermenting and sort of...
