Hello: I'm hooked on using Grape Packs with my wine kits. I have a Washington Meritage from WE and I can't find anyone that sells grape packs. George is out. Anyone have another source? Thanks, Mike

Hello: Has anyone used the plastic bucket that MM uses to ship their AllJuice kits as a primary fermenter? Seems a waste to not use this bucket for something other than a trash can in the winery. Thanks, Mike

Hello: I need to make up about (45) 375ml bottles (http://www.finevinewines.com/p-96-5221.aspx) to use as favors for a wedding rehearsal dinner. To simplify things and avoid everyone needing a corkscrew, I want to use the Altec Tasting Corks (http://www.finevinewines.com/p-2952-4250.aspx). Do...

Hello: I've been a fan of MM All-Juice kits for about a year now. George got me started on this hobby and the All-Juice kits seem to be his top-of-the line. I was surprised to see in the Dec-Jan issue of Winemaker magazine that MM kits are hardly mentioned when ranking the top 100 wine kits...

Anyone try MLF with a wine kit?

Hello: I'm thinking of ordering the MM Petite Shiraz and a Grape pack. I've never used a grape pack before. How do these work? I'm also ordering a 10 gal fermentation pail as I assume the 6 gal I have will be kind of tight. Thanks, Mike

Hello: I have an RJ Spagnolls EnPrimeur. The instructions say to say until day 28 - when the SG is .998 or less - before racking. It's day 10 and the SG is .990. Do I wait until day 28 or rack now? I assume that the wait will allow the wine to sit on the lees a little longer and possibly...

Hello: I have an Orchard Breezin Raspberry White Zin kit that has been perfect up to now. Fermentation ended at .996 after which I degassed and finished it. It's been 10 days and I plan to bottle. For the heck of it, I check ed the SG and it's now at 1.02. It looks great, it smells great, it...

Hello: I see where some people are adding sugar to their Orchard Breezin' wine kits. I'm about to begin a Raspberry White Zinfandel. There's nothing in the instructions about adding sugar. Is this optional? Any recommendations? Thanks, Mike

Hello: I tried to find the information by searching the posts, but I'm still confused. I have a MM SYRAH that is finished fermenting and has been racked to the secondary. The directions call for me to wait until the SG is at .996 or below for at least two days at which time I need to stabilize...

Hello: I'm brewing my first batch of wine. I'm usingMosti Mondiale Petite Syrah and things are going okay - I guess. I used a brew belt to keep the must in the primary fermentation bucket at 76 degrees. That worked great - maybe too great. The SG dropped to 1.030 in only 3 days. Now I've racked...

Hello: I have purchased the Deluxe Starter Package Wine Kit. What else would I need if I wanted to Home Brew? I figure I have to wait around a year before the wine is ready. Might as well brew some beer while I'm waiting. Thanks, Mike
