I've made this kit quite a few times as well as the Rosso Grande and recently really like the Valpolicella. It's one of our favorites. My wife and I now call the "Super Tuscan" the "Super Drunk"... One time after drinking a couple bottles on a cold snowy winter day we decided go online and...

Beautiful Mike! ...Thanks for sharing the pics

Great work!

I just do kits. I've tried the Skeeter Pee and Dragon's Blood but they're just not my cup of tea.

That's awesome Tess! I just bottled my summer 2013 Skeeter Pee stash...Your label depicts Skeeter Pee to a tee.

Wow! Very impressive. I'm anxious to see the label you come up with for your Skeeter Pee... Good job.

Yes, you can! I use them for my skeeter pee. Don't reuse the caps though, buy some 38mm Poly Screw Caps.

I sure did Arne... If worse comes to worse could I give it another Sparkloid treatment without effecting the flavor? I'm in no big hurry though, I still have enough from my last batch to keep me alive.

Thanks Scott, I'll give it a go.

My SP has been clearing very slow (3+ weeks) and still has a ways to go. The question I have is, Could I rack, sweeten, and top off carboy and then let it take it's sweet time to clear? or should sweetening always be done after the wine is clear? My concern is the wine sitting for a long period...

I don't have an answer but was curious if it ever took off or did you pitch new yeast?

Here is some dimensions...

Hey Bob, is that some Soaring Wings cases under the wine bench? Donna saved several cases for me too. I was sad to see her move on. Great set up, thanks for letting me copy some ideas. Mark

Thanks for the nice comments. No, I didn't dado or put any additional bracing in the back. I thought I might need an X brace in back but after the top was secured on, it really didn't need any.

Finished up my wine rack. I made it from oak and redwood that I had been saving for years after cleaning out my Dad's house. A Thankyou goes out to everyone else that posted photos on this forum that I copied off of.

My very first wine kit I made was a Grand Cru Malbec. We didn't give it any time to age since it was my first kit but it was good right away. Now, 5 months later, it's really good, and our favorite one so far. I started a "Grand Cru International" Malbec kit last Saturday. I'm anxious to see...

Thanks for the advice! Are you saying there are kits that are not concentrated? I guess I've only noticed concentrated kits. If so, could you recommend a good Malbec "whole juice" kit.

Just wondering what are your favorite brands of wine kits. I'm still new to this and probably haven't had any wine kits age long enough to make a fair comparison but so far I prefer RJ Spagnols Grand Cru kits over Winexpert Selection Series and Vintners Reserve kits...What are your thoughts? Mark

I did the same thing when I was making Lon's 6 gallon recipe. I got confused and put in 3.5 tsp tannin and then realized it should have been 3.5 tsp of nutrient and only 1 tsp tannin:slp. I was able to scoop some of the tannin out that was still floating but I know it has at least double the...

Good to know. I'm sure these first batches won't be around for anywhere near the 2 year mark. I'm not sure what corks came with the wine making kit, but I assume they were #8's because they went in fairly easy. Thanks for the offer Arne... I was just told today that I have unlimited overtime...
