    RJ Spagnols Nero d'Avola

    I have access to RJS kits I love them and dont worry if you go a little longer that 4 weeks to 5 and 7 for a 6 week kit. Its wine it likes tlc and that means time. Just wait until you get it in the bottle it will change after 6 mos. and get better

    Math Questions

    mine has a guage for potental acl. one for grix and one for SG. I follow the Potention and then ferment to th SG. the differnce indicates the acl in the wine. Lots of ferments to dry then i as you would add a little sweetner at bottling time. but very little it seems to get sweeter with time.
