Can someone explain to me what the varying results will be on a standard 750 ml between using the #8 versus #9 cork? I love the "pop" I get when I open a tightly sealed bottle. Will I not get that using a #8? I have bottled 60 bottles, but have yet to open one - I used #8. Yesterday I bought a...

Very, Very, Very nice - I have been waiting 2 weeks for the ink for my printer, they tell me it is coming this week - I like the idea of keeping the main theme, but with a little different picture for the different types of wine. I should be doing a bottling in about 10 days, so I want to use my...

awersome, thank you! This forum is good for more than wine questions!

This sample was rigged up on Publisher - but, for the final product - I will be using a combination of publisher and photoshop. The jpeg I created was a little to big in size for the forum - so I just snap shotted the image in publisher.

yeah, that's what I plan on doing - This is real ruff (pun) - I need to center, and work on the colors and font and so on - but I plan to have it ready by the end of the month for our next bottling - Which is an Australian Shiraz

They came with the kit

Needs work, but, geez - It's just "Dog gone Wine!"

The wine is very good already. We did have this wine made about a year ago at one of those "you make your own" wine places - they actually did everything for us and charged us to watchBut, the wine is fabulous! Just had a bottle at Christmas time, and have two more I am saving for a little...

Thank you all for your replies! This is definitely a new passion for me - I have two more kits in process and plan on making several more before summer -

They're not perfect - but I got all 29 bottles done today and on their "resting" rack - I found the dipping in boiling water to work best. Then to put the label on , I have a round jar opener rubber thing - It worked great to smooth out the label, while the bottled sat snuggly on what else but a...

I did some searches here on the site, but didn't find exactly what I am looking for. The package of wrappers I have, has no instructions. So far, I have tried a hair blower, and holding over steam - both produced unexceptable results, very crinkly - what is the best way to get this done? Well...

If I am reading this correctly - at some point are you supposed to rack the sediment to the next carboy? Our first kit was a Luna Rossa. Any time the instructions called for racking, we were very careful NOT to get any of the Lees (same as sediment?) The good news is, the wine is beautiful! We...

Sure Enough - when we first thought of this idea, we were sure we would find something at Home Depot - but nothing - so we built one - cost $17. Today we went to Lowes, and we did find them in the garden area - several different types, plastic, iron and wood ranging in price from $9 to $20 - so...

Custom hand made by Plattco Enterprises () - my hubby.

yeah, I'm an idiot - but....I have fixed the error of my ways - the airlock is now filled with pmb - thanks all for pointing that out - but, the point is - the dolly - the smart part, focus on the smart part of the picture....

Pretty cool huh?

Ok. you must think I drink WAY too much wine - I can't seem to type or read! I meant, that the instructions were talking about filling up the carboy to within 2 inches of the bung, with the reserve wine - and water or one of your suggestions for the airlock. Actually, I am drinking a nice Black...

OMG, I'm an idiot! - I have read, and re-read, and re-read those instructions and saw the same thing everytime - not the BUNG!! ---to use to top off the carboy, water or pmb in the airlock - - - - duh - I have fixed the problem - That's ok right? using the pmb solution to put in the airlock??

Actually, per the instructions, ( somewhere I read it) you can fill the airlock with wine, instead of the pmb. After we whipped it, I had about a quarter cup I couldn't fit back into the bottle, some for me, some for the air lock! This then goes in to the dark "cellar", closet, covered with a...
