Yea, Just went through the standard with their customer support also... Used a drill stir as usual... Made sure the volume was at on 6 gallons according to my primary bucket... Ei Ei... Might have to add some sugar... I already added the yeast yesterday so if I'm going to do it, I should...

Filtered... I would have probably racked it a few more times if I wasn't going to filter it... Lot's of sediment dropped on this guy.

Having a problem with the Chilean Chardonnay and was wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue... Recieved this as sort of a gift from a local retailer... (Wife bought me a gift card), followed all the steps per directions as I usually do with the WE kits and the SG came up way light...

Bottled thisguy last weekend. WOW! The wife and I ended up drinking half a bottle already... My wife is definitly not a Port fan but absolutely loved this... I think I'm going to have to hide the bottles from her somehow... This one and the ice wine I bottled two weeks ago... I'm about to start...

Yea, that's what I thought... I thought one or the other... She swears that she's seen it done... I don't think I'm about to waste my ice wine bottles trying it... LOL

Quick question for everyone out there, Has anyone ever seen a bottle that contained both a wax seal above the cork with a monogram and a shrink cap on top of it all? My wife swears it would be a good idea, I'm just not sure how to go about it or if anyone has ever seen it done. She says I...

Yes, Please take pictures! Rich

Ditto to the F-Pack... I almost was intoxicated off the nose... I havn't had alot of sediment drop now that it's racked with the clearing agents...

Right at .99 .98 depending... It fermented heavy and well... It was about 11 days to that mark just for reference...

So how is everyone's OC Port coming along? I just racked mine to secondary, it smells delicious... You were also correct in that there was plenty to top off with. I think I could have got hammered on the left over's from the top off... I can't wait... The smell coming from the mix was...

Smashing, can't wait. I don't know a whole heck of alot about port but people keep asking me if I'm going to infuse it with brandy. Is there a point to that with this kit or no and if so, what is the point? Thanks all! Rich

Just started the Chocolate Orange Port that arrived via FedEx this morning from George. Interesting thing is the bag of juice for the primary wasn't hitting the three gallon mark on my primary so I have a feeling I'm going to have to deal with that when it's time to rack. Going to be difficult...

Yep, learned this one on my second batch! I honestly couldn't stand that batch, something about the fine sediment made my stomach crawl. My wife however loves it... It was a Rasberry wine...

Thanks guys.... I'm going to stay undecided for another 24 hours or so. I love the insight. It's definitly supposed to be sweet. I've had it retail anywhere from cough syrup consistency to water consistency. I know it's supposed to be thicker but not like cough syrup... Hmmm.... Rich

Hi Everyone! Just a few opinion questions for everyone out there. First, which Ice Wine would you make? The Reisling style or Cabernet Franc style? I see the peach style out there and I'm not a big peach fan. I typically buydiffering vidal ice wine's off the rack in the local state store...

Quick question for all of you... I made two VH fruit wines, 6 gallons of the strawberry and 6 of the cherry... I tasted both today, (1 month in) and it tastes like they are both rather rough. The cherry tastes primarily like alcohol... I half followed the directions on that can before I came to...

Hi Guys, I'm having one heck of a time getting my supplied tubing on this auto-siphon. The diameter of the tubing is the same as the diameter on the auto-siphon so I'm having trouble stretching it out to get it on. I tried the hot water trick and maybe my hands are just to big to slide it on...
