Hey all! I know it's been a while, but I've been bulk aging at capacity! :) So, I just saw the winemakers competition results and I noticed that George landed a couple medals. Nice job! My wife and I landed a Bronze in the Riesling category. It's all thanks to George who helped us...

Hey everyone! We just planted a raspberry bush in the back yard. While we're thinking about cooking with a lot of the berries, I was thinking that it might be fun to make a raspberry wine. Before I go too far I was wondering if anyone had any idea on what type of quantity of wine I...

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been around lately, but my Mosti has been bulk aging so my attention gets diverted elsewhere. So, I'm taking a marketing course at the University of Massachusetts. As part of this course we're required to conduct and analyze a survey on upscale dining...

It's about time to rack my fresh-juice Riesling so I went into our wine room to check it out. There is a small film at the top that I later determined to be Mycoderma (Flowers of Wine). The wine doesn't smell bad yet, so I'm going to try to save it. I was thinking about racking it, throwing in...

Has anyone here every discussed the possibilities of some kind of wine exchange for fresh juice like the Mosti and other similar limited release / availability kits? I was thinking about something like this ... 10 people get together and get 10 different wines ... agter bottling everyone...

Hey everyone! Haven't posted in a while, so I figured I would update everyone on my progress. My wine is coming along and it's about time to bottle. I have to free up my single carboy (I know, sad) for my Mosti that's coming in tomorrow. My first batch was one of the Wine Expert...

Hey everyone! I have a Wine Expert Shiraz that's nearing its second month in bulk aging. I tasted it about two months ago and it was decent, but it was kind of subtle. I added some oak chips and that has helped a little. I didn't add any sugar, so at the moment it's running at around...

Hey everyone! Recently I had a brief email discussion with George about an idea I had and he recommended posting it here to see whateveryone thinks. I own a personal wine management service that allows users to track the wines they currently have in their inventory. This is a...

Hello everyone, My wife bought me a winemaking kit for my birthday on Sunday and I started my first batch of Shiraz that night. While it looks like I may need to add a bit of sugar at some point (initial SG = 1.07), so far I haven't blown anything up. Anyhow, I'm VERY excited about...
