great thank you!

lol...good to know. Thank you all for your help.

oh great. A couple more questions....do I need to maintain the wine at the same temp 72-74degrees and do I assume the fermantation is complete or do I leave it sit for a few weeks and keep checking the SG?

I hope someone can put my worries at ease. I'm making my very first batch of wine from a Concord Grape concentrate(1 gal). I believe I followed the directions to a "T". The primary ferment started with an S.G. of 1.090. I maintained a controlled temp of about 72-74degrees. To my suprise, after...

Thanks! Sorry should have given more specifics. The grapes are wild at the edge of the woods. They are a deep purple color, almost black and the size is about the diameterof a nickel(maybe slightly smaller). I live in rhode island. The property i live on use to be a farm so i'm hoping these...

I live in the northeast and recently found out i have some grapes growing in my backyard that can be used for making wine so i'm going to try my hand at it..where do i start? i have a kit coming in the mail & was told i first need to check the sugar level of the grapes before picking them...
