I have been away from the forum (what was I thinking), so I just put in my membership - thank you all for being here - really. Our rack holds like 600 bottles - and we are getting super low (Emergency Siren sound here). I know how this goes, so we MUST do this right -- hit it hard, make a ton...

I have a couple 14 gal Tuff Tanks - can I do two kits in there (same wine of course). :-) It doesn't seem like a problem, but thought some of you wine cats may know. :-D

Guys, did I done screw up? and why? and would it taste different? Does anyone have any experience with this? Making two kits right now - Mosti Mondiale Pinot Grigio (we love that one) and a Wine Expert Angel Blanco (looks like it has great promise). 1st phase done, So I resuspended...

so I am making three batches of wine and I decide to add a fourth (why, don't ask) I do everything in week intervals - Sunday is my wine day. so I got three rolling and needing to be bottled - and I grab the 4th batch by mistake - not noticing the siligel and all that still tied to the...

OK, to the guys who have made tons of wine 2 questions: 1 - the instructions say loosely cover the primary for the first days - but some of you say seal it tight. What works better and why? 2 - top it up or not? I don;t want to drag up the lees, so I 'short myself' a bit, then the wine...

I have an All Juice Cab Sauv. in primary for a few days now - still cranking along, smelling awesome. But I just emptied my boxes out from George and found a Grape Pack in the bottom that I ordered (never remembered that I ordered it). A - can I put it in now - while it is still bubbling...

I have made in reds: Meglioli Cab - love that, but not the price. Amarone - all juice with raisins - very nice. Barolo - never let it age - hiccup - sorry. Sangiovese - love that - super wine. Black Cherry Shiraz - sissy wine, but gawd, the chicks dig it (that helps me stay popular)...

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a drinker. Comments I've gotten - OMG. S%&t this is good. Dam% Sam. Its #%&*ing remarkable. So there you have it. a Hit. Thank you all for all your help and support.

I had my tax atty over last week and we were breaking out all kinds of wine - trying this one and that one. I grabbed a bottle of the Blackberry Merlot and the Green Apple Riesling and told him, "this is girlie wine". He looked all perplexed. then he had a sip -ahhhhh, now I know what you...

I recently made a Pinot Grigio for my wife (big brownie and back-rubbing points). She is a Riesling girl, so i figured, what the heck - sort of in the same family. She LOVES it!!! It is her new favorite (even over Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling). I bought a bottle of Yellow Tail Pinot the...

I am so excited to be making this special wine - of course, I am a little nervous - want to make sure I am doing it right. So I pitch the yeast and wait a week (instructions say 3-5 days) and test the SG. the instructions say it should be 1.040-1.050 --- it was 1.020. So I figured let's...

OK, George talked me into getting out of the myopic Cab zone and into at least trying a Sangiovese - very nice. Not better than the MM Old Vines Cab he also recommended (wow - nice) Now I want an opinion or five of a Big, Fat Red to try. Barolo? Sangiovese? another big Cab? Lay some...

So, can I use this for primary, then go to carboy? I am thinking it would not allow me to suck the sludge off the bottom of the primary as much. ideas...

I have been making beer for a few years now (not regularly, just a few batches a year) and I love it. Never had a bad batch. I just made this batch and it is flat - great taste and body, but flat as a flitter. Ideas? I make wine too - so I am keenly aware of not killing the yeast...
