Ambient temperature in the rest of the house isn't always that much warmer than the basement, this time of year. I guess I left that important fact out... We usually keep it no warmer than 60 degrees, dial it back to 50 or 52 when we're not home or when we're asleep.

Hello folks, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a commercial wine warmer. My basement is about 50-55 degrees,and I'd likesomething to bring my reds up to temp for serving. I read a couple poor reviews of the Waring Prop RPC175 Chiller/Warmer, but the complaints all had to do...

One evening I was drinking a glass of white wine - I don't remember what it was but nothing remarkable. From one sip to the next, I suddenly noticed a markedly different aroma, and the wine seemed to taste a little bit better. I looked into my glass and there was a fruit fly! So maybe it will...

I've made two batches and didn't filter either one...

Oh, you guys are awesome. I don't have an open-neck secondary so I'll just ferment to dry in the primary, and then rack and add the oak. Thanks so much!

Al, I was a little surprised too, but I've only ever made low-end kits before., so I thought nothing of it.Here's a link to the instructions. http://mostimondiale.com/InstructionsLaBodegaOAJMEAJMEG.pdf It's step 7.

Thanks, PA. I started the kit yesterday with no adjustments. The only adjustment I'm planning is to rack to secondary at 1.01 rather than 1.04-1.05, asI don't want a volcano. Instructions call for adding yeast nutrient and the oak chips at the time that I transfer - I was going to add...

Thanks, gentlemen! I had no idea that I could wait and add the tannin on the back-end. I suppose I'll just make this one as-is. Plan on starting it today!

I'm looking online at the Mosti Mondiale website, preparing to start my Alljuice Sangiovese, and I found this paragraph: Some home winemakers like their wine will enough but when they compare it to an equivalent ready-made purchase in a wine store, they're a little disappointed. This usually...

Happy belated birthday! Hope it was enjoyable.

Had frost last night here in Michigan and it was about 34 degrees when it was time toleave the house.Of course we couldn't find hats and gloves this morning!

Looks wonderful!

Thanks, guys! I'll go ahead and place my order...

We opened a bottle about a week ago - about five months in the bottle - still a little green but going to be good. Cassie and KnappSt, any updates on yours?

I feel like I'm ready to try my hand at a higher-end kit, and I see George has the MM Alljuice Sangiovese on special this month. Has anyone made this kit? Sangiovese isn't one of my "usual" varietals but I had one recently that was just incredible. Thought this might be worth a shot. Thoughts?

Wishing you both many happy returns of the day!

Tepe, wishing you many happy returns of the day!

That's too bad, I was eager to see it! You're right, Brewgrrrl, they look pretty happy!

Thanks Wade!

Anyone tried this link lately? It's in German and it looks like some people are loading a Flat Stanley into an MRI machine?
