Yes the AC in the house. It was a little warm in here when I got home.

Just got back from a 17 day motorcycle trip to the great north east. Rode from S.E. Georgia all the way to Portland, ME. Wife rode her bike and I talked the 14 year old into going by telling him it would be like the movie National Treasure. It is the only way to see the north east. I will say...

Oh this definately was meant for all at the shop. As for the popcorn "I have enough!!". I have that stuff everywhere. I have re-done the floor in the kitchen and the living room with finevinepopcorn.

Not that George needs it, I wanted to give a shout out to him and his store. I got my order the other day and they put in filters instead of filter papers. I understand mistakes happen but he immediately mailed the papers to me and I already received them. He told me to just keep the filters but...

I would like to know what the difinitive answer to what the difference is between the three. With shipping being the same I tend to go to the higher end since I am paying the high shipping costs. If I am going to pay $25.00 or more for shipping I would like to get the best I can afford.

Am I to assume experience has told you not to use the wood cork . I will give them a call and see about getting one. I figure for the kit wines the 23L will be enough and give me a little extra to top off. When my grapes are ready next year or so I may get a bigger one. Thanks and happy fermenting.

When you purchase the 23L barrels from Vadai do they come with the stand to put them on and the spigot or are these extra? I am thinking of getting one and was wondering if they do not come with the spigot do you just roll the barrel over toempty? I am assuming they come with the cork. Thanks.

I will stick to the Renaissance then. Thanks.

I really hope this one turns out as I would love to submit it to the winmakers competition. I have made a few kits but have not had that "WOW" wine yet to submit. We will see and if the wife says "WOW" then I will try and hide a couple bottles from her for the competition.

I think you are right about only raisins last year. I did this same kit and no grape pack. I am going to use both in my 10 gal. fermenter and see what happens. Also, I had no problems clearing the amarone last year. It did take two filter padsto filter it tho.

I was at the Mosti Mondiale site and saw they have a kit called Riserva listed. Is this a good kit and is George going to carry it?

The instructions specifically states to not use both. I would think if that were the case that they would have only included one. I would think do to costs that they wouldonly include one. Well, I was going to use my normal fermentor if I used just the raisins as it will fit. I guess I will put...

I just opened a Meg. Amarone kit I am going to start and it came with the grape pack and the raisins. The instructions say to use one or the other but not both. I am assumuting the grape pack is the way to go but when I look at the grape pack, it is identical to the one I received with my Merlot...

I went to the Ferrari Group website and it looks like all there models are coming out with the chromium plated jaws.

YES they are pricey and the shipping costs kill me. I can not find a local shop that deals in Mosti kits. They carry the cheaper RJ and WE kits. I did not mean that they are a cheaper brand just the lower end of the kits. I am trying to get them to order me a Cru Select Gewurztraminer but we...

Chrome flash would make sense then. I received itfrom Fedex yesterday fromGeorge and can not wait to use it.I have read so much about the Italian floor corkers with the brass jaws, when mine showed up silver I got a little concerned. I will clean her up and get her ready to use on my next batch...

I got my Italian floor corker today and put it together. I tried it on an empty bottle to make sure the depth was good and it was right on. I looks at the jaws and they did not look like brass. They are metal but they are silver not the gold look of brass. Also they were covered in oil. I am...

Like yours Rocky, my wife is the primary taster but she refuses to taste any until I have put the clearing ageants in and the wine looks like wine. She looks at some of the stuff I put in like the bentonite and says no way am I drinking that. I try and explain to her what it is for and she says...

The airlock still had the k-meta solution so no it did not go dry. Hopefully when Fed-ex gets here I can get two more started.

I put it in there after adding the k-meta at three months then forgot about it. I have to try and hide them cause everytime the wife sees one I have not bottle I get hammered to bottle it so she can drink it. I almost got killed with the amarone kit I just bottled. It was at about 11 months and...
