Hello Fellow Wine makers. I'm about to start my own vineyard and was wondering how to get it going. I've purchased four varieties of grape vines. I'm not sure if they are suitable for wine making. I only purchased them because they were suitable to my zone. They are Fredonia, Niagara...

I hope it misses us and doesn't disrupt us in any way.

Hello: Well I was just checking in on my 1st ever melomel. Today the SG is at 0.092, which means I should do something to it. I tasted it and it is a bit dry. I thought I liked dry wine, until I started making my own. Home brewed wine is just way to dry. The wine is very tasty and...

I see this term often, but never any real explanations as to what it is. I couldn't find any def. here. When I Googled MLB, it only shows Major League Baseball.

:sm...Well in a sense I did...LOL... My Cherlemon wine (Seeker Pee,) has lost its cherry red color. There it is in the below photo. It was a brilliant red when it went into primary. When I pitched yeast it turned purple. A day after adding fining agents, it seems to have lost all red...
