    Now what?

    Just read about the closing of finevinewines. I'm also looking for a source for Mosti Mondiale's Vinifera Noble, Pinot Noir and Bourge Royal Rouge. I make these two kits several times a year. Also looking for Summer Breeze, Blackberry Pinot Noir. To me, the Island Breeze and other lines are...

    I'm in west georgia and I have the same problem. It's about 2 1/2 hours to Birmingham from my house. I might be interested in a once a quarter thing.

    Peaches - Tom or anyone else who makes often

    I just started a batch of peach wine on Sunday 6/25/2012 based on advice from this board. I cut-up, destoned the peaches, sprinkled a little pectin enzyme over them and froze them. When I put them in the primary on Sunday there was a lot of juice already. I pitched the yeast on Monday. At...

    General fruit wine question

    Ok. I started the mush last night and added the yeast this morning. I added white grape/peach concentrate. I had to remove about 2 gallons of the must yesterday and add water to get a S.G. of 1.080. So, the must is composed of an original 35 lbs of peaches, 6 cans of white grape/peach...

    General fruit wine question

    Thank you Wiz! That's exactly what I wanted to know! How exactly do massive quantities of fruit affect the end taste. My husband and I like a semi-sweet wine. I want the wine to have some body. I ended up buying 34 lbs of peaches. They are $.58 per lb at my local Food Loin and I didn't...

    General fruit wine question

    Thanks! I probably wasn't very clear. I'm going for about 6 lbs of fruit per gallon for a 5 gallon batch. 25 lbs of peaches and about 10 lbs of either strawberries/bananas or golden raisins/ mangos. The secondary fruits will depend of what I find. I thought that with peach wine you need...

    General fruit wine question

    Thanks for all the advice! I'm going this afternoon to purchase 30-40 lbs of peaches that are on sale for $.59 per lb. Will add strawberry and bananas or golden raisin and mangos--depending on what I find.

    General fruit wine question

    I've seen a lot of different fruit wine recipes for 5 gallon wines using various amounts of fruit online. For example, on this forum, I've seen peach wine made with as little as 5 lbs of peaches to as much as 50 lbs of peaches. To a newbie, that's a big difference in the amount of fruit used...

    Other My first batch!

    I think it taste great! It's sweet--but not too sweet! It's very smooth. It has already become an obsession! I can't stop thinking about making different types of wine. I followed the directions to the letter. It went exactly as the directions said it would. I have Cornucopia Peach...

    Other My first batch!

    Thank you--me too! I'm a graphic/web designer by occupation. My husband and I have done a little taste tasting. We think it's great! It's definitely a desert wine but not too sweet. BTW: I rarely see anything about Cornucopia wine kits on wine forums. My wine-making buddy and I found...
