Just opened my WE Angel Blanco kit poured it into the primary and added the water to bring it up to 6 gals. The only other white wine kit I had done was a Riesling, and it wasn't this color. Do you think there is something wrong with it? Taste was ok,,didn't seem to have an off taste,,just...

Need help picking out a kit to make a port. Sitting having Christmas dinner with my parents and enjoying some of the wine we made, I asked my dad (who will be turning 85 in Feb) since he likes to have a glass or two of port each evening, if he would like me to get a port kit and we could make...

Feeling a little more relaxed with my Riesling (juice bucket from Luva Bella's) checked the sg 1.040 so it is fermenting,,temp is around 68. I read that white's should be kept at a cooler temp. so I turned off the extra heater downstairs. Stirred it this morning and saw the little bubbles of...

Since I keep seeing response to the shooting there, I thought I would post this poem I received this morning, after all the first post was about the shooting and this little email I received has helped me in thinking of those poor little children. Here it is: T’was 11 days before...

Today I felt like a kid again, sneaking downstairs to peek in my juice bucket! Like Christmas morning all over again. This is my first juice pail, it is a Reisling. I just got it yesterday and this morning opened it up,,ahhhhh the aroma that greated me,,,,,any way I know it should be...

Not sure if my strawberry is re-fermenting or I still need to de-gas more. Stablized on 9/5 added sorbate & pot meta along with an f-pak, sg went to 1.006,,figure it was ok and waited. Had hubby take a taste and we both agreed that it need alittle more sweetening to help bring out the fruit...

Came across this today, kinds makes me happy that I have glasses,,,lol! Everyone keep safe and enjoy your day!

Last week I looked at my two empty carboys, waiting to be filled. Today I figured it was a good day to fill them. With the news of the storm being bad, even where I live, I decided to fill those two empty 5 & 6 gal carboys with water, just in case the power does go out for a while, at least I...

Started the day out by taking out my frozen peaches. I could have sworn that I had more,,me thinks the youngest daughter helped herself to some when I wasn't around, oh well, at least they didn't go to waste. I even went as far as looking through all three freezer compartments to make sure...

I finally got up the nerve to make some wine from fruit and not just by using the kits. Oh the kits are great,,I have made a few! But when you step outside of the box and do it all alone,,it is a great experience! I had picked 25 lbs of strawberries, cleaned, cored, sliced and put in the...
