To be fair, I can't recall who I got my last kit from was and I've also yet to test the batch (that I started some three years ago). The one before that was a gift which was probably five years ago. I remember it was in a blue box. It was okay to me but my friends all raved about how good it...

thank you!!

Reporting back..... Thanks for all the insight! :) Dry. Borderline bitter maybe? I could taste a hint of grapes and alcohol in it but I'm guessing dry is the word I'm looking for. Puckered my face up a little, that's for sure. The room it was in was dusty. More of a catch-all, storage...

Hey folks, "that" guy again. :) Due to life's little surprises, and the never ending struggle to become debt free, I have been out of touch and have neglected my hobby. Sad I know but I have hopes of making another go at making booze. That all being said. Would you believe me if I said that...

I hate adding another thread to the mix but a quick search didn't return any notable results. Granted my search skills might be very lacking. I reckon more due to laziness than anything else I'm at the stage where the nice little info packet that came with my newby wine making 101 kit says...

Sweet. Thanks for the tips everyone. I'll be putting them to use shortly. I never thought about one gallon not being enough. I guess I just assumed I wouldn't like what I'd made. :P

Finally got some time to hop on here and say "Hi" :) I've been working crazy hours since the holidays so free time is typically spent chilling with the grandkids or sleeping. It's kind neat how I stumbled on to this site. Seems like every time I searched for an answer to a question I had...
