Favorite Wine Kit Eclipse Lodi Ranch 11 Cabernet I think the last time I tried to order from the company it did not ship to PSC boxes. I'm back in the states now, and things may have changed.

For manufacturer it depends what I'm looking for, price, and quality. I prefer to buy through Labelpeelers though. Great company with great prices and service.

Just bottled about a week ago. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

I've bottled a batch of coastal red but it doesn't seem to have turned out right. It seems acidic, overly tannic, and slightly fizzy. When I decant it for a couple hours tiny bubbles appear on the surface. I followed all the instructions well. I'm thinking secondary fermentation or I didn't...

Thanks everybody. Best to go with dry or liquid yeast? How long will the liquid yeast last in the refrigerator? Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

I live in Germany and am going to purchase some Pinot Noir grapes in the next couple weeks. I'm going to buy the yeast online (unless I find some here). I'm not sure what characteristics in the Pinot I want to make yet, but what dry and/or liquid yeast do you guys recommend for Pinot Noir and...

I live in southern germany. These are Regent grapes...a new hybrid. There isn't a lot of clay in the soil. Should I clip off a little from the top to see if it is green. Or maybe dig up the vines to see if the roots are having any pest or other problems? Thanks all again Abs Sent from my...

Thanks guys. Here's a better picture. When I touched the shots, two of them broke off. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

2 of my 4 vines are successfully growing vines. I switched one out for one more stalled just after sprouts. I included a picture of the stalled vine. Can anyone tell me what may have caused it, and what I may be able to do to save it? Can I test the vine? The second picture is a good vine...

I cut off the top above the 3d bud as most recommend. -what does new growth look like? - is there a way to tell if it's dead? - what should I do if I don't see anything sprout after two weeks. Sorry for the spaz, just really dig this stuff and excited. Thanks Abs Sent from my iPhone using...

I just planted 4 new vines. How long until I see some type of growth to know if they took or died? Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

Thanks Scott! Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

Didn't order 2 of them, and don't want to give up on this one. Maybe if I keep it in the carboy for the clearing stage on oak for extra time it will help? Sent from my iPad using Wine Making

Meant Lodi Ranch 11 cab. I'm adding wine instead of water to top off after transfer Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

Making lid ranch 11 cabernet kit. May have put too much water in to get low SG. What do u mean by topping off? There's no room in the secondary fermenter. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

Started primary at 1.058. Left it in primary too long (18 days) After primary tasted too astringent/tangy. Does this mean it was over fermented? I think I'll wait until I get the hydrometer. Thanks CMason! Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

I just broke my hydrometer and waiting for new one. I have a wine kit in secondary that needs to come out in the next couple days. How can I tell when to transfer it without a hydrometer...taste and clarity? Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

Thanks Sour Grapes! I hope the aging will help as well! Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

I'm making this same kit for the second time. First time it came out awesome. This time I noticed a difference after primary fermentation. The wine was very astringent. It may be from a few things I did differently: -I may have put too much water in (SG started low) -I didn't knock down the...
