    What online home-brew store have you used?

    Hi! I need to buy some labels for some Orchard Breezin, and WineExpert kits I have made, and am in the process of making. My Local store has had a really low supply of labels since the summer. I'm wondering which online stores you all have used that you have had a good experience with? I also...

    LOL Very well said Dave, "fruit stripe gum"! Yeah it's pretty bad. :) And, I personally like most of the mist wines I have tried.

    WineXpert Exotic fruit

    Hi Mike, a couple of us have posted on this kit before, and agreed that it as an odd...not so yummy...artificial taste. I actually ended up dumping all of it out. Even after letting it sit bottled for a few months. But then everyone's taste is different.

    WineXpert Backsweetening a VR Riesling?

    It wasn't sweet enough for me. :) For others it would probably be all right though. I like sweeeeet! I made a second kit and didn't backsweeten because I didn't want to deal with the cloudiness again & I'm really sorry I didn't... Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

    WineXpert Backsweetening a VR Riesling?

    When I backsweeten the WineExpert Muscato, I let it clear fully, then I made a simple syrup (boiled 1 cup of water with two cups of sugar), then added it to the carboy once it cooled down. It made my cleared wine cloudy again, and I ended up having to add pectic enzyme to get it to clear. And it...

    Other White semi sweet

    I just checked my notes, and I bottled the Muscat back in January. I'm going to have to open a bottle and see how it is now!

    Other White semi sweet

    Looks like a lot of you are making the Muscat. ;-) I followed the directions on that one. I would maybe do an extra racking at the end and let it bulk age for at least a month so all the sediment has time to fall out. Keep us posted you guys! I just like sweet wines like riesling and...

    Other White semi sweet

    Broge5 I've made the International Muscat you mentioned, it is not sweet enough for me. My friend who's mom likes dry wines, liked it. But, its not one i would make again. Not flavorful enough for me. I also made the WV German Muller-Thurgau that one to me is semi-sweet and has a nice grapey...

    WineXpert WE California muscato kit

    I ended up having to use pectic enzyme in mine, and racked a couple of extra times. But it finally cleared, I bottled on June 11, and there's no sediment in the bottles. I think I bottled it about a month and a half past the date the the instructions would have said to bottle on.
