Winexpert Island Mist Green Apple Riesling Wine Recipe Kit

Well I don't know what I did wrong, but my 3 gallon batch came out horrible. I bottled it a few months ago and hoped the harshness would go away, but I opened a bottle last night and it's not any better. The closes thing I can compare it to is cough syrup. I think it's time to dump this batch...

I just checked the batch I bottled a few weeks ago and I've noticed there is some sediment at the bottom of each. It was perfectly clear when I bottled it. This is definitely a tricky wine to make.

I can tell you from experience that this wine creates a lot of CO2 and is very difficult to degass. I only made a 3 gallon batch and it took me almost a week to finally get all of the gas out of it. It's very likely you still have some degassing to do.

I just bottled a 3 gallon batch of DB and I have to say it definitely has some "bite". Does it tend to mellow after it ages for a while? I'm really hoping so.

I would recommend the Cornucopia Tropical Riesling if you want a quick wine kit with broad appeal. I got it off Amazon for $48 shipped. It was ready in 4 weeks, but I left it in the carboy for an extra week. I only ended up using half of the f-pack as I thought it would be too sweet if I did. It...

From what I've read, the health benefits from red wine are due to the resveratrol which comes from the grape skins. The grape skin is what gives typical red wine it's color. White wines are made from grapes that have had the skin removed before fermenting. I think that's why just saying "red"...

I don't have a glass carboy so that wasn't an option. I think I finally got my batch to degass. I splash racked and stirred with the drill again and it looks like most of the CO2 is finally gone. Just waiting for it to clear now so I can get it bottled.

I finally decided on the World Vineyard Washington Riesling. I just ordered it from Midwest Supplies. They have a 10% off coupon (SPRINGWINE) for all wine kits. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I've got a 3 gallon batch of DB that I've been trying to degass for a week. It just seems like there is an infinite supply of CO2. I'm using a stir rod mounted on a drill and I'm doing it for about 30 minutes at a time. My SG has been at .990 for over a week and I did stabilize so I know...

I just received a response from Schmitt Sohne from an email I sent asking about the different classifications of Riesling. Here is what they sent. The names used to describe the ripeness levels in ascending order are as follows: Qualitätswein - from grapes picked during the initial harvest...

Thanks for all your suggestions. It sounds like the Australian Traminer-Riesling might be what I'm looking for. I'll also check into the CC Showcase Yakima Valley Riesling. Do you know what ABV these finish at? The Cornucopia Riesling only finished at about 8.5%. I know I can adjust the sugar...

I'm a newbie to wine making and I just finished my first kit. I made a Tropical Riesling from Cornucopia and although it came out good, I'm not crazy about the tropical flavor. I'm looking for a kit that is more of a true Riesling. My favorite commercial Rieslings are Blufeld and a semi-sweet...
