Oh wow. Good to know. Thx Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

I have a carboy of KR Grand Red II that just started the third stage. I have de-gassed and added the clearing agents. Last night after adding the last clearing agents apparently I forgot to put the airlock back on, and didn't notice it until this morning which was about 12 hours later. There's...

I squeeze the stuffings out of the grape pack. But then again, I have nothing over 9 mo old Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

I for one would like to see more chatter on the Masters Editions. They look great on paper, but can't seem to find anyone who has made her likes them. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

I second wanting to see a flappy wine! As long as it is someone else's flappy wine. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

I love tempranillos and riojas. I myself would lean that way first. Nothing against Syrah though! Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

Good to hear. I have one of these just finishing up primary fermentation right now. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

I think you're right. I just need more carboys!! I just figured that since I'm letting these Bocage for quite some time anyway, might as well take advantage of the time and spread it out with fewer carboys. I guess if I pick up at least one more 3 gallon, it will make things a little easier...

Interesting Julie. I never even thought about adding tannins to white wines. All of mine are in bulk aging right now so I'm just wondering how long I should leave them after I add the tannins to them before I can bottle and go on to the next batch with my 3 gallon carboy Sent from my iPhone...

I really appreciate the great input that everyone has given. Almost makes me want to forget the experiment and just add tannins to them all. For the sake of the experiment though I would like a few more opinions. I only have one 3 gallon carboy and four batches of wine in Bulk aging. I will be...

I only have a must got going right now in a carboy. I don't figure I'll be adding tannin that one. However I do have a pacific quartet on deck. I really never thought about adding tannins to the whites. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

For those of you who add tanning, I wanted to ask which of these wines would most likely benefit best from it? I know it has a lot to do with my particular taste but I'd like to hear some recommendations. These are the first I have done of these kits. My idea is to take the ones below that I...

I have read somewhere in the past that the celler craft kits tend to be a little more fruit forward to some the others. I do like fruit forward and I like dry. Has anyone tried the celler craft showcase Washington Merlot? Except for that the Wine Expert Eclips stags leap is the front runner for...

Well Southernchemist, I am absolutely terrible at reviewing wine. For the life of me I can't come up with all these things that I read on Wine reviews. About the best I can tell you is that it tasted pretty decent for a white wine. I know that's a lousy review but I really don't like white wine...

I'm liking all the good comments about this one. I put those three bags of oak cubes and with the clearing agents and left them for about three weeks. I know six weeks is probably better but as much oak as there was I figured that would be fine. Can't recall whether the instructions recommend...

Thanks everybody. I'm real pleased with the way it turned out. I just hope the taste is there down the road. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

Just got this one bottled yesterday. I'm not much of a white drinker but I think this one will be pretty good especially if it tastes like Shoebiedoo's. Put it through the sur lie and battonage for a couple of months. Either way, at least it's purty!! Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

So far, I believe I'm leaning toward the stags leap. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

I'm looking to add a merlot to the line up. My first thoughts are a premium kit CC SC Washington Merlot or WE Eclipse Stags Leap Merlot. I am going thru lots of varietal kits first to try to learn the characteristics of each. So, for now, I'm not looking for blends. Anyone with a Merlot they...

I have started doing just that. Adding the cubes after clearing phase so that they can stay in a little longer at bulk aging. However I'm quite a newbie with only about 12 kits under my belt and barely any ready to drink Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making
