    First try with fresh grapes

    I've been making wine since 2014 all kit wines, dragon bloods and so on. I've made 2-300 gallons. I went on my first winery tour here in Minnesota/Wisconsin. I really like a dry red made from Marquette grapes. I think I'm ready to try my first batch from fresh grapes. I found a vineyard not to...

    Your Favorite Wine Kit Manufacture

    I've only done winexpert. That's the only brand available around me. Can't say I care to much for the red kits. All have kit taste imo. Whites are awesome

    Wow 909 miles. That's pretty darn good. I don't know if I would have made 100. I also looked for Dave on FB to see how his trip was going but couldn't find him.

    Rubber taste

    It is wine I started for the wine of the month club. Made mostly of peppermint candies I got for free from the fast food restaurant "sonic".

    Rubber taste

    The wine did not have any rotten egg smell at any stage of making it. I think I will just pour out this batch. It was a complete experiment anyway and I didn't really expect it to turn out anywhere near great.

    Rubber taste

    I have done some searching around on this site but couldn't find any previous posts. Bottled my second 1 gallon batch of wine and it has a horrible rubber taste. My first gallon batch had the same problem, but not as bad. I have never had this problem with my 6 gallon or larger batches. The...
