Waiting to see my daughter.....her birthday...still my little firecracker at 27. Got lucky she works hard and keeps her nose clean.

I use them. Usually 4 per batch. Keeps me from opening a 750 only to find out it's not ready. I also seem to end up with not quit a full bottle when bottling. Perfect for a 375.

Just finished this kit a month ago. I boosted the alc. to 10%. Followed the kit to the letter except for: adding a pack of white grape concentrate and sugared up to about 1.080. It did just fine. I think I could have upped the alc. to 12%.

Maybe this thread may help. http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43488 I used it and was real helpful.

Many thanks to all. The knowledge gained has been much and fear of failure is almost gone.

A few years ago we went an a family vacation. And with the festive mood of the evening I had a few glasses of wine as were others. Until now no one had seen me drink more than one. A good time was had by all and the next day I was asked if WineGary could come out and play again. It stuck and it...

I found a nice cinnamon tea (Bigelow brand) that was very popular. I found it on Jack Keller's site. Made just like he said but used a strong one cup made with 2 bags as a flavor pack. Back sweetened to around .004-.006. Let me know if you would like more info. He also had a raspberry zinger...

I give family wine with the understanding that they give me honest feed back. If they don't care for it, tell me why. This way I can improve it. Fortunately they are really kind and are really good at telling me why they liked or disliked it. This has helped me make better wine, and I keep notes...
