Hey Joe, Thanks for the suggestions! I didn't have any, BM45 and I was going to be traveling in and out of town with work throughout the week so I needed to get these started. I did use, BM45 in another split batch of, WE Triumph. Unfortunately, I didn't use any tweaks on that kit with fruit...

So my plan is to, split the, 6 gallon kit. Do one, 3 gallon batch with, Wyeast 4028 and use some, American oak Wine Stix broken down into a meritage type blend of, light, medium, medium plus, and heavy toast. For the second batch, I was going to use, Wyeast 4267 and a Bordeaux blend of, Wine...

I was going to split in, two, three gallon batches. I have a lug of cab grapes and was going to add them to both batches, since the kit did not have a grape pack. I made another one of these kits in bulk aging now, and like others have mentioned, it's pretty thin and light. With that kit, I...

Hey Joe, Thanks for the tip! I have a, WE Triumph kit I was going to split in, two, three gallon batches. I have a lug of cab grapes and was going to add them to both batches, since the kit did not have a grape pack. I made another one of these kits in bulk aging now, and it's pretty thin...

Corrado's wine store was in, Clifton last time I was there a few years ago. HUGE! Surprised they had nothing else, when I lived up there they used to have several types of yeast. There is a place in, Philly called, Keystone Home Brew. Everything I've order from them in the last few months...

Hey Joe, I see the, grapes in a non-stick frying pan. What's the idea behind cooking them? Are you reducing the juice to concentrate the sugar in the grapes? I can't tell, but it looks as if there is juice in the final pack, so are you pouring the juice and along with the grapes into the...

From Cellar Craft: Cellar Craft Showcase and Sterling red wine grape skin kits will now include two (2) kieselsol/chitosan dual packs. Internal clearing trials have shown that using two packs of kieselsol and chitosan result in a clearer red wine than our current clearing process which uses just...

Thanks, Rocky! I've been trying to go through, Joe's post as I get the time. Have a tight window to get some cab, merlot, and some other grapes. Trying to forecast what I may be working on in, February and what, DIY grape pack would work. Lot's of great info, thanks again! PS: My name...

Thanks Rocky! Yes, that certainly helped with a process. Unfortunately, I am down to, one red kit that does not have grapes, WE Triumph. I did another a month ago and kept thinking, it would be great if I could throw something in to pump up the volume, so to speak. Did you throw the juice...

I wanted to find out the original post and about how you made a grape pack about 4 pounds each. What exactly is this? I had seen on another post discussing the use of grapes from one wine kit into another wine kit. Was that what you meant, or were these fresh grapes that were of the same...

What is the process to creating a grape pack? I believe I've read some posts about people storing them for some time, do you need to treat with, kmeta or something else, or just throw in the freezer? I've have seen and have been searching other posts trying to find something about using...

That's below manufactures cost, what the manufacture is selling to the whole seller, then to retailer. I don't think I've seen a Du Pays below, $110. at retail--and that was a fire sale. I've made the, Walla Walla Cab/Mer (too young to tell). A friend of my has made all of the, Showcase series...

Do you treat the fruit or peppercorns prior to introducing to the must? Do you add into, primary or secondary? I've always wanted to try something like this but have been concerned about a mistake/results, especially on premium kit$$. Would it be crazy to try coffee beans or an old leather...

I just started a, Triumph and split into, two three gallon primaries, one with, BDX the other with, BM45. I have another, Triumph clearing split into, two three gallon carboys, one with, BDX and the other, MT yeast. Also clearing a, Walla Walla, split using, D254 and D80, plan to blend back...

I have a family friend who works for the parent co of, Vine co. Yes, RMC is done! The contract with the source expired and the vineyard owner did not want to renew, b/c he's going to bottle his own. Vine Co., couldn't guarantee the amounts needed from the immediate region, so they...

Cool, sounds good to me! I just got back into the sport. I did several kits back in the late 90's. It was actually, Keith Urban and a buddy who got me into it when I worked in the music biz. Then got out of it for several years and just realized after several wines that were not so good, that...

So what will this club do? I live in, MoCo, and was looking for one of these groups a few years ago. There was a group of people (some owned wineries) in the, Frederick area working through the, Cracked Cork, but the owner sold it and I think the group went underground.

Is any one who lives in the, DMV area interested in ordering any of the, CC kits? Was looking to make a group order.

I've had, six cards replaced since last, Dec. Thanks Target, Home Depot, Nordstroms, Lacie Hard drives, etc... I just stopped at a, Starbucks to buy my client a coffee and my card that has, six figures CASH in the account, was also just closed due to a breech. Chip technology cards can be...
