Hi! OK, ready to bottle WHoo Whoo! SO here is the history: Made jan 4 2015 (over a year ago), its the Old Lodi Zin kit. I racked on 1/11, stabilized on 1/31, racked again on 2/14, 4/4 clarified on 5/16, racked in july and addeed camden, racked in november added camden. So now I am here...

So I decided it was time to start the Super Tuscan today... I did a little reading up, and it seems this kit starts a little low on the sugars. Mine was not too bad compared to some of the others I saw.... my juice registered 1086 without the skins in yet. So this is my question.... I got the...

Hi! So we started our first kit last night- a Christmas present of Zin from WineXperts. I am very excited. I have made beer before, so this was simple (don't shoot me- it IS much easier so far than beer!) Anyway, we had it started and realized I have no wood powder. I have the cubes...

Hi- I am Dave in Salt Lake! I have made beer before, and decided to start on wine when one of my wives (This is Salt Lake City, I have 5) gave me a wine making kit for Christmas. That was a joke BTW. I only have 3 wives, 5 would drive any sane man crazy. :slp Staring with a Zin kit... from...
