    Finer Wine Kit Oak

    Good to hear. I used 2.5 oz for my 6 gallon carboy and intend on 2 months. I understand that longer is (mostly) recommended, but it is a quick to drink FW kit.

    Finer Wine Kit Oak

    I just racked a FWK Novello from the fermentation bucket to a carboy. I decided to add some oak cubes from an open package. Now I'm wondering whether I screwed up by just dropping them in without any sanitizing. If so, how would I correct from here. If not, would 2 months be good enough before...

    cork life

    No, I have a floor corker. I make wine with my brother-in-law and those were the corks he bought (even though I suggested he buy the nomacorcs).

    cork life

    Unfortunately, we used #8 corks. Is there any risk in replacing wine bottle corks that are in for a few weeks?

    Finer Wine Kit Finer Wine Kits

    I never tried adding glycerin, but now it seems common. When I went to LP's website, they also offer "Fermfast Dual Smooth". Any thoughts about one versus the other?

    cork life

    I just bottled a couple of batches of wine that I expect will be used over the next 3-5 years. Unfortunately, I used corks that LP recommends for 1-2 years. Will that be an issue, and should I recork all with the better corks? Thanks in advance!

    When you say it cleared very well, what was the final color of your Peach Fuzz?

    RJ Spagnols RJS kits

    "...dealt with them,..." meaning winemakingsuperstore or Florida southern? Yes, I have made FWk and WE kits, but my bro-in-law prefers RJS. I will check out homebrewohio, have you bought from them? -thanks!

    Looking to restart my home winemaking with some RJS kits. What are the recommended shops to buy from these days? My quick search brought up winemakingsuperstore. Any feedback on that store? - Thanks in advance -

    fall wine buckets pricing

    I know the place where I bought from in the past has always been higher priced, but I see now they are $94 for California and $99 for Italian buckets. Both those prices have gone up by around $20 since 2017. What kind of price increase is everyone else seeing?

    You are conflating new car pricing of Teslas in China with used car pricing in the US. One has very little to do with the other. The used car market in this country is making all vehicles rise in price. "Used-car prices rose 40.5% in January from a year ago" Why Your Car Might Be Worth More...

    Most favorite?

    I know nothing can be predicted, and putting personal preference aside, but which varietals would one think is best to take a chance on for Chilean juice buckets this spring? Any thumbs up (or down) would be appreciated. These are my options: CHARDONNAY, GEWURZTRAMINER, MUSCATO, PINOT GRIGIO...

    Most favorite?

    Very interesting and coincidental; I was just wondering whether juice buckets can be awesome and what is the general ranking of wine made from grapes vs kits vs FWK kits vs juice buckets. I know there is a wide range but convinces me to grab some Chilean buckets this spring!

    Just to be clear, this was not meant to be negative towards Geek so I apologize if it was construed that way.

    If you have stock in Tesla, you are going to be a very happy person if you sell your stock when the market opens tomorrow. (Down 16% since then so I fixed the sentence.) Musk is smart in so many ways. Pure genius move (at this point) to sell $10,000,000,000 worth of his TSLA holdings back in...

    As Yogi Berra once said, "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." The US EV market share was at 2.2% in 2020 and kinda flat for the last 3 years. Electric car use by country - Wikipedia

    Who writes these bills, and, more importantly, who reads and understands what the heck they say! Here's an excerpt (that seems to relate to texting while driving) to make your eyes glaze over: (G) in paragraph (6) (as so redesignated)-- (i) in the matter preceding subparagraph...
