I received this RJS Tjungu seasonal release kit for Christmas. It's a blend of Shiraz, Cab & Malbec. Have any of you tried this kit yet? I wish it came with grape skins. Still looking forward to trying it out. Mike.

Agreed. That's an outstanding looking cellar.

Nice work! I like your labels

It's young but it's delicious

my Nebbiolo!

Just pitched my RC-212 yeast and added about 50 grams of medium Hungarian oak clues to my must. This kit smelt amazing, I hope it comes out and tastes just as good. I'm sure this kit will need some age on it in the end. SG 1.100. I'll keep you posted.

@marquettematt thanks for the info. I'll try stratification, cheers

@stickman love that wine rack!

@heatherd why do you skip using sorbate?

That might be an interesting blend, using all 3. Grenache Syrah is one of my favourite blends. I'm by far an experienced wine maker but I say add some oak to the Grenache!

I keep my fermenting wine in the furnace room. Bulk aging corboys and bottles in the cellar. Much cooler temps

Perfect! Thanks LoveTheWine

Hello all, I'm looking to order some supplies online. I live in Canada and was curious if any of The Canadian members can point me to a good online retailer. Im not looking to order any kits because I have a closet full, but I would like to find a couple tools, some sanitizer, oak chips and...

Hello Rocky, Thanks for the replies. I looked through a bunch of Joes threads, he sounds extremely knowledgable. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Mike

Hey Bartman, I'm definitely going to try the yeast you recommended. I did a little reading and found that a lot of people prefer this strain (RC-212) for reds. When adding the raisins should I keep them in a strainer bag? I think I'm also going to switch the "light" oak for a medium...
