I sent a question to Winepert/ Vinters Reserve, and asked how to read the date on their wine kits. The following is what they sent me, hope this helps anyone who is wondering when their wine kit was made.

Just started my 3rd batch of blueberry wine, 2 last yr. and this one, I used 15# of blueberries for 5 gallons, unprocessed cane sugar that looks, smells and taste somewhat like honey, and 1/2 cup of American oak chips, the starting SG was 1.101 and I used 116 yeast. Now my question is I'm...

Looking for the best cleaner to remove the film left behind from storing/aging wine in a gal. jug. I have some One Step, but thought about PBW, or Star San. Open to suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Just bought my first wine kit from Label Peelers, the Mezza Luna Red kit. I've made some fruit wines and always use a tool over the primary, never the lid, but the kit calls for the lid. Is there any reason why I should change my procedures now? I've never had a problem in the past with the...

Stay AWAY form it!!!! Just bottled my plum wine that I added the stuff to and it rase just like the stuff. Taste like the plum pitts, not plums, this is the wine I messed up on and thought that the all nat. flavoring would help bring out the flavor but it didn't. I added sugar to back sweeten...

Just started a batch of strawberry wine and did it right for a change. Used 21& 1/2 lbs. of strawberries for 5 gallons, this will be the first time I got the recipe right and even added extra to adjust for lack of ripeness. It smells great even while it's fermenting, can't wait to see how it...

This wine was the second blueberry wine I started and the first to be ready to bottle. I used the E.C. Krause recipe, and even though I shorted the blueberries by 1/2 lbs. it still turned out great. It's an off dry at 1.01 SG and taste good as it is. I just added the K Meta and the K sorbet and...

Has anyone used the Premium quality straight corks from Label Peelers? Reason I ask is I just ordered 100 of the #9 x 1 3/4, planning to bottle some wine using a hand corker. They say you should use a floor corker, but I believe at 6'3" and 265# I should be alright, or am I wrong?:ib

:h This is a great read for those having problems with fruit flies. http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/vinegar-flies

This may have been addressed already, and if so I apologize, but a'm I the only one that gets the idea that venders really have no idea how much alcohol a wine yeast will make. It is getting ridicules to try to find a yeast to restart a stuck fermentation when 1 vender says it will make 18% and...

Started a new patch of wine yesterday, plum this time, calls for 20 lbs. of plums for 5 gallons. I thought I had it made, I checked off all the ingredients as I put them in the bucket, then I moved it to the spare bathroom where I do the initial 7 day fermentation, and since the last 2 batches...

I just received an email from another wine making forum, blog or what ever, and the topic was how to get glue off of wine bottles. For those who have not seen my post int the thread "Glue Off" I will repeat it again, use oil to remove glue, once the paper is gone just put a bit of oil on the...

Hi folks, found this web site and thought it was a great place to learn. What I've seen so far looks great, and I look forward to learning all I can. I just stared making home made wine this year, I have 4 blueberry bushes ( 2 well established, and 2 young smaller bushes) together they put out...
