    Other Master Vintner Kits?

    Is there anyone who has made the Chardonnay? I would like to pick up one to try. Love a good Chablis.

    Northern Brewer still has the 20% coupon and the same pricing as Midwest.

    WineXpert Kit Chemistry Off?

    I agree with boatboy. You can always add tartaric acid post fermentation.

    WineXpert Kit wont clear

    I have two white wine kits that had dropped perfectly clear until I added more K-Meta and tartaric acid. It looks clear until I put a flashlight on it and then it looks like fine dust particles floating. One has been this way for 6 months. Should in try other fining agents or cold crash? I...

    Other Master Vintner Kits?

    Their Limited Edition kits look strikingly similar to 2017 RJS French Reatricted Quantities. Is this just a coincidence?

    Sulfite at Bottling

    I see charts and calculators that tell you the desired free sulfite in wine based on the pH. Is this the level of free sulfite I want at bottling or do I want to account for the loss of free sulfite during the bottling process? Thanks in advance.

    Did you change out your yeast or use the 1118 that came with?

    Riesling Yeast Suggestion

    Most of the yeasts mentioned work best above 50 degrees with the exception of 71B which needs to be above 60.

    Riesling Yeast Suggestion

    Either BA11 or QA23 will work well. I also used 71B on the Riesling Passport kit this past year and it has turned out nicely.

    Vineco Vineco Passport 2018 LE Kits

    Did the 2011 kit include any oak? Also does anyone know if this year's Viognier Roussanne Marsanne kit it oaked?

    RJ Spagnols Age Makes a Difference

    Very unlikely. Your wine at that point still has a lot of CO2 and the off gassing from it should protect your wine from oxidation. You say that your wine are disappointing, is there a particular off taste that you are getting?

    WineXpert California Sauvignon Blanc Rosé

    If anyone is looking for another kit, Homebrew Supply has some that they just listed for $99.99 and use the "TAKE40" coupon. Comes out right at $60 before shipping. I just ordered 2 more.

    WineXpert LE Vermentino

    Is yours that bad? I added some tartaric adic that seems to help but still nothing special.

    Wine & Kegs, 2017

    I plan on kegging one of my white wine for the first time. Do I need to cold stabilize to remove diamonds before kegging or will it be like beer and the remaining sediment will just come out on the first pour?

    WineXpert LE Vermentino

    Mine is sitting at 3.52 as well. Really haven't tried it yet.

    WineXpert Question about LE Australia Grenache and Cab with Grape Skin

    I'm getting close to starting my kit and was planning on using MT yeast. I would like some feedback on whether y'all think I should proceed with the MT only or use the 71B along with the MT. I've only used 71B once and it was with the 2017 Passport Riesling and had good results but seems odd...

    Will this be a sparkling wine or do you have it on nitrogen or argon?
