Thank you for the clarification. Do you make your wine from grapes or from a kit? I am not near any wine producing region (the Okanagan is 800 km and several mountain passes away) so have been using kits for wine. Would be really lovely to be able to purchase or grow grapes

Went in and ordered this today, now the wait is on till April...

Is this one of the limited edition releases?

Thank you! Will try this, hopefully it is available here

Thanks, great advice! My wine supplier does have these for pre-order so I will order this. Looking forward to trying this product.

Hello, I am fairly new to wine making, started about 16 months ago. So far my favourite is Cellar Craft showcase Barbera which I started about 14 months ago. I wanted to start a new batch but was told in the store it has been discontinued [emoji22] Can you recommend another wine that is similar...

I’ve started making sausage, usually a venison/pork blend and am experimenting with smoking, would like to learn how to dry-cure. Also am trying to learn Spanish as a by-product of our hiking hobby, we like to hike in Spain. And trying to improve my wine making of course :) Also have a...

Sounds wonderful! Can you please share your recipe or method for this? Thanks

Thanks, I really should start making tasting notes and see how it develops. Haven’t done this yet, I started making wine about a year ago, but now that some of the wines have had a chance to age a bit it would be good idea to compare. Do you bulk age or bottle age?

Thanks, I will give it some time then. Do you bulk age or bottle age?

Excellent thead! So I splurged today based on posts here and bought the NZ Sav Blanc & the Super Tuscan, pretty excited to try them. My question is how long do you age the NZ Sav Blanc?

Hi, the slurry was from a white wine which I racked into a carboy about a week or so before I made the skeeter pee. I kept the gross lees (slurry) back in a mason jar in my fridge until I was ready to start the SP. It is fermenting very well ATM. I have only made wines from a kit so far which...

Thank you, that makes sense. Plus it’s free waste not want not ...

Hi, the skeeter pee is in a primary atm so no airlock. Looked like general signs of fermenting, starting to bubble lively. No scientific evidence. I chose to err on the safe side and added my reserved slurry. I think next time I might use a package of yeast instead. The first 2 batches...

Slurry is from a GC Chenin Blanc kit. Probably EC 1118? But not 100% on this. Yeast I was using for the other kits I started yesterday was EC 1118

Hi, I started my 3rd batch of skeeter pee yesterday, prepared everything for adding the yeast slurry later today...except when I checked on it this morning it looks like it is already fermenting. 1. Should I just let it do it’s own thing? 2. If I do add the yeast slurry will the end product be...

I use ketogenic diets from time to time...usually stay in ketosis after having a dry red or white but...I find wine affects me a LOT more when I am in ketosis

Thank you and I expect it to be a short term project with summer coming and all that :fsh
