    RJ Spagnols RQ French Cab and Merlot Alternatives

    We have only 4 bottles left each of the 2017 RJS RQ french cab and french merlot, and they are just incredible. I'm sad they were RQs and we can't get them anymore, so I'm wondering what anyone would suggest for an alternative. I have bought and will soon start rjs Aussie cab. Maybe the FWK...

    Oak Chips Inc.

    Has anyone ordered oak from oak chips, inc.? www.oakchipsinc.com I generally use cubes in my kits, as they seem to be the best balance between cost and flavor. I got some samples from these guys a while back, used them in a kit and was really happy with the results. They told me they do small...

    Juice Bucket H2S Issue?

    Other Juice bucket post fermentation acid addition

    I've got a couple Chilean juice buckets and when I tasted them after fermentation they definitely seemed flabby and flat. I tossed them on oak cubes, but I got a pH meter to see where the pH is at and they are both around 3.7-3.8. Can I safely add tartaric at this point to bring the pH down...
