    I bought two Winexpert Selection Valroza winemaking kit off Craigslist at half retail. They were unloading a bunch of different kits but the others did not interest me. What are thoughts on tweaking this kit? It is an upgrade from Winexpert Vinters Reserve. I would probably add Zante...

    So this wine is aging in a 5 gallon carboy. It has been sitting for over a month and I added clarifier last night. I tasted it and my wife thought it was a bit sour/tart. Wondering if I should back sweeten or let it sit. I am in no rush. Thanks.
