    Austin grape juice buckets

    I got some reds in August of last year from Austin Homebrew. I like how they are coming along, but it's still to early to say for sure. I might try the Chilean buckets this year. The one's I got in August were from California.

    What's this San Antonio regional wine making group you speak of? I'm in Spring Branch, just up the road, and would love to hear about it.

    Austin grape juice buckets

    I’m interested in people’s thoughts on this as well. I have 3 juice pails in my cart right now. I know someone on here bought the pails from Chile from Austin Homebrew earlier this year, but I don’t they’ve had enough time to be ready.

    Any recommendations for complimentary yeasts with reds? I've got a Merlot kit coming up.

    Update, I see the difference now, just the amount of juice in each kit. The light bodied are 4.8 liters, the medium are 5.2 liters and the full bodies area 16 liters of juice extract.

    @joeswine When you do the Wine Lover's kits are you starting with the low end, listed as light body, kits that show around 7% ABV? I'm just wondering what the main difference is in the kits, light, medium and full bodied, other than price.

    I added the Fpac after topping the juice up to 5 gallons and my SG was 1.104. I did not need to add any simple syrup to get the SG up, does that sound correct?

    Thanks Joe, I put it directly into the primary.

    When you make a fpac with fruit, do you put it directly in the must or put it in a strainer bag?

    Going to start a Fontana Merlot tomorrow. Planning on a 1lb blackberry FPac in the primary. Would you add Zante Currants to that as well? It seems like I've seen a 1/2 cup suggested for this. Standard 5 gallon tweak, with tannins in primary and secondary also.

    The price has been jumping around quite a bit the last month as I've watched it. Depends on whether Amazon has them in stock or you have to get them from other sellers too.

    Opening Wine Bags

    I grabbed my bucket lid opening tool last time and they came right off. It just happened to be handy, but made the job easy.
