@Khristyjeff in post # 27 you wrote "added a blackberry f-pac". Did you make the f-pac from the 'tweaking cheap kits' thread instructions or did you buy it pre-maid? I am very interested in the WineLovers kits.

Have you thought about Walker's Wine Juice? Not grapes but juice. They seem to have a good reputation here on WMT. Walker's Wine Juice, New York

I have an Apera PH60 meter and have had no problems with it. I also purchased the buffer and storage solutions, so the price came to about USD 100. I don't use it often but it seems to be a quality piece of gear.

Looks like you could easily turn it into a bong🤣

Never give up. Use vinegar as an absolutely last resort. If you have to go to vinegar it will make a wonderful bait to go in fruit fly traps.

Wow!! What a bottle!

Welcome to the friendliest place on the interwebs! Country wine is my area of interest also.

Any idea what could cause tanks to fail like that? Such a shame, but no use crying over spilled milk wine.

Which native fruits do you have access to? If you can get lemons, you could make 'out-of-this-world' skeeter pee.

If I have done the math correctly, 1 quart Coloma plus 3 quarts water should equal one gallon. For a six gallon batch that would be 6 quarts Coloma or 5.68 liters per 6 gallon batch. The entry level/cheap kits (my Winexpert Classic Washington Riesling) provide 8 liters per 6 gallon batch. I...

It is possible that you need yeast nutrient and yeast energizer to get a good, complete ferment.

Sounds delicious. Do you backsweeten? to what S.G.?

@silverbullet07 Can you taste residual sugar with these that have stuck at 1.010 ? I am "Coloma curious"

5101 + 5 = 5106
