I am very sorry to hear about your chardonnay as I started my kit two days ago and I am following your advice on grapefruit zest, tannin and oak. I will keep you posted on how mine turns out. It smelled great yesterday and the yeast is going to town. I have hopes. Can you mix it your...

Hi, I have only made the kits and I did follow the directions. A sweet pack was added at the end stage. The kits have been wonderful and a favorite of those who like sweet stuff. I am not sure that this will help you out, but good luck.

Thank you for the information. I have been waiting for this to arrive so I can start the Winexpert Odyssey wine kit . I didn't want to use the yeast unless it would hopefully provide me with similar results as the last time I used it. Thank you again and have a great day. Lynn

I have been following information concerning wine and yeast. I am returning to the joy of wine making once again and I have a question about some yeast that I ordered and if what I was shipped is the same yeast but with a different package and name. I ordered and Enoferm BDX Bordeaux Red Wine...

Thank you so much for the information. Can't wait to try this. I hope it turns out similar to the 19 crimes Hard Chard. I just found it and I love it. Thanks again. Lynn

I hate to have to ask this, but is this the grated skin off of a grapefruit? Just want to check this out before I start a Chardonnay kit. Could you also fill me in on the need for tannins or not, type of oak for a heavy oak finish and anything else you can think of that might help. I usually...

Thanks for the information concerning the kit. I am getting excited and since you have made it can you tell me if it is sweet even a little bit? I very much dislike sweet wine and I have read that with the addition of the sweet pack is not desirable for those who really like dry wine. I...

Thank you for your reply to my question. I will certainly give the fruit a try in the future. Sounds really good and the addition of the fishing line to hold the fruit in the carboy will be tried shortly. Have a nice day.

Thanks for the web sites. I am looking at them now. I am sure that they will answer the question concerning the oak chips. Thanks again, Lynn

Craig, You are probably correct when you stated that I will have more questions. I am just having so much fun with all of this and I just don't want to make any mistakes. I usually follow the instruction to the letter, but often I wish that I would have added a little something to make it more...

I, in my youth, purchased a 60L carboy online called a Speidel. As of this date, I am now years older, and it has not been used. I shall dust it off and use it. Such fun to finally have it fulfill its destiny. I thank you and Craig for you advice and taking the time to reply to my concerns...

Thank you for your advice. Have a nice day.

OK, I really like your idea of using both kits since that was what I was really wanting to do. As I understand it, you think I should follow the kits direction for adding all of the ingredient, add tannin and then add additional oak at the aging process. I already have a super large carboy...

Thank you for your reply. I sort-of figured that might be an answer to my question and I will not combine the two. Now, do you have any thoughts on what I might add to the kit lacking the grape pack? Possibly raisins, as I have heard of using those and if so do you know what amount might work...

I have two kits, both are 3.17 gallons of juice, one was shipped without the grape pack while the other one has it included. The information on the website said that you would get 5 gallons of wine as a finished product. I thought that by making the two at once I might have get a nice result...

Thank you for the information. I really can't wait to give this a try. I will wait a few days to see if anyone else replies and see what they have to say. Thank you again and you have a nice evening.

I am new to the wine making game. What is an OG ?

Has anyone made a wine kit using two kits without additional water? I would like to try this with the Cru Okanagan Valley Meritage wine kit. I have read a thread that stated one should omit the sweetener and I will do that, but I just needed advice concerning the stronger solution for the...
