    Finer Wine Kit FWK freezer temp?

    I just started my blueberry FWK and I noticed in the instruction manual that Matteo mentions not storing the juice a freezer colder than -10F. Anyone have any idea why this would be. I currently have 4 other kits being stored in my deep freeze that averages around -11F but swings between 0F...

    Other Vanilla extract

    I've been curious to see if anyone has been adding vanilla bean or extract to their dry red wine kits (pre or post fermentation) for a little vanilla boost? Nothing excessive, just a little to add some more pronounced vanilla notes. Anyone with experience doing this, what has been your results...

    Non-foaming Star San?

    A while back I came across a video of a company that developed a Star San like product that was specifically non-foaming (low foaming). It wasn't Saniclean or One-Step. It was specifically compared to Star San as an acid based sanitizer that worked just like it but didn't have the persistent...

    Press for skins?

    Does anyone know of an affordable and effective press that works for squeezing the last bits of goodness from wine skin bags (post fermentation)? I'm not looking for something big or strong enough for pressing juice, just enough for skin packs. Or a "life hack" that doesn't involve a...

    juice suppliers in Texas (San Antonio)?

    Howdy, Anyone know of some wine makers or distributers in Texas, preferably the San Antonio area, who sell non-concentrated juice for wine making? It would be nice to find a brewer or supplier to purchase juice from when it's in season. Appreciate any recommendations! -B

    Wine Kit - clearing & aging?

    Before someone smokes me for not doing more research, I've already spent hours reading through previous posts. I'm not completely new to forums and totally understand that people get upset when newbies don't use the search button. Trust me, I totally understand. Please have some mercy on me...
