Moscato FWK has been aging now for about three months. I took a sample of it today for a taste test. I did not like it. For one it just wasn't sweet enough for me. It came with one sweeter pack which I used. Didn't taste like the Moscato I wanted so I slowly add 2 more cups of sugar syrup until...

I have 2 finer wine kits that I would like to start but am unsure if I should start them now or wait until cooler weather. My wine room, such as it may be, is not temperature regulated. The temperature can very 6 or 8 degrees in the summer month. Lately with this hot weather we are having (85 to...

I started trying a few red wines and would really like to know what I am tasting that is so bad to my taste. I will start with Apothic red blend, this stuff is horrible! I don’t know what the most pronounced taste is, but I hate it! Maybe strong tannin or oak? The next pick was Sangria, all...

Is there a certain brew belt that everyone recommends? I would like to get one for my 7.9 gallons fermenter. My house cools a little at night and I am hoping this may keep the temps constant in my fermenter.

I guess most of the real wine makers and tasters have seen this, but I found it most interesting. I believe it will make it much easier for me to narrow down what types of wine I may like.

I have 9 pounds of triple berry fruit. Blackberry, Raspberry, and blueberry. At first I was going to make more dragon blood. Now I am wondering if I should order some kind of cheap wine kit and use the berry‘s for it. Or is there some other way to use them to make a good wine? I don’t always...

I really don’t care for real tannic dry red wine. I'm wondering if the FWK Syrah Forte without skins would be a better option for me? I am going to start this kit tomorrow and was curious how it might turn out with out the skin packs?

I have been thinking about making a Shiraz wine kit. There seems to be a few different ones out there. I like dark fruits and chocolate. I am wanting a kit that goes well with red meat. I think the Shiraz kit maybe a good one but would like to hear what others think. Also I really don't want to...

I started make my FWK on 3/29/23. I follow the direction, at least so I thought I did. I just realized that I shorted the water by about 1/2 of a gallon but am not sure exactly how much. The 7.9 gallon bucket I used seem to be off after the 5 gallon mark. Here are the stats as of 3/30/23 as I...

I have 6 gallons of SP waiting to be bottled. It has been sulfited and back sweetened. The question I have is can I turn my six gallons of SP into Dragon Blood at this point? What would happen if I would stuff in a bag of 3 berry fruit mix? Would it need to be fermented again? The only reason...

I am fairly new to wine making. Doing it for 1 year now. I have done only a few different wines. All but one were at least drinkable. The few that I have tried have been WineExperts Moscato 1 gallon wine kit, Muscat grape concentrate juice, Welch Red Concentrate, and Skeeter Pee. I like...

Looking for some Mascato juice concentrates. Any suggestion on what to buy?

I have racked my first 6 gallons of SP into another carboy now the fermentation is complete. I need to top it up to the neck. Would y’all recommend I do it with lemon juice or water? I am making 6 gallon and have used 3 32oz bottles of lemon juice so far. I see some are putting way more juice in...

Hi everyone. I have been trying my skills at wine making for about 3 months now. My first was a WineExpert Moscato 1 gallon kit. It came out OK but not quite as good as a commercial bottle. A little darker than commercial Moscato also. Then I when on to ordering some Moscato juice and tried a...
