Bottled a Cab.

[Scott B]

I Bottled a Orchard Breezin Acai Respberry Cabernet Sauvignon. It turned out good. I added 4 cups of sugar, half the f-pack at the startand Cab grape skins from another kit.(second use on the skins)

Great label and a beautiful batch!

 

[Goodfella]

Yeah... Looks good Buddy. Good job.

 

[ibglowin]

Beautiful job and great labels.

Does that say 14.8 %ABV? Thats a potent batch!

 

[Runningwolf]

Beautiful Label! I See 11.8% ABV

 

[vcasey]

Nice label and I see 11.8% also. I think Mike is dreaming.

 

[Wade E]

11.8% but I can ee how you could see 14.8% or for that matter 44.8% WOW, now that would be some Port!

 

[admiral]

Very nice! Great job!

 

[Scott B]

Thanks all for your nice words.
It is 11.8 abv. The type font was a little fancy!

Scott,
great looking label.
have you tasted the wine?
I have been debating with myself on getting this kit.

 

[Scott B]

Greg,
Yes I have tasted the wine. Itis very good.
But it is a bit heavy on the Raspberry.


I have made 3 batches of the WE Island Mist Black Raspberry Merlot and it had just a lite taste of Raspberry.

That is a mighty fine looking batch of wine you have there!

I'm thinking about ordering one of those kits too and tweaking it. The addition of grape skins sounds good, but all I have are Primitivo grape skins from a RJSValpolicella kit (that I haven't even started yet) that I would like to use... would that work? (I'm not up to snuff on grape varieties). Did you freeze the skins in between uses? When you added the sugar to up the abv, did you add it in the form of simple syrup or did you just stir it inand let it dissolve in the juice concentrate?

Looks good!

Batavia,
Thanks for the kind words.
I think any skins will work. I use some Cab skins I had saved after doing another kit. Yes, I froze the skins until I need them. I wanted to add a little body into a thin kit. I do not remember how I did the suger. I have done it both ways. I think it works both ways.
