First Kit Wine

[JWMINNESOTA]

The Pinot Grigio is coming along well, should be stabilizing and clearing around Tuesday.

First kit wine for me, gotta love it!

Looking good there JW!

I love the slight green tint of the grigio. My Vintner's Reserve Grigio looked exactly the same

 

[jsmahoney]

Keep us informed, JW I'm curious on the taste too!

 

[JWMINNESOTA]

Seems everyone is making labels, so figured it was close enough to consider one.

Only thing that I would say is for your your first completed kit something a "little" more elegant might be in order.


Still laughing thinking of the verosciuos dog!!!!!

WOW! That scared me when I scrolled down JW!

 

[Wade E]

Chuppacabra!

 

[JWMINNESOTA]

The Mad Dog Grigio Chuppacabra is moving right along, sg .993 yesterday and today, so on to stabilising and clearing step. Hard to stir it all up when looking so clear, back to mud wine for a few days!

Wow... Yours is SOoooooo much lighter than mine. Mine is almost a brown color. I just added the clearing agents and it has lightened up a little, but still very dark.

 

[JWMINNESOTA]

Your right, I should dress it up a little since its the first.

 

[JWMINNESOTA]

Jobe,I dunno if thats good or bad, or maybe just the light from picture angle... this was taken about 30 min after I added the clearing agents. Compared to the look before I did, it was very clear, and now very cloudy.

Here's a pic of mine:

Here's a pic of all of them: for contrast purposes (and to drive Wade nuts, the blackberry Port is on the right....LOL)

The five gallon, and the 2 liter smaller bottle in front is the Pinot Grigio. It is a little clearer than it was yesturday when I added the clearing agent, so we'll see, but it's a whole lot darker than yours appears to be. Mine is a Heron Bay Kit by the way.

 

[Wade E]

Oh Mama!

 

[docbee]

Oh JW much more elegant. It is perfect!!!!

 

[JWMINNESOTA]

We are in the final stages, clearing very well, taste excellent I must say (yeah,I tried a "little") Has that zip of a Grigio, so must be headed in right direction. Ready to bottle in a week or so.

Just to see if there is any difference in filter vs non filtered, and since this carboy was only five gallon, and I had a gallon in a one gallon carboy...Ifiltered the gallon, and doing this one without. Good way to see I think. Even dressed her up a bit for Doc!
