home winery supply ?

[FTC Wines]

Anyone have a recommendation on Home Winery Supply's fruit concentrates i.e. Blueberry, Elderberry Etc. Good, thin?? Making a road trip 4th of July to Mi. & going right buy Dundee, Mi. would save on shipping. Tks, Roy Fightingtown Creek Wines

Roy, I this might be the site Julie buys from. I'm sure she'll have some good recommendations.

I hope she does. Why 5 gallon concentrates with 6g carboys, I wonder?

 

[Julie]

Yes, that sounds like the place I buy from. They also have a brewery if you are headed there. I have bought the blackberry and had no trouble. It is not thin and full of flavor.

Thanks Julie, Their prices seem very reasonable so I was curious as to quality. Looking to make a Blackberry/Elderberry mix & a few others. Roy Fightingtown Creek Wines

I used 5 gallon concentrates with 5g carboys.

I mentioned 6g b/c their pdf lists a 6g carboy as part of the needed equipment. I wish they did a slightly larger qty for 6g batches - all of my carboys are 3 & 6 gallon.

Where are you going in Michigan?? My nephew goes to Cap n Cork in Macomb, MI just north of Detroit. http://capncorkhomebrew.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

The web site stinks but their prices are very good. My nephew has picked up supplies for me a few times.

Winepig, Wer'e going to Fenton, south of Flint. Home Winery Supply is only 1.5 mi. off of 23, which is the main road to get to Fenton. So I figured we would try them out. Roy Usually wouldn't drive 600 mi. to pick up wine supplies, but what the heck!

The pear concentrate has an amazing aroma to it. The Elderberry is good also
