Hey everyone, i am a seasoned homebrewer who is intrigued by the idea of making my own merlot. I am wondering though, I see the kits at the LHBS that include a grape juice concentrate, but are there any home wine makers that press their own whole grapes?
( I cant help but feel i am reverting back to the extract domain if I buy one of these expensive kits.)
also, am i going to have to sneak out to the vineyards one night to steal a few bunches of merlot grapes? or does any seasoned "all grape" wine maker have a better idea of where i can score some grapage?
The whole idea of not using grape juice is very important to me, any help with this is appreciated
thanks for the help
