Hello,
I'm a 20 year homebrewer and decided recently to try and make a batch of wine. I bought a no brainer kit and it seems to be working well, I'm a week away from bottling and no negatives so far.
My question is: I would like to use canned juice concentrate the next time and build my "kit" myself. I know I need yeast, whatever adjuncts I want (oak, etc.) a clarifying agent, and some sulfites. Can anyone offer some advice or point me to something in the archives or a site where I can find out how much Bentonite, Sulfites, etc. and the timing of them?
Any reference book for home winemaking that is as good as Papazian's beer book?
Thanks to any and all that can reply,
DArwin
