I have corny scars in my right bicep.

Hey I just wanted to thank you again for your information. I went ahead and continue to move forward with this and it came out amazingly! So now I have a Balcones blue corn whiskey Cabernet Sauvignon that is pretty outstanding. I thought I would share a picture of the final product.

Thank you. Yes, I did use Bentonite in the beginning and yes these kits are very paint by number.. Makes them great for experimenting, hence the whiskey barrel. It smells fine, haven't tasted this round, but I'm about to rack it again and add sparkloid. Thanks again for all the knowledge!!

I'm following the directions that came with the Winexpert kit. Steps 3 and 4.

This isn't my first rodeo when making wine but I I'm working through some experiments. I secondaried wine (Eclipse Zin) in a whiskey barrel (Balcones) then just transferred it into the tertiary and added my chitosan. It's only been 5 days ( 6/14/18) and this has happened. It's not something I've...

I probably have! And you're very welcome!

Although I work at Austin Homebrew Supply (6 years), I ebb and flow in brewing. I brew beer, cider, wine, make cheese, learning about the distilling process, yogurt.. you name it... Just not all the time. I started out learning from a friend 10 years ago and it just took over. Countless times...

So far, y'all have been a wealth of knowledge for my 2 year lurking ass!

I'm not new here.. New to posting.. sort of.. Bishop - Crackberry Cider (leftover from a party) Black IPA - mine.
