Keep us posted on how it turns out. I received my kit yesterday. When I get back from my business trip next week I'll start a batch. I have a new friend that has been doing this for a while and will show me some of his tricks.

Huh...the picture is vertical now. weird.
I sampled the wine (or must, as it is called at this stage) when transferring it into the secondary and it tasted pretty good, so unless something very bad happens, I think it should turn out well.
what kit/kind are you making stevepitts?

I have actually made some pretty darn good wine with the old milk jug.. welches grape juice, yeast, and some sugar trick.. oh.. I forgot to mention the balloon.. lol.. you can make a gallon of wine for almost nothing.. wine making can be a simple or as hard as you want it to be..
I used to go out in the woods, shoot possum grapes out with my pistol, beat them with a 2x4 in a bucket.. strain them through a old pillow case, let them ferment and make wine... IMO it wasnt as good as the milk jug wine..lol
