We try to be as cheap as possible so haven't used kits with wine. The homemade beer I have had that wasn't from a kit was not very good. It sounds like it would challenging but fun to try to make.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366265723756163595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321864236365403923.post-4538230048165895232009-01-19T19:13:00.000-06:002009-01-19T19:13:00.000-06:00Well, Ken seems to have been pretty consistently s...Well, Ken seems to have been pretty consistently successful in using the Mr. Beer kit, so it may be just a matter of using pre-mix ingredients. The results may not be all that stellar, but apparently they're good enough to be drinkable at any rate (according to him).TSOTEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393700603169574150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321864236365403923.post-75788350793205954712009-01-19T17:13:00.000-06:002009-01-19T17:13:00.000-06:00Tom- it's sort of odd that we make wine since we d...Tom- it's sort of odd that we make wine since we don't drink very often. It has just been a fun creative outlet. We just use the one gallon carboys and have fun with it. We just find it great that we can actually make something that comes out pretty good.<BR/><BR/>From what I have heard from friends, homemade beer is much more difficult to make just right.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366265723756163595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321864236365403923.post-47455076462637616402009-01-19T16:32:00.000-06:002009-01-19T16:32:00.000-06:00Yeah...definitely cute!Yeah...definitely cute!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15539232387597508849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321864236365403923.post-32993515294381322202009-01-19T11:26:00.000-06:002009-01-19T11:26:00.000-06:00I got my dad into wine making after I returned for...I got my dad into wine making after I returned form Vietnam in 1970, and we used 5 gallon 'carboys' with fermentation locks. I made beer a few times but could not get the right flavor and texture, so I went back to store bought stuff. Now days, I don't drink so much. <BR/><BR/>Tom<BR/>tschuckman@aol.comHeli gunner Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793588674806453096noreply@blogger.com
