Is there a vinter's equivalent of www.howtobrew.com?
I've been tossing around the idea of making some wine (red). Ive got 8+ years of beer brewing experience under my belt (or hanging over my belt if my pants are too tight), so I probably have a good bit of the necessary equipment already.
My local homebrew shop sells wine-kits, but I believe they make 5 gallons, and I don't know if I want to jump in with a 5 gallon batch as a first try, so I'm kind of checking out what my options might be for doing a smaller batch. (Can I use grape juice from the grocery? What brand(s)?)
However, if I'm going to have to press grapes myself to make a smaller batch, I might just have to bite the bullet and use a 5 gallon kit.
I'm going to start digging through old threads to see if I can get some of the more basic questions answered, but I'd like to know who the experienced vinters are so that I can start bugging the sh*t out of you.
