    It dosent say they the grapes are from Colorado, they look really good and at 25 brix Id bet theyre not. Theres nothing wrong with how hes making the wine, the fruit looked good so whos to say its not good wine?

    Thats a pretty broad statement, we have a ways to go, but there are some wines coming out of Colorado that rival the big boys around the world. The potential is there in terms of grape quality, we just need the winemakers to step it up with some serious education. In 10 years, you will eat those words.

    Since you are speaking with a lab technician, I would think you might want to ask more ?’s on the science side of making wine. Some I might suggest: What are the different kinds of acid that you need to consider when making wine? How do you measure these acids and what levels make for the best wine? What can spoil wine and how can you prevent or detect this? How does ph tie into wine making? Are there different results for white wine verses red wine?

    Are you a little concerned about watering down the wine with the ice?
    Try dry ice, its extremely cold and just evaporates as nitrogen gas rather than leaving you with extra water.
    Very nice work though, I am jealous.

    I love making country wines and watching this is just great. I would love to get into making huge amounts of wine and run a small wine making business selling locally, but I have to start making grape wine and taking it from there. I also culture my own yeast as I am a biologist and know how to do this. But that is for the advanced wine maker and isn’t very difficult to do. But yeah great video and really gets you into wine making. Many thanks

    Sweet Video! I am thinking about trying to make some wine at home. I have read a couple books, my favorite being “The Way to Make Wine-How to Craft Superb Table Wines at Home.” Along with books, video’s like this help a lot, as well as encourage me to give it a try. I know it is a lot of work, but it excites me, and I can see how it would be a labor of love!

    Thanks again for the cool video. Maybe if I move out to Colorado some time I will give you guys a visit!

    Was this your video? If it is, when you said that secondary fermentation was occurring in the stainless containers, were you running malolactic fermentation?

    So, it takes about a year and five months for wine to be ready. Cool.

    If you want to raise the acid, just add tartaric or citrus acid. Be careful, a little goes a long way. If you want to lower it, you have to run malolactic fermentation or cold stabilization sometimes reduces acid.

    How do you adjust the acid level? What chemical do you use? Enjoyed the video.
