Default This is too easy!

Years ago I became interested in brewing and decided to try fermenting
a gallon of apply juice. The resulting beverage was nice, but
uninspiring. A while back I caught the bug again and decided to try my
hand at winemaking. I started with one of Jack Keller's recipes for
wine from Welches concentrate. I used Concord juice and the resulting
wine was surprisingly good, so I decided to try again with Niagara
concentrate. Wow! Even though it's a little young (one month since
bottling), it's better than many commercial white wines that I've had.
If I'd known it was this easy to make great wine, I would have started
a long time ago.

With each success comes a greater interest. At this point I have 7
separate gallons in progress. Everything from Meads and Pyments to
regular wine from Vinifera concentrate. An intervention might be
required in the near future :-}

I'm making this post not to brag about my results thus far... my early
success can be attributed to Jack Keller, Welches, and a few million
happy yeast cells. My intent is to spur any lurker's into action;
winemaking requires a great deal of patience, but surprisingly little
effort.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for their sage advice. I've learned a
lot from searching through old messages. It seems as though every
possible question has been asked at some point.

Regards,

Greg G.

Congratulations. Hope you stick with it and enjoy your new hobby. The
Welch's does come out surprisingly nice doesn't it. It is also a good
blender for fruit wines.
