What to do with White grapes

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

Aidas, if my interpretation skills are what I think they are, I believe that what Goose-eye is telling you is that in his neck of the woods, folks are just used to drinking clear spirits, no matter what the taste and that once you start colouring them up with char, wood, caramel, and the like, they become suspicious that you are trying to fool them into drinking low quality goods, just because you make them look like the regular store bought stuff.

Gooseye - I apologise if I have put the wrong interpretation on your statement.
Cheers

The lees have yeast in with them already so all i have to do is add suger water to grapes and let set for couple weeks. You can even make third or more wines. I built a fruit prees to help out the with the process. The amont of time saved is amaising!
