To Jack67 + Jaxk + others who has received my eMail,

1st lot of eMail on arrangement+equipment+kits sent last Friday, if u haven't received anything, please check your Junk Mail box.  If u can't find anything, please send a eMail to MontrealPost at Hotmail dot com.

If I don't receive any reply by Wednesday 8am, I'll assume that u're no longer interested.  I may go to wine supply store on Thursday/Friday.

Thanks!

Thanks, MP, I still have the bottle drainer (but interest in selling this alone), just threw away the blash bottle washer 3 weeks ago.  For sure the wine making kits are  second hand. Nowdays, you can not find any brand new kits which asking only $50 CAD.

Since u used the word "but", I assume u meant " but NOT interested in selling this alone".

My friends prefer new equipments.  May I ask why you threw out the blash bottle washer?  Do u remember when+where+how much u paid for it?  Thanks in advance!

又骗到一份评语：

"应MP邀请，对两种葡萄酒口味进行品尝，Merlot 和 Shiraz。 自己也不是很专业，而且两种口味很接近。仔细分别品尝了十多次，还是能区分出两种酒来，但是把这种感觉用语言表达出来，好像还是件难事，试着凭感觉说一下。

共性：外观澄清透明，红润，有光泽，看起来舒畅愉悦。端起酒杯晃一晃，闻一闻，酒香扑鼻，这时人已经醉了，被香气迷醉了。刚入口一瞬间感觉酒是甜的，圆润，柔和。酒进入口腔中，便会感觉到酒精麻醉舌头的感觉，有些沙口，针刺感，然后立刻感觉到单宁苦涩的特有味道，这时舌头不由自主地抵上颚，会感受到舌头接触上颚是涩涩的。其实涩也不是一种味道，更确切应该是触觉，干燥，收敛，摩擦的感觉。咽下后余味绵长，口感和香气会持续一会，回味无穷。

区别不大，Merlot口味偏清香，果味，清爽一些，圆润柔和一些。  Shiraz涩味和酒香味更重，酒精更浓。酒体和层次感更强。

葡萄酒的味道和感觉，口感实在太复杂了，真是很难用语言说清楚，每个人对口味喜欢不同，对感觉理解不同，以上仅个人体会。"

MP 后语:
1. 两种口味 原本(=应该)是不接近的，但  。  。  。 很多时，同一制造商+同一产品线的不同葡萄酒=>味道是很接近=非常相似 但又不同。
2. 给爱层次感的同学=> find a proper cellar~=cool basement, age wine for 3-6 months, 层次感更好。

Additional Notes:
1.  Not sure if it's the harvest/batch/all, the AR-CP Shiraz needs to be bottle aged for minimum 1 month.  Decanting needed when consumed early.

2.  "同一制造商+同一产品线的不同葡萄酒=>味道是非常相似 "; HOWEVER, after cellar age for ~6 months, the wines will become noticeably different.

3. 同一制造商+ 同/不同产品线+ 同一类的葡萄=>味道是不同的, e.g. Pinot Noir:
WE-SI-(Chilean) Purity-of-fruit and balanced style ,
WE-SI-(New Zealand) New-school Burgundy-style,
WE-WV-(California) Medium to Full-body, rich, ripe grape but not heavy,
WE-SE-(Sonoma) Wrestle your taste buds to the ground,  
WE-SO- Easy Drinking
WE-VR- Easy Drinking
WE-IM- Blueberry Pinot Noir - Light-Medium body, SWEET, blueberry, fruity summer drink.

楼上的一个制造商，同一个葡萄的种类，7个不同的wine kits，7个不同的味道，同学们 头晕了吗？

最后的一个评语(不想再害朋友写了 :p ):
"闻起来有烟熏得味道，喝着感觉苦涩味更重，口味的确不同(跟AR比较)。不足就是缺少些回味的感觉  。  。  。  。  。  。
上一桶酒(=AR Merlot) 酿的很好(=更好)  。  。  。  。  。  。 "

MP 后语:
1.  我们喜欢这个，想要一个简单的意大利红酒，吃意大利面时 用的。需要不同的酒 伴随不同的食物。
2.  此外: 大部份新酿的酒(第一个月左右)，酒精容易 "上头"。(=感觉 很容易醉 = 好好玩的 :cool: )

Took everyone (in wine making community) a long time to find info on the yeast for the Costco Paklab wine kits.  Only find an Italian data sheet on Levospark BK1:

http://www.tecnofood.it/schede/liev_levo/bk1_.pdf (意文真有趣！ )

It is temperature tolerant(10-30oC) and up to maximum of 16% alcohol. However, it's fermentation is slower, don't be surprised if it takes 10 days for primary.
(believe I've written: add ~2cups sugar=+1% alcohol; exact=17g sugar/liter of must to add 1% alcohol
Those of u who want to pump alcohol to max:  feed melted sugar(hot water) to primary over few days)
