I would love too!....if I were of legal age to buy XD. Expanding my wine knowledge is becoming somewhat difficult thanks to that, but thankfully SC has laws allowing me to drink at home as well as make my own wines. I do plan on making a few purchases like that later though - I've been reading...

I have to say, I've never seen a more supportive group of hobbyist (and i tend to pick up a lot of those.) Thank you everyone. though craigslist is bone dry I've had to hunt for things like this before and it seems I wont have too much trouble from here.

That sounds pretty outstanding. I'm kind of curious about separating it into a sweet and a dry variant now, though I feel I'd be more likely to mess something up that way XD. I'd just like to get to taste what differences things like that can make. I'm trying to use this not only as a hobby, but...

From what I can tell, I have old fashioned bronze scuppernongs. what exactly does the wine taste like once finished an properly aged? or look like for that matter? also, does it age well? I'm considering keeping a bottle for a few years if so.

Thank you for all of he help, I think I will try making a batch of skeeter pee so I dont gt confused and waste good scuppernongs....plus since they dont really grow untill summer...I think I'll have time for both.

Since I'm about 45 mins from charlotte I may have to look around a bit for future endeavors...or if the scuppernongs are less cooperative than expected. thank you for the recomendations. By the way, would a collapsible fermentation jug be an acceptable alternative to a carboy? I'm finding 5...

I'm planing to use my own fruits, actually. The previous owner of my dads house was a huge gardener, and left behind tons of scuppernongs, plums, figs, apples, and pears. Im in york SC, though if you think it'd be wiser to try with professionally farmed juice.

Thank you, I was a bit concerned since i saw a fair bit of mention of things like meat grinders and food processors being a bad idea since the seeds will leave a bad taste. I've made jelly from them before and breaking so many thick skins open was quite a pain...would either of these be a bad...

If I may ask, why a 6 gal carboy specifically?

So, thanks to the former owner of my dad's new house, I now have access to quite a lot of these, which I see falling wasted to the ground every year. I'd love to know where exactly to get started with these, mostly concerning making them into a must. Would I need to avoid crushing the pits? as a...

Thank you so much, I'll definitely be looking in with a friend of my moms for his old throwaways, but for the most part this doesn't seem like it will be too much trouble

I'm a college student, so just the later XD

So, I've decided to start picking up all the information I can pertaining to wine making in preparation for this summer, when I will be trying it for the first time. I've been looking around online and see nothing but premade kits when I try to find out everything I need (and how much I can...

Hello all! My name is Jacob and I'm currently a college student who happened to discover a fascination with wine through my culinary beverage courses. Long story short, I've learned there's a lot to gain from wine knowledge, and I'm hoping to gain a bit of that through experience, as well as...
