I call it quality control tasting. 🤣

Somewhere that it will never be found...🤣🤣🤣

I have yet to try making a cherry wine but it's on my to do list. We bought a cherry tree at Costco this spring but unfortunately it didn't live and so my dream of having my own is going to be on hold for now. I've never heard Juneberries called Saskatoons. I have a tree in the backyard and...

My continuing gopher saga... I tried a sulfur bomb to kill the little S.O.B.'s which did absolutely no good. I then got creative and hollowed out a carrot, filled it with poison pellets and struck it down one of the runways. I'm pretty sure that that must have gotten one since the hole has not...

I was the same way before retiring...I still don't get anything done now 🤣

You guys have me super curious as I've never tried making a banana or banana mix wine. Does anyone have a recipe to share?

Ribs on the Traeger...they smell so good right! now 😋

I'm making ribs on the Traeger! They smell soooo good 😋

I've only ever added 1/4 tsp. but I don't bulk age so that's why I feel comfortable with that amount.

I did the same thing last time I made it... going off the fact that my previous batch turned out so good, I wasn't as meticulous and I ended up with my ferment stalling at 1.008. We live and learn 😊

I agree with @KCCam. I've had wine start to clear within 48 hours but other times it takes quite a bit longer. It depends on the temperature of the room too. I've never heard of the flavor dropping out either but maybe someone else had more experience with that.

The color is gorgeous! I swear every time I pour a glass I comment on how beautiful it is.

Oh my gosh, I lost track of this thread for some reason but so glad I popped in to see your post about the free shipping!!! Thank you @DizzyIzzy!

Not at all... it's still at the top of my list! The combination of berries results in a wine that's so flavorful that it's hard to beat. I'm not a fan of oak myself (I think that's why I don't like whiskey 😅) and I no longer add the raisins or bananas (mainly because I never have them around...

On the west side of Washington State they grow wild everywhere! I need to make a trip over there when they're ready this year

I love when the fruit starts coming on in my yard...I have strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and they'll all go in the freezer for wine. I've got some grapevines planted as well but it will be a couple more years before they are producing. I joke that I will only have plants around that...

I'll be anxious to hear how it turns out!

It's Your's is probably the smarter way to go as you aren't taking any chances!

I just checked my lime Skeeter and it finished fermenting at .988. It was already starting to clear in the primary so I've been racking and treating this morning. I went what I thought was easy on my backsweeten but it ended up a little higher than I wanted at 1.016. It's still a long way from...

I was wondering which variation of Dragon Blood or Skeeter Pee you've made that is now a favorite? Or are the originals still your go to? For me, my favorite Dragon Blood version is a toss up between the original and a Concord grape. Then my husband loves my pink "Moscato" variation which is...
