There is not much that will degrade glass. Are you overfilling the bottles? You have to have a small air gap. I have used virgin bottles and commercial bottles - I have found no difference. #8 corks are for less than 2 years, #9 are for longer. I use strictly #9 and then I don't have to...

Saddle of rabbit wrapped around finely diced black olives, then roasted. Served with red cabbage, fennel, and of course sauce. Should have taken a pic.

Here's something for you - red okra. Forget the green stuff, this grows better and best of all they don't get stemmy. Even a large pod is still tender and tasty. I've been grilling them, skewer several, cover them in Trader Joe's Chile Lime or similar. Then on the grill for 4 min per side...

Frickin excellent! Hurrah for you! :try

Just don't listen to @BigDaveK, he'll have you making kudzu wine in no time!

I used to not cap, but I built wine shelves into the end of a hallway, wife thought the bottle displayed better with caps, so now I cap. Not a big deal.

Control and money. We are at the tail end of the last ice age, so yes the planet is warming, but not because of farting cows, carbon, oil, etc. The sun & our oceans are what control the temps. CO2 was around 2000ppm in the Jurassic era. Last ice age CO2 was around 180ppm, today it's 400ppm...

OP could use distillers yeast, but I wouldn't vouch for the taste of the wine. :rdo

You could try EC-1118 which has a higher alcohol tolerance, but even if that starts it probably won't ferment dry. I'd bet on thinning the mix, but please wait for some more replies before deciding what to do. BTW - Welcome to the forum

I'm pretty serious about drinking Wild Turkey while I make wine! I do get some strange blends though.

Makes it easy to see who 'they' are

I would tend to think there was some contamination already in the bag.

I have made both, they are excellent altough I prefer the PS

Look, the last several have come in the bag and just in a box. It's not much warmer than the stryofoam, but still cool. This is in 105* South Texas. I get my kits in 2 or 3 days. I have been ordering continuously this year, at least 6 kits since it got hot in June, and I have had no issues...

I remember seeing that as my Dad always took Popular Science & Popular Mechanics. It's probably better to give it to a recycler though. Rather not have it run through the aquifer just to get back into the shale.

Probably aids in the automatic bottling line.

Excellent - thank you

I know the advertised size is 5.3 gal, but is that measurement to the neck, shoulder or where? Mainly I'm wondering how much does this fermentor hold. Rated for 5.3 gal but will it actually hold 6?

I agree with @Ohio Bob If you had made Tavola then yes, but a bit early fro Forte. I would try them at Christmas and see how they're doing.

@RickC - Unless you are just wanting to wait there is nothing wrong with 77. I'm south of San Antonio and start at least 2 FWK every month, red or white, never an issue.
