Yea but it's the waking up at 3AM, slumped over my keyboard all the time, that I would hate!

C'mon, I've had hooch before, the best part is when you smack your lips, and say AAHHHHHH!

I just racked, and tried my Bourdeaux style kit, 7 months out. Unbelievable! I can't express how good it is, you have to be there! Zin is next!

THAAAAT's a tough life!

Great information!

You are over thinking it. Take a step back, wine is easy, don't complicate it! Wine is very forgiving, and will stay valid for a long time. I would wait it out!

I consider those as 'the cost of doing business' (making wine)!

. . . an excellent assumption, I wonder if they explored that, I'm going to say 'probably', but ideas are like that- they pop up! Maybe an early (extra) acid addition is warranted?

The wine I'm having right now is really good! I'm sure that the wine that I have tomorrow will be good too, or is that too simple!

This is just a test batch, I like to keep my mistake batches small, then tweak and expand. Mmm, hot peppers, count me in on the pepper-head thing! Jalapenos, Serranos, and Cayenne are staples in my house, and ALWAYS on hand in the freezer! I don't like the 'Blow your head off hot', but if I'm...

Mine is a cyser metheglin. 100% apple juice base with 5 spice, I'm hopeful, it sounds so good, maybe a holiday treat! 4 months out, hmm, waiting!

I want to wait a year (at least), maybe two (seeing that it's a mead), we'll see (not bloody likely!) It's only a gallon so . . .

Me too, try the 5 spice blend, easy peasy. Do what you WANT to do! No pressures in winemaking, just waiting!

Is, Is that possible??

I have a Chard. on the counter, with a book under it (for a low spot), and a Concord grape / apple (last of my 100% juices). I just have to get going, and RACK them!

. . . a new red line - 'The Damned collection"!

Xferring my Chardonnay for the final time, only fine dust on the bottom, and clear as a bell. A little darker (an early kit), but I'm good with that if the taste is there, and I expect it will be.

Monday? Today is Saturday, get it in gear, lol!

My friend, who inspired me to make wine, makes a strawberry/rhubarb that is 'to die for'! In fact, I'm going to say that the wine led me to make wine, no doubt!

Yes, pectic will drop out after, no need to be bashful sometimes!
