Take care of y ourself. We need you around here. Arne.

At the top of this beginners page there is a thread with winemaking terms. Bet that should do for most of the definitions you want. Next thread up from there is how to use a hydrometer. Read that, at least how to use it. @Scooter68 has a pretty good set of instructions on here how to get...

Don't know if we can turn you into a wino, but we can sure help you make some decent wines. Welcome to the forum. Arne.

Wish I was a bit closer. Would come and give y ou a hand. I know how to stop water leaks, got a old cork from a wine bottle around here somewhere. Just shove er in. Lol, Arne.,

Not recomending this but if I was in your shoes, I would just throw them in leave them sit for a couple of weeks and taste it. See if they should sit a bit longer or pull them out. This will most likely cloud your wine back up, so you will probably have to let it sit and clear again. Arne.

Maybe it is time to make an extra gallon, when in carboys have the gallon sitting alongside with a sign that says sample here. You can always have a little sample and something to top up with. Arne.

Not above freezing but the sun is shining. Melting a little of the snow, maybe one of these days we will get to plant things again. Arne. Just noticed after posting, been on here a long time. 5000 posts. Hope to be around for another 5000. Arne.

Wrap the plastic around the cane while it is on the plant or cut it off? Read it again, while on the plant. Will try this this spring. Arne.

Lol. Thing posted too fast. Didn't give me a chance to sign off. Arne.

We will find out. Bent one of the branches over and buried the end of it same day I took the cutting. Might get two plants out of this deal. Arne.

After you get down south are you still going to come on here and see us once in a while?? Sure gonna miss ya if you don't. Arne.

Always wondered what had happened to the coyotes around here that run around with no hair. Now I know. Folks around here always said it was mange. Now I can tell em for a fact it was bunnies. Read it on the innernet. Gotta be true. Arne.

Darn fat fingers. set it in a glass of water on the kitchen window sill. It proced to loose its leave and left us with a stick. Was in with some other cuttings and left it. The other day Kathy said the blackberry had roots and leaves. Put it ina small pot today and back in the window. My...

Since we got off topic from elders and blackberries I am going to keep it a little off topic. Hope you don't mind, Rich. Daughter gave me a blackberry plant 4 years ago. Last year itproduced 78 berries and Kathy counted and ate every on of them. I had to cut a branch off it and took a piece...

When I first read this, my first thought was wine gremlins. Guess I hit it right the first time. LOL, Arne.

Lol, laughing with you, not at you. Welcome to the wonderful world of winemaking. Get a vac. pump setup and don't look back. Vacuumpump man on here sells everything you need and will give you tech. support. I don't have his setup, but made my own back about the time he was starting out. I...

Think Rice Guy is spot on. If it was me, I would use the first suggestion. You are basically starting out again, If you try and cool it down you can run into problems with it not wanting to finish fermenting. For your first try I would suggest letting it ferment dry, stabilize it with k-meta...

Hope it warms up so you can get things thawed out. We had a bit of a break last night. 2 degrees at bedtime and 6 this morning. That is above zero that 20 below was a bit much the night before. We will see how things go today. Hope the wind stays down or we will have ground blizzards for...

I would give it another day. Give your gewurtz a couple of good stirs in the meantime. Good luck with it, Arne.

Somewhere on here there is a thread about using a plastic bag to get the bung back out. Think they got the bag down aroung the bung andpulled it back out. Never tried it but others did. Arne.
