    Jack Keller's #1 & #2 Muscadine Recipes?

Maybe i can get some frozen muscadine grapes. I do have a friend in Virginia who stops in sometimes. Maybe...

    Is dandelion wine worth the work? Opinions please!

    Ive had some awesome dandelion wine in the past. Friend came over with his gf about 5 years ago with the best ive had but it wasnt home made. I went out today and plucked out 1 flower, removed the green and decided it was a pita lol. If you have a lot of ambition, go for it. Otherwise summer is...

Ill probably squeeze lemons instead of just using concentrate though. Thanks for the advice. I have to refresh my mind cuz i forgot what...

Im into the "professional" yeasts too but i have this idea that yeast that like say apples, grows right on apples. And yeah, its pretty easy to trap...
