I think this is from Thursday's "Puppy" Hike. Old Rte 287 (looking South) between Hills Creek Road and Ives Run...

I could live with that definition even though it is not the point (though very close) at which I start my bulk age counter.

I most often buy and two kits at a time. A red for myself and gifting and a white or mist wine for my wife and gifting. Wait 2-3 months and repeat. I'll do a fruit/country wine several times a year. There are so many good kits out there so I and can't think of anyone made by WE or RJS that I've...

:gb Okay, okay, okay... :gb Can we all at least agree when bottle aging begins? :b :)

Rack from secondary to glass carboy for degassing stabilization and clearing with agents. Generally 3 to 14 days later will rack from glass carboy to plastic carboy and move from the kitchen/dinning room area to the basement. So, my bulk aging begins when I put the carboy into the basement. I...

Just that photo not others in this thread?

I agree with you... I used to make the simple syrup, for bumping initial SG, but for years now have just added straight sugar and stirred well. And now my thinking is why would you want to add water when back sweetening? If back sweetening at bottling just add sugar and stir more gently than...

If you can put an airlock on them they could be used for "secondary" fermentation.

Now my head is hurting again. Can't we all just make wine? :) Joking aside... Wow, where did you get all this knowledge on the subject?

So what kind of dog is it that your family has? I've forgotten.

Okay, this is what I think I know... Female golden retriever is bred with a standard poodle resulting in F1 goldendoodles (?). A female F1 is bred with a standard poodle and you get your F2 goldendoodles (?). So if I got it right what percentage poodle and what percentage golden retriever dog do...

You've just about got it. Broad Acres is to the left but down the hill out of the picture. The big building you see houses, I believe, a bunch of Tioga County social service offices. If you look out the front entrance of Broad Acres and up the hill you'd see that big building.

Yes, an F2 Golden Doodle (2/3 Poodle, 1/3 Golden Retriever). Great dog. Big plus "breed" wise is no shedding. Big negative is grooming about every two months.

And the mud!

Because neighbor is feeding the deer I can't hunt that side of my property.
