    Fortunately my wifes schnauzer, and our horse enjoy chasing them off. But there are several unnatural predators in my area ( properties mostly 5 to 30 acres) that feel the same as i do keeping the numbers down. These arent like the truly wild turkeys you see on the hunting shows. They barely...

    Take a deep cleansing breath, do some yoga or maybe thi chi. This wine you started might be ready in six months. Read lots of posts, even if they dont seem applicable. They will be eventually

    If you keep it cool fermentation will go slower and buy you some time as well

    Apple Wine Problems.

    I recomend adding apple juice concentrate to match the added water. I add concentrate to apple juice to boost apple flavor. Be sure to read the ingredient label. Labeling laws have more loop holes than tax law. I was given some apple juice last year. Label said made from organically grown...

    Pulp bag?

    Usually around an sg of 1.000. But i pull strawberry pulp after a week regardless, to prevent the yeast from breaking down the seeds.

    Sump Pump Questions

    Fred is correct. Pester the local authority having jurisdiction. Water isn't the only issue here. Oil and even soap from washing the cars needs to be dealt with. City counselors or county commissioner. Start out pleasant then pester the crap out of them. Get neighbors involved. And call and...

    Pulp bag?

    Again no, the rookie mistake was not buying 2. I haven't broke one since ive had 2.

    Pulp bag?

    Breaking hydrometers is not a rookie mistake, it is an inevitable reality. Replace it with two. Dump it and use a paint strainer that fits a bucket to filter it out when you're ready to rack.

    Some folks like gamey meat. I do not. And for the record, if you see me eating fish, we are going to need more wood for the signal fire.

    Apple Wine Problems.

    To press apples you need to grind them first. And as @Scooter68 said a standard juicer does a good job but its a job for sure. Using cut apples requires a liquid addition and water will leave you with a nice wine with little to no apple smell or taste. It takes a fat bunch of apples to make 5...

    Turkeys make good mulch. They were gone from our area and a few genus hunters thought it would be a good idea to reintroduce them. Now fish and game consider them feral. They are a nuisance everywhere, towns and agricultural areas are having issues with them as the predators that keep them in...
