Yeah, mine is 9 months after the 4th of July. Talk about fireworks!🎆

Well, we didn't get the 2' of snow, but 11" so far and still snowing. So I see me watching the rest of Queens Gambit today

Thanks Scooter. I always appreciate your thoughts. And it's good to know my wine won't detonate! Well, I hope not anyway :)

Scooter, no offense taken and you are correct. Want your thoughts on this thought. As long as you are consistent in how the measuring is done (whether you measure at the top of the meniscus or at the true level), as long as you stay consistent in how you measure, then does it really matter...

Sorry for your loss. Dogs are such a part of the family. We are lucky to have had them be a part of our lives

Our Labradoodle, Bennett, just after a traumatizing haircut. But he does love the snow when he's got long hair Neighborhood pets not allowed inside

I'm up to the 4th episode on The Queens Gambit. It really is excellent. Trying not to binge watch it, but we are expecting 2 or more feet of snow this weekend, sooooo We also watched I Care A Lot. Highly recommend

Being a newbie, I recently made this mistake and asked the same question. The response I got from the knowledge here basically said wait and see, which I did and everything turned out alright. This was on a Sauv Blanc so it is easy to tell when it clears out not. Reds might be a bit harder to...

Good luck Dawg. I can't wait till you get back and offer me some sage advice again!

If you haven't watched "The Escape Artists" on Prime Video I highly recommend it for a good laugh. Get to episode 3 and you will be ROTFL!

Gotcha. So that brings up another question. If you do siphon some of the sediment from the secondary into the tertiary (I guess that would be the right term), would you rack again earlier than the suggested 3 months to get the wine off the lees? Or just wait for the 3 months?

Ha! You know what they say about great minds! My first kit is a Chardonnay, of which I am not particularly fond of but it is her go-to white. My 2nd kit is a Pinot Noir, which is her go-to red. I like them ok, but not my favorite. My 3rd kit is a Sauv Blanc, which she doesn't care for, but...

Love this!

Thank you @Scooter68 . With yours and many others help, I think I am starting to get a basic understanding of this intriguing process. Can't wait until I can actually enjoy the fruits of my labor! Just for clarification, I am not losing 50%. That was the OP. I am trying to figure out how to...

@winemaker81 Just so I understand, the total volume in your primary container has only 5.5 gallons from the get go (when using a 6 gal kit)? You don't worry about how much sediment is racked into the carboy during your first racking? I am only on my 3rd kit and this is where I have found I...

I just got done doing a quick taste test on all 3 (Chard, Pinot Noir and the Sauv Blanc). @winemaker81 The Sauv Blanc seems to be clearing just fine even though I reversed the Kieselsol and Chitosan. Can someone tell me what that taste is right about now that I have tasted in all 3 wines...

What time should we be over for the pizza (and wine)?
