My condolences and thank you for expressing your feelings; They are sweet remembrance for many of us.

Thanks guys. Guess I'll varnish the wood clothes line poles and order traps for the carport where I can't see their destruction...only the saw dust (best traps?)

What is the best way to get rid of them?

I too, received one of your books. Again, thank you. Please keep us informed on whatever is making life interesting for you.

Excellent points. But since I only make one gallon at a time (thus far) it's probably not a major factor for me. But still, measuring the temp. and gravity from the same mass appeals to me.

10-4. Know right where the nearest HF is located. And they know where I'm located too, because your post is from that location!

Thanks, I'll put it on my list.

Pros /Cons? Actually, I already have a hydrometer but the message, "if you own two , you'll never break one," has finally sunk in! So, I decided having the ability to read the temperature too is a good thing!

Hi Tandrup, Sorry for the late reply but I'm in the midst of trying to order parts for my 1993 Olds (it's been a headache). Your input for the irrigation system is right on point. And I can use the drip emitters to keep the roses alive this year. Thanks.

Look Ma, No scissors: For removing the petals, There is a You Tube video where a girl is sitting in a field of dandelions twisting the petals loose. It does work. It goes like this: With an opened flower, firmly grasp the bulb (under-side) between the thumb and index finger. Now, roll it...

I like your method to run the wine dry*; then add enough sugar to change the FSG 1.040 etc. (is this sugar added before or after racking?). *In step-feeding dry sugar. At what times and proportions is the dry sugar step-fed? Thanks!

Dawg, sounds like you could answer this question (perhaps you already did) regarding berry wines. In answering a an earlier post, it was stated: " I always add extra berries, because they make a smoother finish with my high alcohol wine. What transpires to make this so? Thank you.

It appears your meter meets the criteria. So thanks for summing it up with your recommendation.

Thank you

I'm relatively new to wine making and don't have anything to measure ph, but feel I should. What should be considered when shopping for an instrument?
