    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    I just noticed that the Triple Berry blend I use for my DB is high in vitamin C. Not just a buzz but a healthy buzz! My wife will be glad to hear that!

    Bentonite lees very fluffy after a week

    I’ve always followed the package directions with great success.

    Other Vintners Best - fruit wine base (fruit juice)

    I followed the DB recipe to the letter, but used dark tart cherries instead of triple berry. It was a big hit! Just an idea.

    RJ Spagnols RJS kits

    Home Brew Ohio has been VERY reliable for me. When my LHBS closes for good they will be my one-stop shop.

    Shelf life for ingredients?

    I appreciate the quick replies. I think I’ll drive in tomorrow and pick up some supplies and hope for the best. I know I can’t go wrong on the bottles. I bought the last of their clear bottles and now all they have left are green ones. I prefer clear but half price? I don’t care what color they are!

    Shelf life for ingredients?

    My LHBS is closing for good in a couple of weeks. Everything (almost) is 50% off. I’m thinking of stocking up on nutrient, energizer, tannin, campden tablets, and whatever else I come across. I know yeast will go in the refrigerator but what about the other ingredients? I keep them in a ziplock...

    Plaato airlock?

    As fragile as hydrometers are maybe 33 hydrometers and 2 airlocks and stoppers! :D (Yes, I know the math doesn’t work, but I’m too tired to work it out.)

    What's for Dinner?

    Pierogis are a favorite of mine. My wife doesn’t make them very often, but when she does I make a complete pig of myself! And yes, pan fried with onions in bacon grease and butter. Now I’m drooling on my keyboard!

    What's for Dinner?

    I like to boil for 30 - 40 minutes so the skin is easily removed. After the skin is removed I cover in a dry rub and put in the smoker to internal temp of 180 degrees. Sliced thin with cheese and crackers and a bottle of wine and I’m ready to watch my K.C. Chiefs!

    5 gallons of SP and 5 gallons of DB. Tasting great!

    There once was a regular contributor here who would top off his Skeeter Pee and DB with Everclear. I tried it once on my DB and have to say it wasn’t a bad idea!

    We have a raccoon in a big elm tree in our circle driveway right now. I’ll leave him alone and hope he leaves on his own tonight.
