    Soil ph in Minnesota

    When you sample the soil take several cores from the area in question, perhapse 6-12 cores down to the 6-12 inch level and perhapse to the 2 foot level. Mix them all together and take the sample for analysis from that mix. It will give you an average pH for the area. I would also test for...

    Glass carboy has outside residue that won't come off

    One possibility might be an automotive lense cleaning kit for headlights. They come with a polishing wheel, polishing coumpound, and about 600 grit sandpaper. the polishing wheel can be used in a drill although an actual buffer would work better. Sounds like the glass is etched.

    So how much alcohol is REALLY in my wine?

    Agree with the above: If the OG contains nonfermentables it makes sense that they would show up in the final SG, therefore, the reduction in SG would be from fermentable sugars and represent approximate alcohol production and account for not all fermentations completing at a SG less than 1.0.

    I test the strength of the discharge by taking a short piece of electric fence wire and sticking it in the ground, then with insulated pliers I will bring the wire close to the charged wire at the patch and look for a spark. Should jump about 1/4 inch, then I know that I don't have the charged...

    When you make apple wine do you leave the skin on? If you were to use a mill would you add some skins back?
