OK... that may be good, but the phrase "increases carmelization" has me wondering. When we make simple syrup to back-sweeten out wines we do not want caramelization, so we are careful to stir the sugar as it is dissolved and inverted. I have been doing this for years (not in wines though) and...

If you make your wine from a kit and modify it... say you add banana pulp to the primary and maybe add an additional flavor or two to the f-pack, would that be legal?

I am not familiar with Numoline, but any time you boil complex sugar in water, you invert the sugar into a simple sugar which is sweeter to the taste and more easily digested. I am sure it would be fine for use in back-sweetening, but you can make your own simple syrup for only pennies and it...

Houdini and his wife did a vaudeville act early in his career before he became a full-time illusionist. Is this one of his flyers? By the way, the previous pic could be one of many fungi reproducing asexually. Am I correct, Troy?

Sounds like a good kit to try in the summer.

Troy... it looks pretty obvious with the asexual reproduction of daughter cells, but I'm not gonna guess yet. Nice pic.

Vem, I see where the islands grow sugarcane and bananas... I bet the climate there allows lots of good fruit to be grown there. Welcome aboard. :b

You have got to be CRAZY! Saturday January 2, 2010 8:45 a.m. Eastern Time -33° F in Fairbanks, AK You have got to be CRAZY! OK? :d

Welcome Rifleman! Very pretty country along the river where you live. The towns have some pretty neat names, too... Rifle, Parachute, etc. Years ago I had a buddy from South Carolina that worked on a construction crew in/near Parachute. Have a good one... Bill

Hey buddy... tried to call you a couple of times... glad you are ok. I may call you tomorrow... or not... not so worried now. Take care and Happy New Year! :f2

Hopefully he isn't stuck to the throne seat... it was -22*F this morning when I checked on the Weather Channel. :e

They sure are pretty, aren't they? I used to have one for a pet until he destroyed the living room furniture. Hopefully he'll find a nice new home and won't be traveling back to your house.

Julie... I called this morning and I just called again... no answer. He may be working or he may be at a friend's house. I know it was -22*F this morning in Fairbanks. I know he is going through a tough time right now... his Dad just passed away a couple of weeks ago... I think it was on the...

Holy Cow! :d :d :d :d :d

Julie... I have been wondering the same thing. I think his last post was around the December 15... I tried to call him day before yesterday to check up on him but no answer. Maybe I'll try again today. Bill

This is the problem that virtually all of us have when we first come into this hobby. We just have to learn to make it faster than we can drink it. :dg Welcome.

Obviously not! :)

Welcome... what part of the world are you from? Maybe you could go to your CP and update your profile...

Are you taking orders? I know... yes... but only from SWMBO... right? :)

Sounds good... I think my next batch of apple wine will have a higher s.g. and I will probably add a cinnamon stick or two. I also plan to back sweeten for the XYL. We drank some of the last batch as soon as we bottled. If I make another batch while I still have some on the rack, maybe I can...
