OP... what, if anything, are you going to add to the apples? Cinnamon? Brown Sugar? etc.

Tom... I'm about to dabble in beer... probably an extract kit to get started. Tell me about the Sierra Nevada you have going... I hear that is good stuff. Is it an extract kit? Knowing you it is probably an AG kit, eh? Bill

Oh yeah... what did I do today? I racked my 6 gallons of Blackberry Merlot to a carboy... finished at 0.996. Now... the wait... Think I'll put on the Black Cherry Pinot Noir in a couple days... Also need to order a nice white wine to get in inventory... Then get some ale going... maybe a nice...

Holiday Food... made out like a bandit! Don't anybody tell my inlaws that I am all healed up from my headon collision in October... my wife's sisters and cousins all sent me food... I guess they think I am still healing up from my broken bones and stuff. I got ham, turkey breast, bacon, pizza...

Oops! :slp Sorry about that, Rex. Bill

That might work... it was my first thought... however, the wood is bad about harboring microbes and this is why few, if any, homebrew supply houses sell the wooden stirrers. I would be more prone to look at something non-porous before I used any wood in my wine must.

Ok... this is a longshot... If you have any of those white plastic clothes hangers, cut off the hook and heat the bent part to straighten the plastic out into a rod. Spray it with sulfite solution and then you can use it to stir your wine and hopefully degas it. I am not sure if these hangers...

Welcome to the forum, Rex. I am not familiar with tomato wine, but I did notice there are links to tomato wine threads at the bottom of this page. I followed some of them and it looks like mixed reviews are the norm. Maybe Allie or one of the others will jump in with a good recipe in a short...

I hope you realize that you are making me thirsty. :dg

Wishing You a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Howdy Rowdy! Welcome to the forum... I live about 17 miles from Point Pleasant... West Virginia, that is. I just made my 1st wine and it was Apple Juice Wine... really easy to make. Later... Bill

After the grandkids open their presents, my wife and I will open a bottle of out 1st batch ever... apple juice wine... not too fancy, but we will enjoy it. Merry Christmas, Everyone... from Bill and Wanda in West Virginia.

He spoke French.

No... it is NOT pathetic... this is a big deal... hell, they're not even my bottles and I'm excited!

The 38mm caps fit the large jugs and do a great job... I put the wine and cider in them that I will drink so I don't waste my 750ml bottles. They are a great replacement for the metal caps that come on most of them.

spleisher... do you ever find any wine bottles that have a swallow or two left in them? :ib

T-Roy... I'm not a gal, but I'd be more than happy to make some wine for you. I have a new recipe I need someone to taste test for me... 1 pound raisins 5 pounds strawberries 1 tablespoon yeast nutrient 1 teaspoon yeast energizer 1 can Drano 1 box Rid-X Lalvin 1118 yeast 1 gallon toilet water...

That sounds good too Allie and Wolf... but... for pork, I have to put some of my special recipe rub on the meat... no marinating... just rub. HB

I love raw steak, but it really helps if it is a decent cut of meat... when I was a young man, I had a weekend job as a meat cutter in a small meat market... it was my job to bone the meat off of the bones... maybe that's where I picked up my taste for raw meat... make sure it's fresh if you are...

Nice string... crappie? Can't see the whole fish, but looks like good eatin'. HB
