I might go ahead and make a higher abv water wine just incase the acid doesn't come into check. I have a spare bung now so I can put that in a 1 gallon jug and have a water wine waiting on reserve. Stay tuned for future updates, and check out my blog later today I will be updating it then.

Well here is how it all turned out. Racked all three into different 5 gallon buckets. #1 measured the following SG .996 TA .90% pH 3.2 #2 measured the following SG .994 TA .80% pH 3.4 #3 measured the following and was really gassy SG .996 TA 1.00% pH 3.2 So I tasted all three and...

The only thing that would make this better is to have you all in one room with plenty to drink and treat you like a jury. You can't leave until everyone agrees to the same thing, and all the drinks are gone. I would just have to be a fly on the wall for that. lol I think what I will do is...

I have plenty of buckets to rack them into just not the right carboys to fill correctly. The three scuppernongs are of such different makes I really hat to mix any of them. # 1 and # 3 were done on skins and # 2 was just straight juice. Then there is the yeast and the SG levels as well as the...

yeah the hurricane help put it out

Last year killed an 8 on opening day, this year didn't even see a twig move.

After my opening day 8 pointer last year it might be hard to top it, but if the new 8 that is hanging around the back yard shows up next saturday there might be another 8 on the wall with the two that are already there. Our bow season has already come and gone, sept 17th til the 30th then black...

I know you are probably busy being that you just opened, but I have a $ question for ya. How much not counting land purchase have you invested in getting things started? Even including the oops I forgot about that and had to add it things.

I have noticed that using the wild yeast that it takes a little longer for an active fermentation. I also noticed that it is not as wild as a wine yeast is. The two five gallon buckets of big reds gave me a total of 7 gallons after a hand press of the skins and pulp. I transfered it to a 5...

There is some rules that say something about the one supplying also has to have a license to sell alcohol. Almost like a vineyard that does not produce wine but provides grapes to a winery. The vineyard also has to have certain permits in order to provide a product under a contract that is used...

While trying to find out information on obtaining a permit to sell wine I was talking to a local distiller. It is a small two person operation that is licensed to produce distilled spirits. The place is called Cheseapeake Bay Distillery, you can look it up on the net. While talking to the owner...

This is correct Sirs Now I just hope I dont screw up these, lol. I did stop and buy a paint mixer to put on my drill, and that worked ok but didn't crush all of the grapes. I figure I will give them the night to sit and hit them again tomorrow with it and maybe it will atleast bust the skins...

I am planning to make a trip to get some grapes this weekend and I just finished hand squeezing 100 lbs of grapes and really don't want to do anymore that way. I don't have the money to purchase a grape press right now and don't know anyone that has a press that I could borrow or use. So I...
