In the most recent email from juicedeals this is what I found most interesting. For those who are signed up for this email, Did you see anything else that could have been of use? Whole Raspberries- block frozen, 2010 pack, FOB Portland Price: 91¢/lb Field Run Raspberries- Fruit is...

1/2 tsp per gallon 1.5 tsp total I will try that this weekend if I get the time, if not it will be 2-3 weeks before I will get to it, but time wont hurt I suppose.

What I will do is try it on the extra that has been in the fridge now for about 2+ months. It is only about a quart or so, but even after being in the cold for that long it still has a really bitter after taste. If that works I will bottle 1 gallon and apply the egg white method to the other 2...

Can you give more details on how this is to be done. (Step by step would be good for me, Ill play the southern idiot on this one)

Chokecherry is the wine in question. Like winemaker I made a chokecherry wine this year and I added some tannins to it. Well come to find out they dont need any thats for sure. So The question is Is there anyway other than time to reduce the astringent taste that it has? It taste very good...

I usually use sparkolloid, however I recently I started using superkleer and find that it seems to be easier and faster (when used correctly). Sparkolloid works good but it seems to be more work to use it. Getting it to disolve is a pain.

Im not sure about Sirs but the low here has been 34 and 38 the past two nights and should be around that for the next few nights. Being that he is closer to the mountains I would expect it to be colder there. So there is plenty of frost in the mornings..... that said I know nothing about frost...

Looks just like mine, LOL I dont have any pics of mine but heres the link to what I did for mine. http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/blog.php?b=9

I just started using super clear, so others would be better at answering that question. As far as adding any clearing agent (which I normally use sparkolloid) I didn't. I actually backsweetened at bottling time, so it went straight into bottles after sweetening.

When I used honey to sweeten the mead I made I put some of the mead in the jar with the honey and shook it. Then I added that to the mead and stired it to help it disolve. I will add that it made the mead very cloudy afterwards. It has been bottled in beer bottles now for a few weeks (around a...

Is it hazy or cloudy? Sounds like (assuming here) that it might be hazy and you might could get it to clear up with some pectic enzyme. If its cloudy, you could try the egg white trick. I know about this method but have never tried it.

There maybe some we just dont put bees on them, and I never paid that much attention to the signs while we were moving the bees over there.

There are two answers to that question, 1. Yes we do, check my signature for a link to the post "Question about our honey" 2. Right now we dont have any to sell, we sold out early this year and we rarely purchase honey from other local keepers. SO when we are out were out. Sorry.

We put bees on several blueberry farms over near New Bern, however those are all commercially picked blueberries. I have never known them to allow the public in for a pick your own type of thing. Although I did manage some blackberries from one of them this past year.

Welcome to the forum, and your are right about the knowledge here, and the best thing is they are all friendly enough to help and even answer repeat questions that alot of other places get annoyed with. That doesn't mean anyone should do it, but these guys and gals are alright in my book...

My dad is the real beekeeper, at least for now. LOL I will be retiring from the Coast Guard Feb 1 and should be going into the business full time then. We have bees over your way, well not in town but off of 32 headed towards Plymouth just off of a road that everyone calls Old 97 I think thats...

Hey, and I missed the welcome to the forum post for you, but welcome to the forum. Where in VA did she go? What area of little washington do you live in? I also dont know about the white chocolate wine, sounds interesting though. I did have some white chocolate raspberry chocolate candies...

Good deal,, Thanks for all the responses. Grapeman you had me going, thought I might have my first BANG in the wine making room. LOL

I put them in reversed before I relized what I had done. No real worries now though, it has already gotten real clear, still needs some time but it is working just fine. I also used it on my elderberry which just didn't want to clear up. I haven't been back home to look at it yet but I will...

I am not exactly a newbie at wine making but this is certainly a newbie mistake. I have never used superclear before until today, I usually use sparkoloid. SO What happens if you get part 1 and part 2 mixed up? What I did was disolved part one in 1 oz of water and put part 2 straight into...
