Just read the other 2 post, very interesting and looks delicious.

Hoping to rack my Elderberry wine today at lunch then after work I'm going to get the bathroom remodel into primer then pick up paint and tile. May have to turn the heat on if I prime. 55 degrees will take a long time to dry.

I'm going to shoot for trying to get this racked off today at lunch time. Last racking was the beginning of February and it's looking very clear at this point. Need to rack, kmeta and sorbate then let age a few more months. I can't wait to be able to say I have 100+ bottles of Elderberry on...

10 Jalapeño peppers in a gallon will give you quite the bite, you may not need the extract if you want it to be drinkable.

Back sweetened 12 gallons of Skeeter Pee to 1.010.

Sanitized bottles last night in preparation of bottling 10 gallons of Catawba today. Also managed to get 5 1/2 gallons of Niagra filtered and bottled. So nice to be able to filter and bottle at the same time.

Cut the grass for the first time last night and moved all my tools from the downstairs bathroom to the garage so that I can tear out the floor this weekend and figure out where I need to move all the plumbing so that I can start remodeling that room as well.

Blended my A-Do yesterday as well as racked and back sweetened Fredonia, Concord, Niagra and Catawba. Should be bottling about 50 gallons next weekend...

Here's a pick of the finished dining room and also what it looked like when I started. Two weeks and one day. I finished on Saturday so it was done for Easter. Still need to hang curtains but we need to buy them first. Hardwood floors were done 4 years ago and I was able to keep and reuse the...

Hoping to finish up painting the trim in my dining room today. I have to prime and paint and then the remodel project will be complete. It was a total gut job. Rewired and insulated. I managed to save the old trim since the house was built in 1903 and had to shim out all the studs to...

Put a second coat of compound on my dining room today. I also filtered and bottled 10 gallons of Seyval Blanc and Diamond....

Took a look at the elderberry wine the other day. Primary batch is looking pretty clear at this point, the secondary batch is still looking a bit cloudy. I need to check my records but I think racking may be in order the end of this month.

I start gutting our dining room and downstairs bathroom on the 12th, should be a busy week for me with gutting, insulating and rehanging the drywall.

Yep, first time my neighbor had Pee, he asked the next morning which one of the neighbors made the street spin and how do you make it stop....Needless to say, he's been hooked on the Pee ever since.

Our Skeeter Pee gets back sweetened to about 1.010-1.015 depending on the acidity. It's normal to be tart at a dry state. You will need to play with back sweetening to your taste.

23 years ago my children lost their mother. Give your kids an extra hug everyday. You never know when it will be your last.

Tonight I opened the last bottle of my 2010 California Merlot. Aromas of cherry and berries, oak aroma and flavor mostly faded, though I don't think I oak enough, flavors of cherries and possibly currants, no real oak taste. Medium mouth feel though good legs on the glass. Sad to say it was...
