    Rhubarb need advice

    I think freeze and then juice (thaw if needed) would get your maximum liquid out.

    My Milk Wine project

    Defiantly stabilize! You don't want 'milk processes' after it's wine. Now can you use condensed milk to back sweeten? LOL

    Wine thief suggestions

    Are you may be referring to an auto siphon?

    Chickens are great. One of the few animals that give back with eggs. Very fun to watch to and you really do not need much space for them. If you got a little room I'd say do it.

    My easter egger went broody so I got her some fertile eggs. 7 out of 10 hatched so far. Mostly just trying not to bother them and mama too much.

    Vinegar

    If you can't get mother of vinegar you can use a shot of Brags apple cider vinegar or similar non pasteurized vinegar. It takes a couple of months using the Braggs it might go faster with the mother. Unlike wine there is no hydrometer, you know when it's done by taste. When it gets to the...

    Interesting article about closures

    I'd love to know the line up of the other corks. I'm guessing the brown bottle is the synthetic?

    Sent off my first unemployment stub, well for this round of being laid off. All most every normal job I've had I've been laid off of. Crazy to think about. Just got back from a night SF and two days camping outside of Napa. Got to see a lot of lovely vineyards but it was a family gig so no...

    time to bottle ?

    If you do not think any more sediment is going to fall out you should be fine to bottle. If you have a filter you could run it through you wouldn't have to worry about sediment. How's it look?

    I'd build a smoker if I was doing meat or fish. This would be for whatever comes out of the garden. It's gotta stop raining long enough for me to put the garden in, so the dehydrator is a way in the future. :D

    The nearest walmart is 2 hr's away, Target is the best we got here. There is not much big box stuff round here. They've been fight to keep home depot and wal mart out for years. From what I've read a passive flow box with some 100 watt light bulbs can be excellent at dehydrating large quantities.

    Please explain why and when to rack a wine.

    I usually rack to carboy (secondary) once the SG starts getting low and I'm not worried about bubbling through the airlock. I leave it in carboy until clear. Then I rack to another carboy and allow to settle for another week or two before bottling. If there is a reason like excessive...

    How are you bottling your skeeter pee?

    A bit corked in the bottle. Most just in 1 gallon glass juice jug with cap screwed back on. Keep it in the fridge. Yum!

    1st skeeter progress

    I used a Blueberry slurry and could not taste anything other then lemon. It is great tasting and a wonderful color. I think it would be easy to add a juice or concentrate of your choice at the beginning and correct for SG. Or at least that is what I'll be trying when it's time for my next batch.

    Wine Press "Reconditioning" Project

    What on earth is milk paint? Is that like white wash? My vote's with elbow grease and mineral oil.

    A few question...

    I think most everything has been covered. I just wanted to say I have tried the egg whites and they did zero, certainly nothing compared to Bentonite.
