This site is awesome. The folks here are great.

Cool site. Didn't see Ghost Pepper seeds for sale though.

Make sure the temperature is around 70 deg. F. The "scum" contains yeast. Let them be. Just pop the lid on and relax.

My wife helps to bottle but that's about it.

Everyone is off their feet with a cold today. Nothing fermenting at the time. 5 gallons of all grain red ale conditioning in the carboy. will be bottled next week. Still house hunting and will be filling up the cellar with yummy wine. I have a chardonnay kit on deck for when we move. Good luck...

I think we're going to start looking around Littlestown and Hanover soon. The only reason we're trying to stay in the same area we live now is because we both work in and for the county.

We got outbid on the house we liked. We've looked at several more and no luck so far. :/ I have a dislike of house hunting. At least in my county. We have a severe lack of affordable houses that are not death traps.

Shelly, are you ready for Sunday? Go Ravens!

I don't want to jinx myself but we found a house we really like and are putting an offer on it sometime tomorrow morning. Realtor is writing the contract as I type this. I'll have an acre of land with a house that was completely renovated in 2005. It's really nice! I'll have my grapes growing...

Good luck! Have you been out to Maryland Homebrew in Columbia yet? They have a nice new set up there. It's worth checking out.

Been very busy at work. Will be attending more trainings and conferences at the State level. I have some new kits to start but waiting until we move. Hopefully in the next couple of months. June is the deadline I set for how long I can stay in the in-law apartment before I go nuts. House...

I've been busy with work and house hunting. Married life is good but busy trying to get a home in order is time consuming. I'll be making some more wines and beers after we find a place. For now I've been working down my stock. How has everyone been?

We're baking cookies. Might open a bottle of one of the wines I've made. Perhaps the spiced apple. It's not even cold outside. Doesn't feel like Christmas. If it weren't for the decorations, I'd think it was October.

Merry Christmas

I'm still around. Just haven't been making wine lately because we're trying to buy a house and it will be a challenge to move what we have already. I've made some tasty beers though. We're letting our stocks run low. Saturday me and Kat are seeing a house we like along with our contractor...

Welcome aboard

Welcome aboard. Crystal Lake huh? Your name isn't Jason is it? :sh

Welcome to your new addiction haha. These folks are great.

On the honeymoon on Beech Mountain, NC. Will have pics later when the internet connection isn't so shoddy.

Ferment to dry. Maybe a couple of weeks. To degas use a spoon and mix it until it volcanoes. Keep doing that until it stops. Add sorbate then wait a few hours then sweeten. The sorb ate inhibits re-fermentation.
