I bottled my wild rasberry and mulberry blend wine today. it was just one gallon. got 5 bottles out of it. Discovered my glass jug had a crack in it :( So, into recycling it went. Good thing I have another glass jug of topping up wine to replace it with.

I think you're correct about the nutrient. Perhaps I will make an experiment a la Luc and do two one gallon batches one using bread yeast and another using wine yeast....

It's a mixture of both kits and juice and random fruits, honey and peppers. I'm getting a floor corker after I pay for the honeymoon. We're thinking New Hampshire for the fall foliage. We may even stop by and see Al. As of now I have two of the Portuguese double lever hand corkers and some basic...

I have bottling parties. I need to have another. I've got a few cases of bottles to clean and about 40 gallons ready to bottle. Anyway here is a picture of my wine making area. I need to build a fancy table like some of you guys did. My area is currently in the "Dining room area of our 600 sq...

I highly recommend checking out Luc's blog. He's been so kind to include English translations of every entry and it is full of good information and experiments.

Just started a 6 gallon batch of cabernet sauvignon from an rjs grand cru kit. It's going to be a lighter one but it's ok. It'll be a nice table wine.

Welcome to the board. Eventually you'll be brewing anything that ferments just like the rest of us :)

You will certainly want to save some for an F Pak.

It's been racked off the gross and fine less since christmas. used ec 1118 on it instead of bread yeast. Didn't need any back sweetening. The Starting SG was suffiecint to burn out the yeast and leave a nice amount of residual sugars. Taste is pretty good. Just that haze. I don't think I'm going...

Meade is unique. I have a btach and it's a bit hazy.. not in bottles yet... thinking about sticking it outside for a couple of hours to get cold and letting it warm up.. maybe that will help.

You got Wade's attention.. He's gotta chime in with a link of pictures to his awesome brewing setup.:try

You'll have to let us know how it turns out. Glad to see some other Marylanders posting. I'm from Westminster myself.

Thats how Kat is with me. She wants me to have the things I want.

As soon as I can get home, I'm popping a cork and making something to eat.

Hungry and very grumpy. Didn't get to start the new wine kit today. Just overall in a bad mood.

Sinus surgery is no fun. I had it a few years ago. Lots of fluids.

Racked the pineapple wine today. I think it has a little ways to go before fermentation is done. Ended up with about 2 to 2.5 gallons Instead of 3. Gonna split it between som 1 gallon jugs after a couple if days.

It's 27 F. here now. Winter storm watch in effect.

Checked on the pineapple wine i started yesterday. it's got a nice cap and bubbling along. Startted it now so it'll be ready for summer.

Water and sulfite solution for a few days. Would rather have water leak out instead of wine.
