Pulled the two pack of skins off the Super Tuscan after weeks. Figured they had done their thing. They then got added to a pail of Carmenere and Sangiovese respectively for another 3 weeks. My thinking is as long as they have not settled into the gross lees it's all an improvement to the...

Yup! More than a few times I was told to stop looking at the moldings in the restaurant and be more attentive... by the ex wife...

Good decision. Let the grid be your battery. Let the numbers guide the decisions. An 8 kw system is a nice size

Thank you so much for the query to Scott. Far more effort than a simple opinion or post. Yes on Scott Lab's suggestions. Lessons learned concerning air temperature vs Must absorbtion with radiant floors. All is flat lining right now, and I suppose that is good. Smells and tastes...

Removing the cover to ventilate, and a bag of frozen peas broke it's fever. I was above 90*.... The room was set at 60*, but radiant floors were more than planned for. Like a 400 sf. warming plate... need to be aware of that next time. Checked the Sg to see if I was ready for the 2nd...

Super Tuscan overheating! A little slow to start but now ripping. Two skin packs. No foam that others seem to report. Temperature is high. Maybe my thermometer is bad, but it says 91*. My question is the downside of overheating and should I add a sanitized bag of frozen vegetables or...

Yes on the RC-212. Perhaps he could re-define Safety tab to just be pull tab. After emptying the bag with a slice, I pulled the tab. Thought I would rip the tab off without getting it open. If the bag was full certainly I would have worn a couple of ounces of concentrate. I'm guessing the...

Received and started my Super Tuscan yesterday. Arrived chilled, but not cold. The instructions say that due to the sugar content the juice is fine at room temp for a few days. Seems reasonable. Maybe I didn't have the right technique but the bag cap is a pia. ended up just slicing the bag...

Waste? Couple of well placed shape charges. I foresee a new artificial reef. Otherwise known as dumping them.. Looks like they are out by the Tuna grounds near Hudson Canyon. Probably not too far from the wreck of the Andrea Doria. Well offshore, but not far from the shipping lanes...

Interesting how Offshore wind farms are Covid remediation....

This has implications for me locally. As the water is 200', the bases will be 300'. These will be basically offshore deep water drilling rig structures. They will be fabricated right next to the Electric Boat facility at the old Quonset Navy base., who has been screaming for employees to...

Hmmm. Missed that announcement. The water can be pretty rough out there. I want to see the details. This is screaming of Government subsidies. How much? The Block Island project raised our rates 40%

Kind of pricey after shipping. With the smaller spring lugs, how does that relate to usable volume? About the same, with the bonus of some fresh juice

Thanks. Couldn't get their cart working either. Saves me the call. Looks like maybe a box of raisins or currants this year. Anyone experimented with Craisins? Cranberries, sugar and cherry concentrate. No sulfites

Fresco was $95 if I pick it up in Hartford CT. $115 locally. CMason spoke well of it but I passed on it for the Finerwine kit. Maybe next round...

Thanks Heather! Lots of homework on your part in that reply. Kits won out. I dallied on the Australian Cab and they sold out. too bad as everyone seemed to rave about it. So I pulled the trigger on a Grand Cru Nebbiolo and a Sangiovese. $65 for oak, 12 L of juice, skin packs, and solid...

Yes, I've already planned on co-innoculation with Viniflora and adding a 2nd run for the Fresh kit skins pack to the Carmeniere and Cab. Thinking of adding 2 table spoons of coffee and some currants the Malbec primary. Added a lug last year with good results, although labor intensive without...

Spring produce is here! Planned on picking up a few pails tomorrow to make aging reds inventory and summer whites for the family. Now I see several kits on sale at Morewine. The prices are now roughly the same. The Chilean and Austrailian juice I'm planning on is kept chilled, but unbalanced...
