Hello All!! Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas from Me and Mine to You and Yours. :xmas Beano Joe

Well, it sure is happy today. Getting close to the top of the bucket, within an inch. I'll have to watch this one.:h

Not sure if this is the proper place for this but I found this article interesting, as others my, but it is kind of a long read. "Every Sunday, Fortune publishes a favorite story from our magazine archives. This week, we turn to a feature from 1934 on the U.S. wine industry (original...

Just another useless dog photo. My wife's dog Christmas.

Hey Ya'll, I just started a 6 gal. Dragon Blood batch using a quadberry blend from Harris-Teeter. They call it cherry blend even though it is the last ingredient on the package. It has blackberries, blueberries, black raspberries and dark cherries. First time I've seen this. Following Dave's...

Hey Geek, Never tried this combo but I would expect you would wind up with a light blush peach wine. I don't think the blueberrys will be significant in this mix except for color after fermentation. I'd say save the blueberrys for something else and just go peach. Just my thoughts but someone...

Reefman, Skins on, fully dressed! I did cut off the ends though. Try to slice while they are still frozen/partialy frozen or you will have a squishy mess. Beano

Last year I made a banana wine, more or less dragon blood style, and it came out pretty good. Great banana taste and smell. About 12 lbs. bananas, frozen then thawed, sliced in a mesh bag added to three gallons of water. Sugar to Sg of 1.085. It did take about three or four months to clear up...

By my experience, this is true. I re-used the slurry from a Red Star Premier Curvee five times and the last batch of wine had a full gallon plus of slurry. Wine was good though. I put the slurry in a gallon milk and put an airlock on it and left it set and it just keep right on going. After a...

Yes, great article. Very informative.

Thats what I do if it's going out of the house. Blue painters tape and a sharpie otherwise. Low brow I know, but....works for me.:d I have also printed out mini labels to affixe (spelling?) to the bottom of the bottle with scotch tape. Year, month, flavor, and ABV in about a six font. It's...

Hey Ya'll, Just a glass of my latest Dragons Blood. Good, but not my best I think. I did also have a test glass of my latest Skeeter Pee, Lemon, pineapple, orange, and it was tops. Hope everyone is having a great evening. The wife (Robin) is putting up the christmas tree and this always...
