We need to breathe grapenut, we both have clueless support. AKA men. But we are on a mission to succeed! Bless you!! I would love to taste your version of pecan! You are welcome, in one year, to taste mine! Suzi

New Recipe, Mystery Result Today I assembled the ingredients for the next generation pecan wine. It's in the fermenter waiting for the yeast. It tasted really blah, until I added the acid blend. There is no spice, and the only flavor is pecan and white grape. I put some in a shot glass...

Easy? Ha! Math is NOT my best feature!! Actually that formula is easy, but I like the chart best because at a glance if you know the % of alcohol you want to come out with, you can be sure your starting SG is one thing and the end is another. Nice formula! Suzi

I found this on The Bee's Lees (mead site), but this table applies to all. You have to scroll to the bottom to find it, so I pasted it below the link: http://www.brewery.org/library/beeslees.html#Chap6 Appendix 3: Potential Alcohol Table Percent Alcohol Table Courtesy of John Gorman...

Thanks for your recipe non-grapenut! You used a completely different method and recipe than mine, so it shows how the end product can vary, and is helpful to all of us! I never thought of a cold ferment. Mine is rocking and rolling in it's first racking. I racked at SG 0.020. That...

I have scanned our mountains for years, and never saw one! Yesterday, while sitting in the stands watching the pro's putt the 17th green, 7 Big Horns zig zagged up the mountain, stopped and watched us watch them, and it was amazing!! How they can prance on 2" ledges blows my mind. And I can...

Bottle with Caps or Corks Been making it for a year and it has NEVER made it past the jug!! A few friends and a jug (usually takes 2 jugs) is a good time! It is SOUR lemonade, and needs sweetening. We make a simple syrup and simmer some fresh rosemary in it. The rosemary gives it a very...

When is Tomorrow? Is it tomorrow yet?

You can make pepper wine with fewer peppers, but I use about 2 Cups chopped, and at first you get a whiff of it, and your lungs try hard to cough it out! So I can see how it would help clear mucus in the lungs! Try adding a little agave nectar (very healthy) or splenda or sugar (not so...

Just "tossed my cookies!" I was so excited to make cookies with my fermented pecans and raisins after straining them out of the must. What I didn't realize is the dreaded fruit cake (which I HATE), is made with fermented fruits! So now my cookie dough tastes terrible! If the dough tastes...

I didn't measure the TA when I started. Just followed the almond recipe mostly. This morning I can still taste orange/lemon flavors, but the pecan is there also. It would be nice to know what grapenut did with hers. Maybe we can bribe her to tell us!

Thanks grapenut! The paper towel worked great! I'll keep sopping today and rack tomorrow. Suzi

Tastes like Bourbon? Hmmmmmmm Yummy!! Looking forward to the aging if this little experiment! Thanks for your input!! I just strained all the solids out of the fermenter, and I'm making cookies with them. Stay tuned! Suzi

I love it! Very creative!! In my past life, I painted with oils, then came the computer, so I digitized. I love Adobe Photo shop myself, but you did a great job!! Tempranillo is one of our vines. I hope the wine lives up to it's label! Suzi

Pecan Oil :u Today I bit the bullet, and strained all the pecans, raisins, and fruit out of the must. The ferment has slowed (especially with the removal of all that fruit) and the SG measured 0.03 this morning. It's still sweet! I tasted it in my morning shot glass. Gonna miss my shot of...

Yep! The Italy one is great! Oh my! Grand prize of a 7-day / 6-night International Wine Country Getaway in Italy. You could be the one to experience this Tuscan vacation adventure. Accommodations are for two at Prato’s fabulous Hotel Hermitage in the heart of Tuscany. Continental Breakfasts...

Just updated my blog with FOUR great sweepstakes you can enter. I did! I hope one of us wins! Good luck! Suzi

Dumpster Diving In this town, I dont think they have a place for that, and if I found a tossed computer, I wouldn't have a clue what to do with it... in fact... I'm ready to kick this one to the curb!! In my previous town, my best gardening stuff came from the garden center dumpster. You...

OMG! I actually had to lift a finger today! Actually had to work! Had to go do an audit and put in the report. But I'll get paid for today. Sweet!! I won JD in a game of cribbage, and tonight we are going to try a bottle of that cheap wine I bought at WinCo to see how it measures up to two...
