So what was the first taste like??

Lets light some of it up then.....:d:d :bSteve

Ha ha ha. i hope that aint a .......crap it really is.............never mind!!

Photobucket is quick and easy to use Troy go with it. Then you paste the URL into the message and it "pops" up.

Ok then. With that going for me I will go with D also.:d

I just found a 32 gallon trash can with the number 2 and HDPE on it for $14.44 at Walmart!! Includes a lid. Now to convince the wife its Ok to make 20 gallon batches ha ha.

It will loose some alcohol due to exposure to air and natural loss during fermenting. If you add a f-pac and some simple syrup that will drop the total ABV also. i would be happy to drop by and drink some to test it out!!:r :bSteve

Like Steve said once you add the sorbate you can sweeten to taste. Let it sit after the add to allow excess to settle out.

Yes there were lids as well. Alittle extra charge of course. They snap down but I thonk they were intended to do that once and then you break the seal afterwards. I just sit it on top tightly but not snapped down for ease of use.

Th spoilage issue is mainly early on. The first 3-4 days is when it will go bad if fermentation isnt going well enough to protect the wine. If you racked it and it is OK then you should be past the spoiling stage. I racked mine for the second time a couple days ago and it is great. Strong...

I do like Wade does. Degass early allows for quicker settling.

Yes it has the HDPE along with the number 2 in the triangle. They also have a 5 gallon bucket for $2.34. The lid is another 2 bucks. I have used it on 3 or 4 batches now with good results.

Wow how could anyone pass on a sweet deal like that!! :hTake care Troy and keep a modest amount of alcohol in your system to help with the pain.:r Steve

Lowes has 2 gallon paint buckets that are food grade and work quite well. They cost 2-3 bucks!

I have a total of 6 gallons of Pear going myself. It is fermenting slowly. Smells and looks great, light green/golden color. Hey Troy, Rough Summer? Looking pretty worse for wear there buddy!! Welcome back.

Nothing wrong with beer As long as you are drinking it you cant be too far wrong !!:) :b Steve

I'll say. :hAlittle kitchen sink at racking . :)Cool is talking about a 3 gal. batch but 2lb per gallon is still alittle low. Allie ,what are you calling that "blueberry wine" ?:?

The wife has a professional hair dryer that works great. I tried steam and made a mess and it didnt shrink very well. I will have to try Tom's suggestion. I have heard of using boiling water but have never tried it.

The local store Wine Works has 5 gallon carboys for $27.95, 3 gal are $21.95 and I believe the 6 gallon are $33.95 No shipping!!

I always kid my sister about whether or not she washed the bird doo off :)lol. It all just adds to the flavor.:b
