Okay, that one I had to look up. I have never heard the term "Stelvin" before. I've used plenty of screw caps but I didn't know Stelvin was the proper name. Hey I learnded somtin new today :) Oh, and by the way, no I don't have the equipment to bottle with Stelvin closures, maybe that's somthing...

I use 1 to 2 oz. per gallon

I add to almost all of my batches whether it's from scratch or a kit. It adds a nice mouthfeel to it I think.

Yes I did the counter edges too, and the whole kitchen as a matter of fact. I have my own cabinet making business, plus another full time job. Woodworking is also my hobby, I've always had an interest in it. The woodworking does also help pay for the wine habit:D

That was actually an after thought. After it was all put together I was trying to figure out how to keep everything together and I put the jigs inside and they fit perfect. So then I just put a door on it.

Thanks all for the complements. I enjoy making small stuff like this for myself when I get a little bit of time (which isn't all that often). Thanks for the complement on the label runningwolf. I found the picture and my wife came up with the rest of the label. That stuff sure was HOT!!!!!! We...

Well, I finally got tired of trying to line up my labels by eye so I made myself a jig to line them up for me. It even matches my bottle filler that I made earlier. That can be seen on this thread http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11023 [/IMG] [/IMG] I have 3...

Sign me up. :d

So how would you figure out the alcohol content? I would guess that if you started out with a gallon at 12% and you got a quart out of it would you have 48% ? That seems pretty high, anyone know how to calculate it?

I couldn't make it out from the picture, I thought it was just the corrugated piece. With a support under it though you could possibly cut the wavey piece into thirds to make it go even further.

Alcohol boils away at about 172 degrees farenheit, unlike water which is 212 degrees farenheit. So just keep the temp under 150 and you'll be fine.

Depends on how thin it is at it's narrowest point. I've seen them at the store but never looked closely at them. It might be a little weak. You could always run a board under it for support if you had to.

Boy, like I haven't heard that before. :)

Just send your money to me. :D:D:D

The "rippled area" is available at your local Home Depot or Lowes. All it is is the stuff used to support corrugated roofing.

The Pina Coloda sounds pretty tasty. :dg Wonder how soon they'll be coming out with them.

That does sound good. Hopefully Wade will post the recipe soon.:h

That looks awesome.:br So how much does something like that cost to make?

WOW!! I LOVE that idea. That's one way of using my vacuum pump that I never thought of.:d

I agree Larry. I have a hard time not drinking mine but I'm getting better than when I first started a little over a year ago. Now I try to do some quick drinkers like the Island mist kits along with my regular kits or fruit batches. I can drink the Island mist ones while I'm waiting for the...
