You should sanitize everything each time you use it before it touches your wine.

What city are you in?

I've used it a couple of times. It usually clears anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. After it's done you still want to give your carboy a couple of quick turns a couple of times a day and let it set for at least a week before racking it to a clean carboy.

Not to take this too far off topic but is anyone going to bottle theirs like the original author? He put it in clear bottles with a cap instead of a cork. I'm gonna try this but being as I've never capped before just wondering if you rinse the caps with sulphite solution before you cap or if...

:u Wow, I just found a gallon for $14.50 with shipping at $13.74. http://bigriverwholesale.com/zencart2/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=479This one also says that it's USP grade. I guess I should have looked a little more before I bought mine.

I think they were all about the same for shipping. Here's a place that's a couple of bucks cheaper but it doesn't say that it's USP grade, something that I was told to look for.http://www.chemistrystore.com/Glycerin-Glycerin_1_Gallon.html

No, not a typo but I just checked and it's $29.00 now. Here's the link. http://www.organic-creations.com/servlet/the-1058/edible-food-grade-glycerin/Detail

So if you ferment your cookies long enough you could get drunk from them.:dg

Welcome to the forum, and the addiction of winemaking.:h

I think I'll try the acid blend. Do you know what the TA was when you started?

I just got a gallon a couple of weeks ago for $23.00.

There's a discussion going on here about skeeter pee. http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5921

I couldn't agree with you more Desertdance. I, like most other people on this site, am here to find out more on how to make wine, hopefully a good wine, but only for my own consumption along with a few friends. I would not want the headache of trying to sell my wine. I'm strictly doing it for...

Sounds like a good plan to me.:D

I'm curious about boiling the raisins. Is this to get rid of the sulfites? The only time that I used raisins I just soaked them overnight. Or does boiling them do something else to them.

Looks like a very good recipe. I'll have to give it a try. I'm glad you're sharing your recipe instead of keeping it a secret.:D

Hmmm, I guess I'll have to add a crowbar to my list of wine making tools.:)

I'm curious as to how this works out. I'm going to try my hand at making this in the spring. I don't know if I'll try the Skeeter pee or your Mosquito pi$$. Please let us know how it turns out.

Thanks rawlus. I'll be sure to look for food grade and possibly USP if I can find it. It sure is a better deal than paying $2.50 per 4 oz from my LHBS.

Is the glycerin you get from my LHBS the same as what they sell on other sites for other purposes? Here are a couple of quotes from organic creations dot com about their glycerin. "Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it will attract moisture to your skin. The more glycerin you have in your cosmetic...
