Hi, My batch of SP is finally done. I racked it into the primary bucket so that I can give it a good stir and add the kmeta and sorbate. I then transfered it back into the carboy and mixed up the batch of sparkloid and added it. After looking at it.. I'm thinking that there may be too much air...

After everyone's posts - it makes sense now that I transferred it too soon. I guess I jumped the gun on this one! We were heading down to the shore for a few days and I was leery just leaving it sit out in the primary. I thought I was going to come home to the rotten egg smell! Thanks for the help!

It was 1.050 down from 1.085 when I first pitched the Slurry. I took the air lock off and it's sitting now to air out some.

Hi again, I was hoping for some opinions about this cherry wine that I have in the primary. I used this recipe that I found on your forum somewhere. Cherry Wine [Dry] (1) 4-5 lbs fresh or frozen sweet cherries 1-3/4 lbs finely granulated sugar 7-1/2 pts water 2 tsp...

Hi, I had a quick question about what to do with my latest SP batch. I started this batch last week with a slurry instead of adding new yeast. It took off and after a few days was ready to go into the carboy. Now that it's in the carboy it keeps bubbling up into the airlock and over the sides...

This looks delicious. I've fileted open pork tenderloin, seasoned it, and stuffed it w/ stuffing and rolled it back up and tied it off w/ string and that turned out really good. Never thought to use cream cheese filling. Thanks for the idea!

That would be perfect for the small space I have to store wine since the description says it can break down into (2) smaller units that you can sit side by side. My wine storage area is only 40" wide, 40" tall, and 60" deep. (It's a crawl space closet underneath a half staircase.) Thanks for the...

I just bought a blueberry bush this spring and planted it. It looked good in the flower bed that I made so I figured It would serve 2 purposes- be pretty and provide fruit. It is maybe 2 feet tall and has maybe 20-30 blueberries (not ripe) on it and some flowers. Am I supposed to pick the...

Blackberry wine. I got inspired after reading a book about wine making. I went to a local farm and picked a TON of blackberries. (I think I picked 9 lbs with the help of the kids. They were stained purple by the time we were done.) I got a recipe online and got the ingredients and tried my hand...

Eww. That doesn't look like SP... \

I figured it out! I didn't see the "LIke this" link when I first posted.

My mother and twin sister both had their gall bladder's removed. They did it laparoscopically and they both now have 3 small scars (the size of pencil erasers) along the right side of their abdomen and one inside their bellie button. The tough part was not being able to use your stomach muscles...

Maybe I'm blonde but I don't see anywhere to "like" anything. Is it the "rate" drop down thing at the top of the thread?

Thank you so much! ~Kate

Hello, I know I saw this somewhere on this forum but I am unable to find the link now. Does anyone know off hand what the formula for bringing the SG up to the desired level? (How much more sugar I need to add to raise it a few points?) I currently am at 1.076 and want to have it in the...

These sound like potato aphids to me. I had them in my veggie garden last year and they really chewed up a few of my younger plants. The aphids can fly or jump from plant to plant and will spread if left untreated. The way I got rid of them was mix 2 tablespoons of the original Dawn Dish...

Wow that is a lot of wine to bottle in one day! Great labels, too!

I"m with you! it's 7.5 hours from me. I would love to go meet you guys at your wine party but it is a bit too far. I'm in S. Jersey. (Probably 1/2 hour from the Deleware Mem. Bridge.). It would be neat to have something in the S. NJ, Phila., Del, area.

I did enter. After entering, the first thing I did was check their site to see that they sold it. I really want one. I'm praying that I win it! It seems that the wine pump (everyone is saying) makes bottling fun. :)

My husband disappears when it's bottling time and reappears when it's ready to drink! My 6 year old daughter hung out with me last night to cheer me on all the telling me what a big helper she was for putting the corks on top of the corker for me and lining the bottles up once they are done. She...
