This was fabulous early So I moved cross country last fall but before I could do that i had to breakdown my whole living situation, which included all of my wine and beer. I threw a big going-away party and basically had all the wine that was drinkable set out for folks to try. This wine...

Hi all, I joined up over a year ago and was practically a fixture on the forum for awhile but as we all knkow life has a way of stepping in and forcing us to reorganize. I made the decision to drop everything in minneapolis and move back home for a number of reasons. A friend's terminal...

So a good friend has an organinc vineyard and tons of dandelions which I can pick as much as I want. The problem is I get them picked but by the time we get home I'm too exhausted to start in on the petal-cutting. i would like to just throw them into the freezer and come back to them another...

What am I doing right now? Well, I've been out of the loop for at least a month. Working a new shift, (3rd and I hate it) and trying to get my syllabus and order books for the next school year. I haven't had a chance to check up on the forum as much as i used too or start any new wines. All my...

Hey there's a time and a place for box wine...I mean the moment my 'now' ex bought a box wine I knew that it was only a matter of time before we were through. Not to mention I take box wine to the parties of people I sorta know and like thus making sure I won't be wasting good glass bottles on...

Welcome. Hey feel free to jump on in.

that sounds delicious. I'm going to have to try that this winter.

Speaking as a complete newbie of solo beerbrewing (I just did my first kit, an extract on Sunday) it pays to read the How-to-brew. It gives a great overview and it's really clear and it was pretty easy to follow. Good luck. Is it jsut me or is beer and wine two sides of a very addictive coin...

Allie, I'm glad to see you have the Choc Rasp Port. I put in my order but they say they won't be shipped until september. i'm hoping to give a few bottles away for holiday gifts. I am still planning on making the one from Wade's recipe but w/ raspberries but waiting till they come a little...

Thanks Luc, I'll do that this morning. WSG

:r I work 3rd shift so after work is around 7am and I do have a bloody after breakfast.

I found two 5gal. carboys. One basement and one in the garage (that one was in a box). I washed them both out with PBW and rinsed them well with hot water. The one that was used for bottled water (coolers) I saw had a white film on the bottom of the bottle. Does anyone know what that might be...

nice looking mead.

Ok I'm inspired by the fact that I came home from the club around 1245am and didn't want to go to bed or sit in my house, so I came out to the front porch wth my laptop and a bottle of pinot blanc I made and am sitting here unwinding. I'm drinking straight from the bottle (that's one more glass...

I tried to siphon the old fashioned way because my auto-siphon didn't fit in the 1 gallon jugs...One unfortunate wine-catastrophe later and I bought the smaller auto-siphon. There's no shame in letting technology aid you :) WSG

Thanks. Ok so that was way more than .02 I'm thinking your words are right up there in the .10 to .15 range. See everything is adding up nicely. I'm just going to pick your brains for awhile. :) I've never used that calculator. I'm thinking that I don't want it too bitter. What I like about this...
