I am I am. Every third week I start a 3 gallon batch of Hard Apple Cider. I make it out of those frozen juice concentrates. My friends and neighbors cant get enough of it. I made tons of Strawberry wine, drank that up. I do have a blackberry kit going right now for a neighbor.

The peach wine was ok, not a favorite of mine but it was well liked by the females. My watermelon plants are HUGE and I have little watermelons the size of the tip of my pinkie. I am excited. I have tons of red watermelon plants. I will probably harvest around 100 red ones. I have a few...

You guys are something. I have managed to store one bottle of wine. It gets drank up around here.

I done bought several different carboys, have about 200 empty 750ml wine bottles, need more corks, ans am fixin to get a wine filtration pump.

Yes I did. I looked beautiful. Tasted like crud. The clove overpowered the mead. My mom loved it. I am currently making a whole bunch of different fruit wines. I love those. Best to date was the hard apple cider.

I've noticed that the Lalvin Yeast EC-1118 says it will operate at 10 degrees Celcius which I believe to be 50f. Have any of yall noticed a yeast that will operate at a lower tempature?

Ok, I will try this in the early morn. Should I take the strawberries out of the freezer tonight or can I do this while they are frozen?

I've not ordered it yet. I know I want a wine kit but I cant decide on the one I want. I like the fruit wines really well but I still want to have a kit around. There are to many choices.

I have been going over old threads about F-pacs and I am just not getting it. I had 6 gallons of strawberry going. Actually it was a 5 gallon batch and a 1 gallon batch madeat the exact same time. I racked off of the lees today and had enough for 5 gallons total. I used 24 lbs of strawberries to...

Congradulations. That does look good. I too, am new and have only bottled one kit. I am into the fruit wines now. Question, how do you like that bucket with the spigot? Any issues?

Is this the gravity fed filter?

We've got woodpeckers here too. I can never get a camera on them though. Never even thought one would go to a bird feeder. Imagine that. Good Pictures

Mine came out at about 12.5 to 13 % after I adjusted it. Everybody but me liked it. I gave a bunch away (they came back for more). My parents loved it. I did back sweeten

And all it cost me was two 750 ml of very very young strawberry wine out of the 4 liters I started with. Thank God I have started a 6 gallon batch and I have 48 pounds of strawberry frozen. Have I mentioned that I am grunk

My neighbor that lets me have all of the horse manure today decided that we did not need to wait on the strawberry wine to clear today. We are all drunk right now. Really drunk. I did come home...
