Hmm, thats hard as I dont know anything about wine yet. I think maybe it was the taste but I wouldnt know how to describe that. I think I might enjoy a dry wine but with a different taste. I like sweet too, mind you, but not overly sweet. I guess what I missed was the fact that I could not find...

The WD-40 (liquid wrench really) deal worked out great. Thanks All. Waiting on the UPS truck to pull in driveway today.

We have the long growing season, you guys have the awesome colors during fall. I will plant yellow meated and orange meated watermelons from seed in mid March(its the whole reason I got interested in wine). Both varities are high surgar.

Peanut butter huh, whoda thunk it. I did think of -WD-40. Thanks

Funny you say that. I am planting squash today, not seeds though. Seedlings. Yeah, yeast does seem fairly cheap to buy.

Well, I had the Zinfandel. I really didnt like it to much. It wasnt bad or anything, just not for me. Maybe tomorrow night I will like the Merlot better.

I like that one too

I noticed that some of the Lindeman labels came off easier than others. Only a few of them though. I am going to do the Goo Gone thing too. As far as opening one of those wine bottles for tonights dinner am I supposed to let it breath for 30 minutes or something like that?

I checked the UPS website and my equipment and wine kit are here in Houston. I will be getting aquainted with the stuff tomorrow it looks like. Cant beat that. Well, I guess ifin it got here today you could beat it.

Right right. I kinda skeeeered of the tax man though. Even though, the head tax guy didnt get in trouble for not paying his taxes.

I bought a white zinfandel (Berringer) and a merlot (Barefoot) today. I've tasted wine before and liked it but I was never curious enough to look at the bottle or anything like that. I've also tasted wine I didnt like. I figure these are two common types of wine that are worth trying to...

#18 is so true.

Thanks, what yeast are you using? Another general question, can you keep a yeast strain or colony going?

Some observations Not all label glue is the same. You will work a little harder to get Lindeman labels off Most of the bottles are green. Some are yellow Cork style bottles have strong necks. Bottle cleaning goes better with classic rock It is useless to soak the little plastic...

Dang it, your gonna make me go look now.

Ah, I am soaking bottles right now. I noticed that all glue is equal. Lindeman wine labels seem to be a little more work.

So, would a watermelon wine benifit from that?

Thank You. You are right, they are cheap enough. Thats a little weird to me, Everything else seems to be of exacting measurements but not the yeast. How come¿ <---------------still scratching head

That was good, thanks for the laugh.

Yeast amount. I've searched and not found the answer. I know someone will probably post up a link from their search. Maybe I am not searching correctly. Anyway, the recipes always say to throw in the yeast but never how much yeast. Those packets you get (lalvin/red star), do they do six...
