We don't have muscadines in WI - not sure they have them in NY, either. Muscadines are a SE grape, from what I've read. "Vitis rotundifolia, or muscadine,[1] is a grapevine species native to the southeastern and south-central United States.[2] The growth range extends from Florida to New...

They look like wild grape vines to me. Small clusters & lots of vine. I just picked a batch of them (20+ #). They are called Fox grapes or Frost grapes or Ditch grapes - depending on where you live. I don't know if you can cultivate them or tame them or civilize them - but they make a...

Thanks. I had another guy that grows both varieties tell me the leaf shape (deeply lobed) is more akin to the Canadice. He had some comparison pics from a grape ID database that seemed pretty convincing. He also said his Reliance grapes had a deeper red color and the Canadice were more...

About 25-30 years ago - I bought a grape vine. I cannot remember if it was a Pink Canadice or a Pink Reliance. I also can't remember where I bought it. May have been Gurney's, might have been Jung's, could have been Stark's.. I remember it was one of the more cold-hardy grapes, which was one...

Yep - mine came in the mail yesterday, too. Some very interesting recipes in there.

Is it possible that the companies merged or VH was bought out or sold? I use SN9 a lot and still have some packs in the fridge. I have some in my cart at Adv In Brew (which I assume is the "Big A" ?) and it shows - SN9 Vintners Harvest Wine Yeast, by Mangrove Jack When I just did a search for...

Well, since nobody seemed to have a recipe - I'm just gonna wing it. Assembled today, based on limited previous experience - 11# of fresh-frozen Goji berries 8 cups Passion Fruit Pulp (3.5#) 1 cup - Red Currants (frozen) (6 oz) 1 box (15 oz) golden raisins - chopped 3 cans of Welches frozen...

I here ya. Pour grammers, mispelt werds, improper uses of punturations; butt specially when thay end a snectence with a interjections ~ like so......... And that's all I have to say about that. ;)

I've never used that. Usually they will tell you how much fresh fruit the can is equal to. OR there is a recipe on the can itself. Depending on where you buy it - there is often a place to ask questions about the product on the company website. Rhubarb wine is one of my favorites. I have...

Here's my recipe for a Cucumber Wine with a hint of lime basil. I use burpless cukes, because that's what I grow - same with the lime basil. Adjust ingredients as you feel necessary - that's how I made mine. I am also attaching the original recipe I used as a model before tweaking it to my...

Do they make a rhubarb concentrate? I use fresh/frozen rhubarb & have a recipe for that - it that would help.

I actually just bought this myself - 2 cans. I personally don't think 1 can makes 3 gallons. Unless you like it very weak. I used 1 can, then tasted it and added 4 pints of home canned black raspberries. In the Q's I read some one says 1 can replaces 5# of fruit. I use about 4# per gallon...

Has anyone made a Goji Berry wine from fresh/frozen berries? I have almost 12# of Goji berries I picked fresh and froze, so I think I have enough for a 3 gal batch. The only thing I am missing is a recipe - does anyone have one? I was considering adding a few ounces of red currants and some...

Oh, it needed way more than 2 or 3 seconds. Good info to know on the quality side, especially on the whites. This is a dark deep red from black raspberries. Like I said - this is the first time I've ever had a wine smell like this. It was fix it or dump it, and I'm glad I was able to fix it.

I think it turned out nice. My wife - not a fan. She made that face a kid makes when they bite into rhubarb for the first time. LOL Very chilled, it has a light cucumber taste, clean, fresh with a little basil note. I added some lime basil in the secondary. Tied some up in a mesh cloth &...

Well said.

I'll let ya know when it's in the bottles. LOL

Every bit of food you eat that you don't grow yourself is a chemistry experiment. Go to a restaurant? You have no idea where the food came from, how it was handled, what was sprayed on it, and who may have sneezed on it. Did the waiter wash his hands after he went to the bathroom? I worry...

I read that in a couple posts - I'll put that on the "next time I get to town list" - I may pick some up. I needed to degas it anyway, judging by the amount of foam that got whipped up.

LOL And how many bottles would I have drink in a day to get a "copper overdose" ? Likely it would be the quantity of alcohol making me barf, not the copper. I guess I just like to live dangerously! I don't wear a helmet when I ride my bike either!!
