Sally,


We made a batch of home brew from a no boil kit, and we love it! No problem with carbonation at all. It rocks!

 

[sally3]

Oh now I'm really excited!!! This is new to me and I am looking
at the no boil kit that is simular to the Corona. Thanks you
all...and Med....who are you kidding...you are a pro.
Sally





I love this hobby

 

[sally3]

Oh I forgot....where do I pay my tuition fees? I feel like I'm in
a doctorate program for wine makers. Sally

 

[peterCooper]

Just send them to me, I'll pass them on.
Cash please no checks

 

[AAASTINKIE]

I haven't had any problems with carbonation, the best beers I have made
are Mexican Cerveza (Corona type) Pilsner, Wheat Beer, and Octoberfest,
Nut brown ale was good, but most of the other Darks were too bitter for
my tastes. The no boil kits do make fine beer as far as I am concerned.

 

[sally3]

Well then....we have it. One no boil kit for Sally please....and
a dozen limes too LOL. (oh and nachos supreme with x-tra salsa)
As always thanks so much! Sally

Just had 2 of the Cervezas that PWP and I brewed....after a long day at work they were really awesome....they are awesome on a warm afternoon too.

 

[MedPretzel]

Oh...... I accept PayPal.

 

[PolishWineP]

Bert is just so sweet! I didn't feel well last night so he had the 1st Cerveza for me, and THEN he had one for himself.

And he's the one who made secret calls to George to order the Cerveza kit for me for my birthday.

Sally, tuition here is free, but you have to remember to turn around and pass the knowledge on to others. (Sorry folks, she won't be crediting your PayPal accounts now.

) Some days I learn so much here that I'm afraid my brain will explode! But then I just delete a bunch of stuff that I learned in grade school that turns out to be wrong,

and it makes room for more information!

Bottled the Soputh African Chennin Blanc and the Green Apple wine today:

What a nice color the Chennin Blanc has!!

My label art, never thought I could be an artist!!...lol

 

[masta]

Nice lookin labels and wine Frank!!

 

[AAASTINKIE]

Thanks Masta, I am enjoying making the labels now, really trying to come up with eyecatchers.

I put 1/2 my Apple wine in 750's and 1/2 in 12oz. Green beer bottles for wine coolers.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

If anyone stops by, don't drive in the yard, it's still too soft!!!...lol

 

[PolishWineP]

Frank! The 4X4 doesn't do you any good if the wheels aren't on the ground!

I picked 9 quarts of dandelions today to make 3 gallons of dandelion wine, started today:

Hey i saw pics of the classic chainti bottles. How do you wash and clean them without the stuff getting wet and falling apart. My daugher likes those bottles and we make a lot of Chainti. Please help

I wash the inside with the brass bottle washer:

Then I just wipe the outside with a damp cloth and scrape the label off with a razor scraper.

There seems to be a love for food and beverage in these forums. Those mud bugs look wonderful now did you suck the bodies after you twisted the tails off? I have not been able to do that yet. But more wine and you never know or may fresh home brews.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

boiled my dandelion wine tonight and added the lemons, oranges and the
yeast. The zest of the lemons and oranges went into the boil.

the juice and pulp went into the primary.

Looks like Polly found some kin folk!


Our dandalions just flowered this weekend, but being in the city everyone around us keeps their yards sprayed. (I've even seen some neighbors walk into the yards next to them to spray!

) Not much available to us.
