I think the wine conditioner has sorbate in it doesn't it?
Does this work better than just a sugar water?
Oh yes.......Awesome looking wine there stinkie

Would like to put a "lip lock" on a bottle of that.

 

[grapeman]

You're right Waldo, the conditioner would have sorbate in it. I'm just paranoid now everytime I see blueberry in a bottle after the eruption. I've only used conditioner one time- I don't like the results I got with mine(it tasted funny after adding it), so I use sorbate and sweeten with sugar water when a wine needs it.

Lookin' good, Stinkie!!!

Hey there Waldo



Iam looking at some steam juicers on Ebay. I have a question,Where did you get yours all i have seen have aluminum bottoms and id like a stainless steal.I have a birthday in November & am hinting to my sweet wife for one LOL.





Also i hit it lucky today! I know this lady that is getting a divorce and she gave 22 5 Gallon carboys that has been in her barn about 15 years. They are plenty dirty but will clean up.

HArry, you lucky rascal you. Sounds like you may need more than one steamer to get all them carboys a bubbling

I purchaed mine on ebay and is stainless with the aluminum clad bottom which distributes the heat better than just stainless would. Other than that, it is all stainless.

Secret blueberry recipe here, PUT ON YOUR FOIL HATS PLEASE!!

I put sorbate in when stablizing.

I stirred the blueberries every day, only recorded it when I took a SG reading.

This made 5 gallons, and one 750ml bottle, it's in the carboy fining.

Stinkie..... Thats incredible.... Whats more incredible is when one stops and thinks of all the things that you do, cook, can, make wine, beer, fish and play with the kids, fix not just your house up, but now your kids house, chop wood, babysit and still old down a full time job..........


I gotta say, I hope my wife never reads this thread

She thinks all men are capable of is working and making wine......... personnally, I want to keep it that way, but you may give us gents a bad name...... LOL

Awesome job there stinkie

 

[grapeman]

Harry, I wish I had that problem of too many carboys.
Stinkie- that's a first rate installation there!

 

[AAASTINKIE]

I'm on a 15 night shutdown run at work so I can't get much done, all I
did today was can some green tomatoe pickles, make and can 7qts of
spagetti sauce, and brew two beers. I'm slacking off...lol

 

[AAASTINKIE]

 

[AAASTINKIE]

Keep those primary's full!!

 

[Wade E]

Stinkie, what do you do with the green tomatoes?

 

[NorthernWinos]

Looks like he made some relish or pickles of some sort....
Tiny green tomatoes make nice pickles, just use your favorite pickle recipe and use them instead of cukes.
Fried green tomatoes are great...
I have made green tomato mincemeat before and canned it...I didn't put the suet in it like they said...It made great Christmas pies and tarts....Had lots of spices, apples and raisins..it is very good...yummmm!!!

[Wade E]

Those dont look tiny to me. I have never tried fried green tomatoes, what do they taste like?


Edited by: wadewade

 

[NorthernWinos]

Looks like Stinkie made his green tomato pickles out of big tomatoes....guess we have to wait for him to get off work to check back for the details...
For the tiny tomato pickles that I make I grow Sweet Million or Tiny Tim, etc...they are cherry tomatoes...then I use the green ones, about 1 inch around, then they are all the same size...put some garlic and hot red peppers in the jar too...
Fried green tomaotes probably aren't for everyone, they are kind of tart...I slice them about 1/2" thick, dip them in Shore Lunch or seasoned flour and fry them in oil on medium heat...turn them and melt a peice of cheese on them...do the same with Eggplant....We like them....some people don't.
