Thats a nice color you got out of those Dandies Frank. I have to start
my gallon batch this weekend. Not jumping into this 1 full boar as you
have cause I have reservations about this!

 

[grapeman]

Alright Wade, enough of the references to that big pig(full boar).


Frank, I hope that all turns out nice, you have a lot of it! I opted to not make any DWine this year since only the wife drinks it and she hasn't been pulling her weight with drinking it lately.Edited by: appleman

I bottled my two batches of Vinodka Hard Cider yesterday, the directions said to filter with a wine filter, but after 2 gallons the filters were plugged, so I just bottled the cider as it was, tastes pretty good, I made it still because I wanted a semi sweet cider. Someday I would like to get a cornealius keg setup to carbonate without yeast, then I could make Champagne and clear beer.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

The kits come with little labels for the bottle caps, real nice, but they only give you 48 and you need 60??

Frank, your pictures of the dandelions inspired me to go collect some of those yellow beauties,to try a first ever batch, well I went trout fishing and forgot the bucket in the garage....have u ever seen dandelions after they sat in a bucket witha lid on it for four days!!! Back to the feilds i go next sunny day!!!


P.S. if u want to see what I caught that made me forget ...seee waldos memorial day feast thread!!

[AAASTINKIE]

Of course the high light of the day was throwing rocks in the bog!!

 

[masta]

Nice pictures Frank and I think all kids love to throw rocks in the water!


I can see chicken with lemon zestcooking in the smoker this summer and then washed down with a few bottles of Hard Cider!

 

[Trigham]

[PolishWineP]

I really like it when they make that THUNK sound when they hit the water.

 

[Waldo]

[AAASTINKIE]

We have hops plants!! I just noticed as I was posting this picture, one of those is a weed, just went out and picked it...lol

 

[AAASTINKIE]

I finally tackled the A/C swap in the wine cellar today, new small A/C in the closet.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

I moved the big A/C unit into the bedroom, had to cut the hole in the wall with a chainsaw, stink is almost gone now...lol

A couple of things Frank................


The "Herbs"....... When I was younger, I experimented with a plant that looks simular to the one growing near the stick in the picture............... Mine however was not an herb..........


And


Great job on the AC install.......... However..... for future reference, they call them "Window Units" for a reason............. No chainsaw required..
