New member from Delaware

[Jim Welch]

Hello everyone, my name is Jim and I am a new member here. I am a long time beer brewer with modest success at that. I have made a couple batches of wine with a bit of success and have decided to get a bit deper into winemaking. I have noticed, as in many special interest forums, that folks use acronyms to make messages shorter but as a newbie to winemaking I'm not sure what many of them mean. Of course as a brewer I know the universal ones like SG, OG, FG etc.
is there a post here that defines well used acronyms? I'd appreciate any help, thanks

On the beginners forum there is a sticky of common terms. Think you can find most of the acronyms there. Welcome to the forum. Arne.

Here is the thread that Arne refers to: https://www.winemakingtalk.com/threads/common-terms.4440/

And welcome to WMT!

Thank you folks, just read that thread and it did answer one of the acronyms I was wondering about-EM. Plus the links to the online resources was/will be helpful.

I see posts about frozen must and am thinking about trying a batch after I get the kits I purchased all fermented and aging.

Hello again, I’m not sure where to post this but I wanted to share it. I made my a batch Zinfandel from a kit in 2015. I decided to enter a bottle in the 2019 Wine Maker Mag contest to get an honest opinion of it not expecting to medal. I was tickled pink to find out a couple months ago my wine was awarded a Silver medal in the Zinfandel category!
