Just returned from a Xmas party of some local wine makers. Nice party and good food. Bill who hosted the party just got the new hanna 222 ph meter and kevininpa was showing us how to calibrate and test with it. Then Kevin pulled out his big gun that he just bought. A new ebulliometer. Heck, I can't even pronounce it let alone understand it. But it looks pretty cool!

Hey Daisy, good to see you back after all this time. Did you make it back up north to get some wine juice? Don't be such a stranger and stick around! The niagara looks great and good to know you're still fermenting!:try
 
Thanks Runningwolf!

I never did make it back up to Erie. I was given a bunch of Welch's with fiber juice that literally "fell off a truck" so I've been busy turning that into wine.

Funny story... about a month ago I was given two free glass carboys that a friend had in her shed... Upon further inspection there was a scene you'd see in Tombstone... I looked into the bottom of one of them and saw sand and little mouse carcasses... Sprawled out, legs and arms in all directions and nothing but skeletons and a little bit of fluff... If only there was rolling tubleweed...
 
Hi Daisy

Glad to see you back posting and glad you are still fermenting, you still up there in Brookville?
