WAY TO GO, SMURFE. Great job on the tutorial. Archer

Ports are new to me. What other fruits would make a acceptable port. Archer

Speaking of eggplant, there are also other prolific producers in all our gardens. I love fresh cucumbers so I usually overplant them. when everything goes well, I get tons of them and end up giving them away at work. Is it possible to make wine from them? What about tomatoes? 1 gal...

Ryan, Go for it, at least the gravity filter. I filtered 2 galllons of Concord saturday, and it looks fantastic. It won't be tasted for many more months. Good luck. Archer

Martina, Great post. I have one of these gravity filters, also. I lift my carboy up to the kitchen counter and just siphon it to the filter, which sits on the receiving carboy. One concern I have is that the wine just drips into the receiving carboy. I'm concerned this will oxygenate my...

I kept it under the house so I wouldn't have easy access to it. I also drank lots of commercial wine. I just bottled 6 moregallons of Chianti last week and I wonder if that wine will make it to the one year mark. I hope my Montepulciano comes out as good. I need to bottle that soon,so as to free...

Great post Thor, I too, was looking for rack plans, thanks. Thanks for the plans jc. Archer

Masta, Allow me to scold you. There were way too many empty carboys at your place. I hope they become active again soon. Good luck. Archer

Nice bottles, Waldo! Great job.

Thanks for the explanation Masta. This makes sense to me. Thanks Peter, for the tip. Archer
