My Cascade hops are almost ready to pick also, but I can tell you from last year they get really light after they dry!!

After making wine for a few years now I have stopped filtering my wine, if I was going to be in a contest I would but now the Mini-Jet just sits in the closet, it's just another step that takes more time and work, and I'm short on time and tired of working!!

Your welcome, thought I would bump this up cause it's grilling season now, the snow is all melted up here...lol

Late for my own birthday!!!!! I worked that day but the Lovely Rita had Lobsters, Steamers, and Mussels in wine sauce for me and 2 friends who came over, we also had a bottle of our Champaign and it was a hit!!

We got ALL the snow here!! The Lovely Rita has been shoveling all day. I haven't had any pain from this Hernia ever, some discomfort after the operation when getting up and down but I never took any of the pain pills, it makes it hard to sit here and not do anything!! (I haven't been able to...

I'm glad you told me this or I would have been calling the doc Friday night!!!! .......AAAHHHHHHHH........
