Dad always said never pay more than half price for a used item. It seems the internet has sort of killed the good deal and made that advice difficult to follow but I'd offer him 40. All he can say is no.

I agree with closet. I made the same mistake on my first batch. I put it on during initial fermentation not realizing how much gas is released. It "boiled" about half the water out. Don't worry, your wine will be fine. Keep following the recipe. Next time remember the airlock isn't required...

So I transferred a couple days ago at 1.015. The yeasties took a while to get started but reduced 5 gallons of must from 1.09 to 1.015 in about 36 hrs. I let a couple of ounces sit over night in the fridge to settle out the yeast and its nasty. I had a taste strait out of the primary and...

This what it looked like 15 minutes after I transferred it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/41172846@N00/5048031915/sizes/l/ Next to it is a peach/white grape mix and on the other end is a peach, both of which are ready to rack. The peach isn't really clearing up like I had hoped.

I've been thinking the same thing but I definitely wanted it underdone rather than over the top jalapeno for the first batch. I just transferred it from the primary and gave it a taste and there was a very distinct jalapeno flavor to it. I'm sure it will mellow out a lot but I was pleased that...

Forgive me if I've missed something for I am but a noob. Is there a recipe section I should post this in? The recipe was for one gallon but I overplanted tomatoes this year and needed to do something with them and I ended up with 2.5 gallons of tomato juice extracted from about 25# of...

Anyone ever tried this? I followed a pretty standard red tomato recipe and added a couple of jalapenos to the must just because they were sitting on the counter while I was pressing the tomatoes. Thought it might add some complexity. I'll post as the batch progresses.

Tomato-Jalapeno So, I WAY overplanted tomatoes this year and I started 5 gallons of tomato wine. When I was pressing the tomatoes I was staring at a couple of jalepenos on the counter and decided "why not" and chopped them up with the maters. Anyone ever done this? How did it turn out? Mine...

So I've been a beer brewer for a few years now but I've gone off the chart with wine this fall. Had enough peaches canned from last year so made 6 gallons of peach wine with enough left over so I did another 5 gallons of a peach white concord mix from the grapes on the fence. The mix has cleared...
