Steve, this is the way I plan on making mine. I have 40 pounds ready in the freezer now...

How about "Arnold Palmer's Pee"? Does that sound better?

Chris, did you use any energizer? I have some if you need it in a pinch.

Good, was down to 1.05 yesterday. However, was called out of town yesterday on a death in the family suddenly so I am praying that it is not bubbling over in my wine cubby. That will be nice to come home to!

Chris, Patience...isn't that what you would tell me?

Per current Alabama law, a person (does not specify any household limit) cannot be IN POSSESSION of more than five gallons of homemade wine. It does not matter who made it. There are several petitions circulating trying to get this law changed.

Unfortunately Reilly, not from me. It used to be the part of wine making that I hated the most. Now I have an All in One and after a few rackings, I could not pull a gas bubble if I tried. What took me three days takes me under fifteen minutes.

I bought mine at the dollar store.

I think your train of thought. Not sure who is monitoring the amount of fermenting fruit in my house, but I am sure big brother knows somehow. And yes, my wife is a happy accomplice to at least the consumption portion of this obsession...I mean hobby.

Definitely the carbonation, maybe would not have been as bad if the abv would have been less.

I tried this about two months ago using 2 tbs of dextrose to one gallon of DB. I personally did not like the taste of it. I used ez-caps and will continue to age this and try again in a few months.

Chris, funny as I did not start mine like I said. After spending three hours cleaning, slicing and bagging my three flats, I decided to freeze mine and start on Saturday. Keep us updated. You could attempt to stop the wild fermentation and start fresh with new yeast. I have a feeling that your...

I have been asked about purchasing my wine. So far, I have only given mine away. However, the thought of selling the bottles just to cover the cost is intriguing. What are the laws in doing this? I live in Florida.

Nice bottles! Lol
