Me and the wife are really like big reds that are just off dry with a big berry nose. made a Mixed Berry Concord last year that is now our favorite. thinking of doing somthing in a simler, have a Carboy comming avail this week, and nothing in the pipeline that batch size. thinking 5 gallons...

Yeah I actually found them last night. Setup a reminder in my phone for august to see what they will be selling.

Anyone know of any vinyards that sell grapes or juice in southwest michigan?

I have a White Grape Peach Wine thats been going for about a month, OG of 1.096, racked to secondary after a week at 1.02 and 1.005 after 2 weeks, week later right at 1.005 still. was going to be a sweet wine. should I let it sit longer? or would racking and stablizing be a good idea right...

Yeah I think I saw that but its apple based, so not the real thing.

Pretty good. The recipe I used wasn't really skeeter pee. Was a tart wine with some cherry aroma. The slurry was a Amazon Zinfandel blush kit I added 1 lb of raisens to that I kept with the slurry. The raisins from the slurry gave it some nice body Did end up back sweetening with 1 bottle of...

Here is one of the houses http://kalamazoo.michiganhomeownership.org/property/1021-n-rose This area is more of a thin out. 50 percent of the homes are new on the road. Some of the area was converted to a very nice looking park and a new expansion of the "family health center". Its about 3...

So in a dilemma. Been house shopping for about a month or two in the Kalamazoo area. Mainly was lookin for a countryish house. This weekend I happened across a program kzoo is doing they torr done 50+ homes in a niehborhood that was heading south. And built some parks new public buildings...

that is awesome...definatly going to remember this when I build a wine rack when I move

I always just have 3 bottles of lemon juice on hand and wife bakes a lot so always have lots of cane sugar around. Whenever I have a wine that had a nice healthy ferment and I think would taste good as a base I start a batch of skeeter. My batch I started yesterday was on the slurry of a...

I usually start mine with 1 bottle of lemon then day 2 add 2nd with nutrients then day 5 or so add the last. Works well for me. But to be honest never had a stuck ferment in my 5 batches of skeeter pee ( 3 original 2 blends of something else)

I'm liking the black cherry concord idea...I did a pretty strong concord grape wine (3 cans concentrate for a gallon then SG to 1.1). I actually really liked the Concord flavors...I drank it young after a month in the bottle...and kinda miss it wish I did more and took notes lol. I have a...

I love skeeterpee, I like that its super cheap and fast to make (both in actual prep and finished product) is there any more I dunno Cooler weather wines that are simlar I can try? (something that isn't a summery as lemon lol)

Oh I know it won't be the same. Not looking to clone just looking for the style I guess.
