Give Away Sounds great. Count me in.

Wow those are some great looking bottles. I pick and make PawPaw, also. What state are you in Jeffro?

Thanks so much. I'll give it a try.

I have some Paw Paw wine that I have been trying to clear since summer. I used Bentonite with no success. I think it has a pectin haze going on. My question is will pectic enzyme help it at this point or does it have to be put in at the beginning of fermentation? Thanks for any input.

I recently made some peach. I was the second batch of wine I made. It turned out very well. What was wrong with your crabapple/apple?

Elderberries Hello, Crackedcork. Thanks for the tips. I will try those next year. I am in the Northern Panhandle of WV. We too had a lot of rain, but didn't get a blight. Bummer for you. Also don't have many stinkbugs. I know a lot of areas are seeing a lot of them. I have a batch of...

Elderberries I made a batch of elderberry wine this summer - my first batch of wine ever. I found that freezing the berries on the stems makes it easier to remove them.
