It probably is a good idea that you are not making wine in a muslin country but would you be
able to dry the fruit and take it with you when you leave? I didn't think of drying. Excellent
idea as the ...Posted in thread: How to Calculate Wine ABV % on 04-25-2012 at 10:42 PM
DD, as you say they are all close. Do you know that the ABV as stated on a bottle of commercial
wine can be plus or minus 1%? So what you see on those bottles is not dead on accurate either.
But, if y...Posted in thread: What are you making and what have you made ??? on 04-25-2012 at 10:40 PM

the progr...Posted in thread: 09 results on 05-16-2010 at 05:13 PM
Tom, I did! In 07 my husband and I just got startedbrewing via the internet. Then we moved to
GE. So in the year's break from brewing, I read both Jack Kellers website tidbits and then this
forum. I a...Posted in thread: Orange Banana,,,, on 05-15-2010 at 08:57 AM
This sounds like it could be a delightful wine but question the peels. I used limes with my
strawberry last year and they overpowered the entire flavor. Not nice at all. It should be
interesting to se...
