any progress on yours? mine are still slowly clearing and still smell great.

i've got alexander's reisling, gewurtz, and merlot all started. i made a gallon and half because anything under that ended up being to high of a s.g for me.the reisling is coming along good. the gewurtz and merlot smell great and are starting to clear.

well... i might have to try the baking soda... i tried 3 starters, more nutrient, and it stopped at 5%... depression...

I made the mistake of shooting something *not chopped* down with *not two* barrels and using 3in mag in with *not a pistol* grip. i had a bruised hand for like a month and i almost dropped it when i pulled both triggers.

stevens side by side. 12ga. think barrels are right about 22in. Being about 50% redneck i've been around guns since i was little. Mom actually has a mossberg 500 long barrel chambered in 20ga that she used as a bird gun so i know that gun pretty well. i keep a standard 870 as home defense. 2...

Thanks! So far today: got a new shotgun got some magazines for my pistol got to drive a turbo diesel jeep eat a steak later i'm supposed to go get wings and beer and this weekend we're celebrating my birthday and my buddies bachelor party. it's gonna be a major hangover come monday.

i wish i had been able to get anything in ground this year. i'll have some pears and some blueberries but thats it. i was hoping i could get some more strawberries but i never got a chance to do a raised bed like i wanted plus here in ohio it seems like, up until today, it was raining for...

tasting is important in my world. sometimes, a lot of times really, i cant smell for anything so being able to taste helps. especially for sweetening or adjusting acid to my taste.

first thoughts... maybe you could unbottle and sweeten to taste. sometimes you need sugar to bring out the flavor or you could unbottle and try a f-pack. i had this issue my first time i made an apple too. i ended up using apple flavoring to make it better. my last batch i made with juice that i...

I'd be so excited for a rapture and Zombie Apocalypse. i would be able to fully test my shooting skills and looting capabilities.

part of me wants to make a comment about women not being allowed and yeast infections... but i'm not feeling witty today. anyways... kinda cool except it kinda kills all the modern ideas of sanitizing.

yea thats pretty cool. makes me wish i had taken french instead of german in school. i always forget that some of the french words lose their last vowel...

i would say that the amount of head space you have would be a problem and could lead to contamination but i've been wrong before...

i ended up trying this after your first post. i used 3 cans (bacardi) and water to make a gallon. then i had to adjust sugar to roughly 11-12%. which meant i actually ended up with just over half a gallon after adding to much sugar. lol. i used the red star yellow package. Pasteur champagne i...

i hated 4loko. most of them tasted horrible. but they did serve the purpose of partying. $2 and it's pretty much like drinking a whole bottle of wine...

as far as i know you should be ok with star san. some of the local people i know that raise cows also use it for wine making since they have it in bulk... but just as a backup in case the farmers were wrong: http://www.winepress.us/forums/index.php?/topic/45689-star-san-use/

acid test kit. i tried for awhile without one now that i use one i can taste the difference. maybe a sulfite test kit too if he has the money. some glass marbles or some smaller jugs cause i know i had a ton of problems siphoning when i started... even with the auto siphon and i would come up...

"Green bottle" Buckfast tonic wine, usually found in the United Kingdom Red wine based aperitif, 15% abv. Sodium glycerophosphate, an emulsifier. Dipotassium phosphate, a protein stabiliser Disodium phosphate, a stabiliser and emulsifier. Caffeine, 37.5 mg/100ml (i.e. 0.0375 % w/v)...

hmm... i dont know about the coffee. i think it would be easier to just crush up caffeine pills and dump them in when back sweetening. wouldn't the coffee leave a bitter after taste? are you looking for short term creation or long term? cause short term i would just go buy a bottle of cheap red...
