I haven't been around all that long but I'm amazed how great folks have been in tackling questions that come pouring in here. It's obvious we all started out as rookies and asked many a question as our winemaking experiences have moved us along. It's nice to see folks share their knowledge in...

My son's a beer freak. Been making it for a year now. He usually has 3-4 batches going at once. It's fun to see what he makes. He spends tons of time looking at his beer-making magazines for recipe ideas.

That's right nice. I suggest you leave that one for decorations and use Dixie Cups when you're sippin'. :)

Sounds like he didn't do a good job of filtering his wine before bottling it. He might have used the wrong size cork and some broke off when he bottled it. I'd open it and filter it to get the gunk out of it. Then I'd taste-test it and go from there. If it tastes ok, you could go ahead and...

Now that I'm a dialysis patient, I can't drink as much as I did before. Don't mean I plan to make less wine but I hate having wine just sitting around. So, I plan to buy a corker and bottles so I can give bunches of my wines to friends for them to drink and enjoy.:p

mmmmm... turds... which peppers did ya use? I use serannos. :d

I'd buy a starter kit; it will include all the basic equipment you need to get started in this great hobby. As your knowledge grows, you'll have a better idea of what kinds of wine you want to make and how much which will drive what you need to have on-hand to make it happen. Some wine supply...

Favorite: The xMas song by Alvin and the Chipminks.

Here ya go. Hope you enjoy it if you make it. I've started another batch, 5 gallons this time. This recipe is for a 1 gallon batch. I do all my wines in 1 gallon test batches and then move to 5 gallons if I like what I made. 3 cans welch's 100% frozen white grape concentrate sugar to...

I've broken 2 now. Yeah I know; some folks just learn slowly. I keep a washcloth on the counter when I'm working on my wines to lay my hydrometer on so it don't roll off like the first one and hit the floor. :D

That's me over in my avatar. I'm the one in the middle. :pic

I like Mason jars; just pour from the gallon jug into the jars and stick em in the fridge to chill. And, I drink my wines using Dixie Cups; no broken glass on my floor when I drop a cup. I must be a hick. :fsh

My obsession for drinking wine keeps me going. :)

I vote for outside. But, that's just me. :h

Thank goodness glass gallon jugs only need you to give the cap a good twist to open. Money savers they be. :h

Damn straight. By the time the embalmer gets me I'll already be pickled. :h

You best get all that stuff before the wife changes her mind.:h

No medals here but the wife smiles a lot when she's sipping my wines.:h

Ah... Another visual reminder of why I live down south. :h
