Oh. Yeah, you are farther north. I think our apples are about ready to be used for this purpose. We are having a bumper crop this year also. I almost put a bid up on a 26 acre orchard this yer but I have a little too much going on to commit to it right now. I would love to try out the...

I've been at my parents in Tioga County, PA for the past few weeks (dad is sick) and they have them all over the place up here. I think I may grab a few of the berry pickers up that they have in (I think) the Gardeners catalog and set family and friends loose up here to harvest on all the state...

I was just reading something today about liquid pectin and you can test whether it will work or not by using some rubbing alcohol. I will try to find that article. It had to do with extracting pectin from apples and I may have even read it on this forum. But they gave methods to use to correct...

Sounds like Pennsylvania. The state owns all the liquor stores. from what I have gathered prices aren't as skewed as you are discussing but we can easily pay $5 to $10 more for a bottle of wine than wee would if we bought it from one of our neighboring states. We can purchase directly from...

Not that I have been at it that long but I have never used a kit to make wine. I have done a few from frozen concentrate, a few from fresh fruit, and a few from frozen fruit from the local grocery store. I like going and picking my fruit from the local orchards and talking to the people there...

If you want those particular taps it is a good deal. I suppose at that price they could be easily relabeled if those aren't your favorite brands (I'm guessing not big fans of any of those here). I'm into simplification. Just the standard one that came with the tap.

It is very strange how things are interpreted by lawyers. If your group were to have such an event I would say that the event must be specifically designed and advertised as one of the exceptions otherwise the LCB may take exception to it. They are pretty difficult to deal with. My wife actually...

It is in this nonsense somewhere. I read it a few months ago and haven't dug out the exact reference. http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/pennsylvania_liquor_code/18291 I reread some of it and there is an exclusion for competitions. Possession or transportation of liquor...

They may be. Beer is fine but the food is questionable outside the Harrisburg location so YMMV.

Troegs or ABC? They are both good at different things.

The law in PA states that you can produce wine but you are not allowed to transport it from the premises that it was manufactured. Beer/malted beverages may be transported within the PA borders. So to answer your question it is likely illegal to take home made wine to a competition if you don't...

I suppose I have been lurking for a while and should introduce myself. I have been brewing beer for about 10 years, picked up mead about 8 years ago, and I have started making fruit wines this year. Had I known the variations in difficulty I would have likely been making wine from the beginning...

I wouldn't because I would be concerned that the "flavor" from the turkey may remain. My wife used one of my stock pots one time to do something with a turkey and it had an odor in it that made me never again use it for brewing. It was also the second time I had to discuss with my wife the use...
