I use the Vinbrite filter all the time but I don't hardly wait long enough and usually get clogged up and have to change the filter a couple times mid filter. :)

on the spot ... and it was sour ... not sour candy sour but like turned milk sour (not milky taste)

practice practice practice... jump in make some wine and become a fly on this wall. Great place to get second hand knowledge.

I am not sure what we did or didn't do but this turned out terrible and we dumped it out.... which was weird because the only things I had put in it so far was candy canes ... water and yeast... oh well it was just an experiment.

I just bottled the new batch of Hole Fire Wine and wow it is good... the Currants gave the final product a darker color I think but I did use all green peppers this time instead of red. They did how ever give a much better mouth feel than the raisins so that was a plus. I have a pepper plant...

What does a Prickly Pear taste like?

My opinion would say yes but I am not entirely sane when it comes to heat! but if you don't plan on drinking it then make it scalding because you can make chili or put in spaghetti or other dishes and its great. just put them in blender seeds and all (De stem) and add half your sugar to the...

I am not sure ... I will post a pic when it is finished. I think others on here maybe able to answer that though

Okay to be clear I use the chemicals now (sparingly) but when I started I was totally against it.. most of our batches went pretty well but we had some huge failures. (off flavors) (infections) Our wine did not start becoming great until we controlled the fermentation environment. just my 2...

O.o forgot to take a pic ... get my notes when I get home. Compare recipe's?

Ya Gross Rocky lol

I think there is some law some where that requires pics with disaster posts lol

The other day we were cleaning out or kiddo's candy stash sense its almost a year old. there were several candy canes and two of the big giant ones so we melted these down with a little sugar and threw it into a carboy... Looks like pepto lol will post pic later. any one ever tried?

So this wine is 4 months old now and the other night we opened a bottle(two) and were very impressed how well this turned out. it is actually the best chardonnay I have ever drank. I think we may do another batch of the next year.... can't wait to see what its like in a year or two.

wow ... one month to the bottle ... pretty quick. did it clear all the way? filter it? Did you take a final pic before bottle?

No it was honey from black berry flowers.

JAOM uses cloves and cinnamon sticks and such and they sit in the carboy for two months and don't seem to rot... may depend on type of spice added but I would think that the few days (comparably) primary involves you should be safe.
