Curious before I even venture into this point, but is there a trick to labeling the bottles so that they are all even and at the same point on the bottle?

I'm wanting to make a triple-crossover here -- Lemon + Tea for an Arnold Palmer - like flavoring, green tea + honey for the herbal effect, and of course the honey makes it a mead. Okay, after looking over some other mead recipes and a few other threads on some unnamed website that specifically...

I've posted this before, but here are my plans for my next batch: Skeeter Pee with a yeast culture (I don't have any slurry to work with and would prefer to keep anything out of it that may change the flavor). Going to start in a 6 gallon carboy rack it down to a 5. Will use: Real Lemon...

Looking for an economic way to bottle my wines. Runningwolf suggested the Buon Vino Gravity filler. I have concord and pinot noir to bottle. Should I use clear bottles for the concord and green for the pinot? How do I know what cork sizes to get? What's a good, cheap corker? Thanks in...

What if, instead of water, tea was substituted in the process? Is it feasible, and would it taste much like a "hard Arnold Palmer"? (lol :))

So I've been fermenting some concord grape juice for about a week now. I read in the concentrated juice recipe forum that adding a ripe banana per gallon of juice can help with flavor and haze prevention. Someone who had said they had done just that also remarked that the banana's were...

I made a topic in recipes, but I noticed that the threads there are sorted alphabetically as opposed to date created/replied, and I wonder how often some of these get noticed since recent posts could be "buried". I purchased two cans of Alexander's Sun Country Concentrates for $19.99 each...

My girlfriend is a big fan of Pinot Noir, and as a result I decided to go ahead and purchase some concentrated juice. I purchased two cans of Alexander's Sun Country Concentrates for $19.99 each while I was buying a few more supplies from Midwest Supplies: First, does anyone have a...

Would it be possible to eliminate some airspace in a carboy with a balloon? Blow the balloon up inside the carboy, and bring the end past the stopper to secure it to the top of the container. I initially thought that it would probably block the neck of the carboy, preventing the release of...

Been scouring your forum for a little while now, and finally decided it was time to register. This place has a lot of recipes and information to look over, I look forward to learning more each day from this community. Just started making wine recently, experimenting with the juice...
