Joan, Joan, Joan, Of course, aDUCK can bePope! Everyone knows that aCARDINAL can be pope, therefore, a DUCKcan bepope? No discrimination among the bird flock. I would be greatful for any suggestions that you might have about how to attain that high office. St. Glenimus

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MY FRIENDS! I could supply a list ofmy positive charactieristics that you could choose from if you want to step it up a notch. (After all, a man who aspires to be Pope shouldbe proactive in helping the masses come up with the proper praise and adulation.)...

I am back! I must toot my own horn. I (St. Glenimus) took second place in the 2006 Colorado State Fair hobby wine competition, Syraz category with theWineExpert Australian Shiraz kit. Could I get some genuine heartfelt kudos from you old time forum members -- new members are welcome...

Thanks once again to both of you gentlemen. I had my reply and my next question all typed out and I think I lost it, so I will try again. Will try not to make it so boring this time! --- Bill, the sugar.I think I understand what you do and I think I can use your technique. You are using...

Thank you very muchBilbo andMasta, Still, I think I ammissing something .... probably something simple, but just not getting inside my head. -- If you put ingredients into the primary and add water to the six gallon mark, won't you be over six gallons when you add the sugar? You would...

Glenimus here. Morning everyone. I hope this is the right place for this question, but if it fits better elsewhere, meaning I might get a better answer -- Naw! How would that bepossible? Ihave done two kit wines and will start my third one tomorrow, but I am considering makeing a wine...

Sebastian, It is so amazing that that just a couple of months ago, I had all the same questions as you have now. I just bottled my second batch (Reisling) and will start my third batch on Saturday. I AM HOOKED and I am certain that you will be too. Things that I learned: (1) This forum...

Martina, If I continue this addiction, I am sure that I will do some unconventional things too, but for now I am blown away by the clarity of your explanation -- as well as your wine. Perhaps I went a little far in saying that I worship you (after all I in the running forsainthood), but...

Glenimus here, Wow! I am so impressed. I am new at this and working on my first batch (Red Zinfindel) just following the directions like a good soldier. Martina, I see you name often, andnowI worship you!

Thank you all so very much. I practiced some this afternoon and learned a few things. These being: 1. Not all bottles are created equal. 2. Getting up above the corker was a great suggestion. I was trying to make love to the corker instead of showing it who was boss inthese here parts...

Princess, I will be using a two handled corker that has no adjustments of any kind. When I practice I am unable to get the top of the cork level with the top of the bottle. Should I cut the cork off flush with the top of the bottle? I do want to use theheat shrink cover thingies. ("Thingy"...

Thanks, Bill. I learned a new term - ullage space. However, k-meta is not something that I know about. Well ... maybe it isshort for potassium metabisulfite ... wow, if k is not the periodic symbol for potassium I am going to be very embarrassed. Have you noticed that learning the lingo...

Glenimus here, New member, new wine maker. I will be corking soon. Somewhere in this forum (I cannot remember where) I read about the corks getting all bent out of shape. Someonewrote that it had something to do with how full the bottle was.Does anyone haveadvice onhow full to fill the...
