Thank you afsee, actually, it was my weak wrist that was the problem. The lid fits. My hubby got the lid on and yesterday i happened to find a lid remover that will help me tremendously in getting it back off, i looked in there yesterday and when i went to put the lid back on it went on a...

Fermenter lid I have the Midwest Supplies, 6 gallon kit bucket. the lid doesn't screw on it doesn't hammer on. Does it need to be sealed tightly? I can't get the thing to connect... Help please.... Ok, nevermind. my wrists make it hard to do much heavy lifting or work that involves any...

Thank you guys for this great sticky. I have made wine before, with alot of help and this was the first time I am making this on my own. You have really helped me to not be afraid of the hydrometer! Hugs!

Thats what my boss says too! Im getting excited again. I need to do alot of reading here too before my stuff comes!

Midwest supply Midwest Supply Is pretty close to me although not close enough to make a random trip. I found a nice set there and I ordered some island mist Strawberry to try for my first kit since I want cheap and easy for the first time doing it on my own. Thank you all for your ideas and...

Im so sorry, i didn't give you guys very much to go on. I did a 6 gallon kit and would continue doing that until i am comfortable enough to go on to make my own. So i am thinking a 7+ gallon fermentor and a 6 gallon caboy...

So I made wine at my bosses house with his equipment. He has basic equipment. The only thing I have so far is bottles that I have saved and cleaned. Does anyone know of a place to buy a good basic kit. I don't want to spend tons but i don't want to buy junk either. I know I don't want the...

Thanks everyone i appreciate your nice responses. Yes, the top will be storage, since we were missing everything except the turntable, we gutted it and put felt down. There with be a place for cork screws and bottle toppers and other little things. It holds 22 bottles, looks like i better...

I know this post is old but i did the niagra mist blueberry pomigranite merlot. It turned out really nice.

Thank you all.

Almost done. The wood was bad in spots so rather than sand it down and staining it we sanded it and repainted it a glossy black. The doors seem to be haunted. It has been one crazy thing after another, this will be the 2nd time we have had to sand and paint the doors and the lid. Will post...

Old record player getting a facelift into a wine, glass ware cabinet. Will post finished pics when it gets all done.

Good idea... We don't know what kind of wood yet. My hubby is very handy so he can do most anything. The finish is painted in black, it needs sanded down and either refinished or painted. You can see where there are some really big drip areas so the last painter did a kind of crappy job. I...

Hi guys, So we found one of those old record players with a cabinet, you know, the kind that you crank up on the side. We found it in an antique store in Walnut Iowa. Bottom 1/3 has a cupboard with doors then above that is where the old speaker was, we will have to take that out and the top...

OMG, i see all this with these big lists. I am a total newbie, but right now i am making a blueberry pomigranite white merlow kit. I have a great mentor who is teaching me and having me taste different steps so i can see how the wine is changing. In 3 weeks i will be bottling it!

Yes i agree! My boss was a teacher before he became a banker so I think i couldn't have found a better situation! Tonight we are going to start the kit. It is from ECKraus.com and it is called Niagra mist: Bluepom White Merlot. I thought it was especially nice that he suggested I use his...

My name is Shelly and i am a complete newbie. I don't even know what type of wine is what. So i am looking forward to learning alot from everyone. My boss is a home wine maker and has won awards for his wine. He has been generous enough to offer his basement wine making room and his...
