Yeah I actually found them last night. Setup a reminder in my phone for august to see what they will be selling.

Anyone know of any vinyards that sell grapes or juice in southwest michigan?

I have a White Grape Peach Wine thats been going for about a month, OG of 1.096, racked to secondary after a week at 1.02 and 1.005 after 2 weeks, week later right at 1.005 still. was going to be a sweet wine. should I let it sit longer? or would racking and stablizing be a good idea right...

Yeah I think I saw that but its apple based, so not the real thing.

Pretty good. The recipe I used wasn't really skeeter pee. Was a tart wine with some cherry aroma. The slurry was a Amazon Zinfandel blush kit I added 1 lb of raisens to that I kept with the slurry. The raisins from the slurry gave it some nice body Did end up back sweetening with 1 bottle of...

Here is one of the houses http://kalamazoo.michiganhomeownership.org/property/1021-n-rose This area is more of a thin out. 50 percent of the homes are new on the road. Some of the area was converted to a very nice looking park and a new expansion of the "family health center". Its about 3...

So in a dilemma. Been house shopping for about a month or two in the Kalamazoo area. Mainly was lookin for a countryish house. This weekend I happened across a program kzoo is doing they torr done 50+ homes in a niehborhood that was heading south. And built some parks new public buildings...

so saw this on amazon today http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BCD2OG/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 if my math is correct 15g per tablespoon works out to equiv of 6lb of sugar for both bottles. using that guesstimate here is a sort of margarita pee this is 3 gallons 65ish oz of Amber...

that is awesome...definatly going to remember this when I build a wine rack when I move

I always just have 3 bottles of lemon juice on hand and wife bakes a lot so always have lots of cane sugar around. Whenever I have a wine that had a nice healthy ferment and I think would taste good as a base I start a batch of skeeter. My batch I started yesterday was on the slurry of a...

I usually start mine with 1 bottle of lemon then day 2 add 2nd with nutrients then day 5 or so add the last. Works well for me. But to be honest never had a stuck ferment in my 5 batches of skeeter pee ( 3 original 2 blends of something else)

I'm liking the black cherry concord idea...I did a pretty strong concord grape wine (3 cans concentrate for a gallon then SG to 1.1). I actually really liked the Concord flavors...I drank it young after a month in the bottle...and kinda miss it wish I did more and took notes lol. I have a...

I love skeeterpee, I like that its super cheap and fast to make (both in actual prep and finished product) is there any more I dunno Cooler weather wines that are simlar I can try? (something that isn't a summery as lemon lol)

Oh I know it won't be the same. Not looking to clone just looking for the style I guess.

Thinking of trying a non kit mist style wine since wife loves them but I think for what they are I could prolly reproduce something better for cheaper. Her favorite is a black raspberry merlot, done semisweet (bit over half fpac was added during primary) Thinking a possible recipe could be...

So far so good. Clearing right now. Nice blush look to it. Originally thought I added to much lime but i took a sample last night and it doesn't seem near as acidic. Not as much cherry flavor as I hoped. Might pick up some cherry juice and make an fpac to sweeten.

Started this yesterday on the slurry from the white zif. Put in the 4x48oz bottles of cherry juice, filled up the bucket to 4 gallons with room temp water and dumped in 7lb of surgar or so stored it up real good then added 2x15oz of lime juice. Fermenting hard as of this morning, planning...

This will be my 4th batch of skeeterpee and wanted to try something new with it. Picked up 4 48oz bottles of Montgomery Cherry Juice at the grocery store last night ( only non blended cherry juice they had) also got 3 16oz bottles of lime juice, from what I read lime is more acidic so I think...

another thought I just had reading over some other threads on these kits. I just relized I only have 2 5 gallon carboys and a few 1 gallon, my buckets are all 6.5 which should be fine. don't really have it in the budget. to get some 6.5 better bottles right now. I have a couple 1 gallons...
