Does anyone have a personal wine making website to show off what you are working on, your wine making set up, etc? Would love to see it if you have it.

Just finished ordering a few labels for some of my wine I am finishing (I think designing labels is harder then making wine). Anyway, had a good idea too add to my next label order that I failed to do on this one. at the bottom of the label, add a small footnote saying: RECYCLE: please...

Needed some good listening material for the plane ride on my recent trip to Turkes. Found some great Podcast on iTunes that Jordan Winery put out on all aspects of their winery, wine making, corking, barreling, etc. Worth checking out.

Thanks, I cant see how dried raisins would have any effect initially as it should take a while for them to rehydrate and start breaking down. Dont have the directions in front of me, but I was at 1.10 at stage 1

Curious as to why some kits have your sprinkle the yeast on top and not mix in, while others have your stir it in gently?

Just bought a Rojo Encantando with Raisins. Realized I added the raisins during the initial fermentation when it said wait 24hrs after adding Yeast. What problems can i expect if any? Was gonna try and scoop them out but they were all at the bottom (and I was too tired).

I just started my 10th and 11th Kit. I must say there is a huge difference in the way the directions are written. Most are fairly straight forward and easy to read, but some... geeeez, you have to read through them 4 times and 3 steps ahead to follow them... and I was SOBER. These...

Been at this for about a month now and have 9 kits going and one beer kit. Getting overwhelmed & confused at keeping track of my schedule for each step of the process. I have been documenting everything in a log book and finally got a Calendar to hang up. Haven't really screwed...

Do reds show more fermenting then white wines? Started my first batch of a Green Apple Riesling 3 days ago. I have to check the sg vs when I started but there doesn't seem to be as much excitement in the pail as there were with my red wines. As long as my sg is dropping, I assume it means...

I just racked from my primary to secondary. Do I need to top up the carboy at all during the process? there is no mention of it in the DB Owners Manual ;)

Downloaded and printed. Very helpful. Thanks Danger!

I made it from a slurry. And tossed it already. Thanks for the replies. Just wanted to make sure i wasnt throwing good slurry away.

Is it worth saving the slurry from my primary of a skeeter pee? Or is sloppy seconds not worth anything?

Was at the deli today and saw a bunch of Snapple bottles lined up in the fridge all with different colors and flavors. Looked like some pics of SP/DG I have seen on this forum. Too bad we couldn't reuse them somehow.

Mountaineer, the little back support came with them. Got the rack used (and FREE) There is a second there but I need a few more black locking things. The support comes in handy. And I agree, I have to put something between the carboys and the towel in the neck, just have not gotten around to...

Good to know that is normal foam. You should hear them fermenting. I cant believe how loud it is inside those buckets. I just hope all that crap on top settles to the bottom before I rack to my carboy, otherwise I will have a mess on my hands.

Those empty carboys are thirsty waiting for the primaries to be ready any day now. Those in the plastic wrap are empty too waiting for a fresh brew. Have a few more packages in the garage but will need to get some more bottles once the 8 primaries and carboys finish up over the next few...

Here is my bulldog. Just over 1 year old. This is how he sleeps. I think he wants to be in a dog porno. lol Halloween

Here are some pics of my 3 DB variations brewing. Got a Triple Berry, Quad Berry and Tropical Blend brewing. Smells awesome. Hopefully this is what it is supposed to look like. :br:? and my set up

Have my first batch brewing. What are your preferences on bottling and drinking? Wine Bottles or Beer Bottles or other? Having a hard time deciding which way to go
