Please Pick me!!

Thank you all for the kindness. I finally bottled. I still need more primaries and carboys..my reserves are getting low. I need to get on this. I met with my older daughters case manager and was told to take me time, have date nights etc. I'm a level 10,000 expert on withdrawing and just...

According to the email I'm MIA. So here's the good: I made jam and successfully canned it for the first time ever, even picked the strawberries myself. I grew some awesome peppers and made us a few years worth of hot sauce ranging from mild jalapeño to super hot habanero. The bad...

Does a double wide trailer count?

So I have to thank Dave. I'm sitting here sipping my 3rd not a kit wine (it's my night time) and it all started with DB. Then I moved on to skeeter pee, made a concord, fortified some and started another batch of skeeter pee, after this will be another DB and we'll see from there. Had I never...

I have Moscato... hmmm However I do need to run another batch of that, since the Moscato went very quickly. I'm also going to third on Label peelers, I've been ordering a lot from them, they have better prices than the local places here so when I'm getting a bunch of stuff I've been going...

Question for those that have the vinator, what sanitizer do you use? I normally use star San but I'm wondering if that's not going to foam up too much.

That's not my point, however. Since I do my deed in the dining room, the floor or the worry of doing damage to the floor has been a concern. Just so happens that the queen of the house is graduating from a highchair to the table like the rest of us. I was about to throw away her Floor mat...

My mother's day gifts. I'm so excited!! I tried to talk him into unbottling so I could filter :i

After two + months of antibiotic therapy, hellacious infections and idk what else, ok I do.. I have a special needs (mental, not physical) child, new job, old job, in the hospital myself (I blame stress for the most part), I can finally relax a tiny bit. I can finally drink some wine and relax...

Dragon blood :n

I am so excited to say I FINALLY CAN DRINK! That means I finally get to taste my DB that I bottled 3 weeks ago! I've given away quite a few bottles taste unknown and gotten compliments on it. Now I know. I have to say it is a bit like a sangria, now I used a quad berry, I find the blackberry...

Bottled last night, looks beautiful, great color! Still no idea the taste, but hubs approved.

I ended up here and making it because of being told it was like a sangria, that's my kind of wine, I like the sweet but not sickening sweet wine. I'd say fruit wine, now mind you I haven't tasted it sweetened & finished, only along the way. Unsweetened a friend compared it to a red he had...

Well my wine is looking quite beautiful, I sweetened today, but I won't get to taste for several weeks due to illness and alcohol not mixing well with the medication I'm on for it.. :( I was told it was sweetened well. Bottling in a week, then I'll finally taste it in three..skeeter pee...

I used less lemon (the large bottles here are smaller) and 3 cups more sugar to get the SG to 1.075 at the beginning. My worry is if my one wine tasted horrible before it was finished but tasted great finished, but this one tastes great before it is finished will it stay good.. I should...

So this is my first from scratch wine. I had to man up & taste it because a beer brewing friend asked if I did and the answer was no, I had tasted early on a kit and it scared me...so curiosity got the better of me and I tasted it.. OMG it was WONDERFUL. I'm at 1.050 today, how much is this...

Awesome! I know Seven Valleys and Glen Rock, used to work down there. I really want to make it down to ORD in the near future.

Thanks all. Hopefully starting DB tomorrow, then onto skeeter pee and then maybe revisiting my first kit. I need more equipment ;-) Runningwolf, as Julie said, I'm in York, but I'm a she. Mom of three, nurse by night (11-7), chief cook, brewer & bottle washer, but hubs does the corking...

Perusing through the Dragon blood recipe mega thread I saw quite a few PA folks, happy to say here's one more. I am really new to wine making, 2 kits in and about to start some Dragon Blood, already looking to expand things lol. :b
