I only make one gallon wines due to weight of larger quantities, that I can not do. What do y'all suggest as the best degassing of one gallons? Also when is the best time to degas? Carolyn

I have 3 totally different questions: 1. I have been offered free peaches that have been frozen whole and unpeeled for a year. They are in plastic bags, like you get at the grocery. What's y'all's opinions on this as well as the freezer time frame for any fresh fruits? I don't want to waste my...

I have noticed a lot of rhubarb recipes and some winning medals. I'm not sure I know what it is. I think it looks like celery but is dark pink. What does it taste like, veggie or fruit...sweet or bitter. I've never noticed it in the grocery store. I live in Mississippi and its little known. But...

Do y'all peel your peaches and/or remove the darker middles where the stone was? I've read several ways but I want some real advice from ones who have had trials and errors. They are frozen now. Also, I've read to use a slow yeast. True?

I've never met a red that I like. That isn't saying much as I've only tried a few. Merlot and Cab is what I remember and they were just standard bar wines. I tend to like a little sweetness to my taste. Obviously, I don't really know how to enjoy it and pick out different flavors in it. So, your...

My a/c went out and I had to move 2 gallons of wine to the fridge. One of them is in its last rack and the other is on 3rd rack and still really cloudy and I had added sparkaloid 2 days earlier. Do I take them out now and continue on or will they need to live their life cold, in the fridge?

I bought Sunny D Chillers in Cherry Lime. Any ideas this would/could be a wine? Fairly new in this hobby/addiction and I've read that if things have a certain ingredient in them, not to use it. I can't remember the ingredient so could someone share that. If it won't make wine I'll just pour some...

I'm Carolyn from Mississippi. I have successfully made 3 gallons of wine and am afraid I'm addicted. The only downfall to making my own is that I have to mop a lot and wipe the counters as well as my hands, a lot. I started out a few years back with the concentrate and in a year it was...
