I’m new too

HI everyone!


I'm in Louisiana & started making wine a year ago. Make it with wild muscadine, by the gallon.


Bannock, I use a rubber glove instead of a balloon as a stopper on the gallon jug.


Welcome

bj4271,


Welcome and make yourself at home. Where do you get your muscadines from?

Welcome Bruce...glad to have you aboard!

 

[bj4271]

PCOOK - they're wild on my property. Sometimes I can get them (mostly scuppernongs) in local grocery stores. After August, they're almost impossible to get.

bj4271,


How fortunate to have fresh muscadines growing on your own property. We had some vines growing on the creek bank in Ky when I was a kid, but I haven't seen them growing anywhere in many years!

(Watch these guys, BJ - When I signed in, they tried to tell me that my first two bottles had to go in for "taste testing...")

Seriously, as a new guy, don't hesitate to ask George about anything -- he's unique in that he really wants you to succeed and "cares for the customer." I'm VERY pleased! And, for the forum group, the "two bottles" might be worth it -- I've already found a lot of super info in the various topics, even postings months old. What's really great is how all these folks share their experiences and share their expetise-- they want us to succeed too!


Good luck!

I saw where they told you that OilnH2O, but I've been using gallon jugs instead of 750s - I'd really be in trouble taste testing 2 of them.





Seriously, thanks everyone for the welcomes.
