Hello all, my name is eddie and I have been making wine for a while but not very scientific. I just put some black berries and sugar and water in a big churn, threw in some yeast and let it go for about three weeks or so and then strained out the berries and added more sugar and let it work more and then poured it through a cheese cloth and bottled it. Course the corks blew out and I had to recork it. I was telling Bill B about it (he is a friend and belongs to this forum) and he explained that what I made was not wine. Course I did not agree with him cause it had a kick and was sweet to drink and it was made the "old fashioned way" I have a lot to learn and I am looking forward to talking with some great wine makers and learning your secrets. If you refer to me as that dumb ol Ga boy I won't get mad cause I am dumb about wine making
