not to hi jack your thread but my 30 gallon batch strawberry is the most active ive fermented.i used djrockinsteve recipie for a port ,taste good in ferment so may know in a few days. ::::

thanks i understand .i have been having a chamber or a mason jar with a in and out between the vacum pump and the wine usally as i was degassing but omittedso the first batch of pee was half ruined.thanks:slp

guess i will take it out of the basement or crawl space an may be the time to get a old fridge .thanks for the warning wade .

lon its been in 2weeks in a carbouy,its about 68 to 70 here i might start on another batch will try to check and see if i put a pectin or ?

went on and filtered the pee and my filter clogged up so i stopped my vacucum pump and it puked some oil in the clear pee. well a beautiful gold.so got half of it contaminated...the filter works great but i messed it up...thanks for the replys.

thanksgiving eve i bottled 35 bottles of pinot noir kit. minus 2 bottles of test wine put it under my house with my head ache thumping i hope this would be ok just dont wont to loose it would i be better off to put i n a fridge:gn

may not be amazing to the experts on here . the floor corker is the way to go and bought a vintage pressure filter havent used it yet. im going to use my ac robinair vacum pump to try to pull the wine thru instead of psi and any body tryed this way.. could use my argon co2 mix gas and...

my first batch in the carbouy is not clearing.. iused a scuppernong slurry havent tried it yet and degassed. also added fruit pectin. bought a filter system will this help?it looks like consentrate.

it gets better every month. if you wait a year it will be twice the wine it is now, it is like mine it wont make a year too much samples.

grillin is a event now that im making my own wine,cant say why but wine and grillin u dont care as much about eating. skeeter juice maranade.:d

need to add my 2 cents on this on ,i picked some 3 weeks ago and were orange .half were too green they were firm.. old folks said put em in a paper bag or a bag of corn meal to ripen. they turned out great.

im with ya

if you can find the vine ends bury in the ground ti usally takes a root annd separate the next fall we do this with muscadines and scuppernong vines

they might not know what a floggin is:br
