Hey Wade, We were building about 65 boats a week. Now we are down to just 15 to 20 a week. We had to let a lot of our work force go. This coming year does not look too good for next year also. I could see us going down to about 5 to 8 boats a week. Let's hope someone wakes up soon.

Thanks Wade, work seams to keep getting in the way of my wine time.

Hi pbrblue This is a link to a Cranberry I made last year. It came out very good. Hope it will be of some help with yours. One thing I learned was to let it clear for a longggg time. Mine was crystal clear at bottling and still I wound up with some sediment a bit letter...

Looking very good there Touch.

I tend to get a bit busy at work and I am not liking having to scrape off labels that I just put on 9 or 10 days ago. So now my new toy at work came in very handy for my home drinking wine bottles. It is a machine made to make labels to warp around electrical wire. It works very well on bottles...

I have now racked my Mandarin wine for the third time. It has cleared very nicely now. I think I will stabilize and sweeten this one just a bit to bring out the fruit a bit more. Should be ready to bottle soon.

Looking good N.W. Makes me want to start another batch soon.

Happy Birthday Wade! Hope your day goes well.

CornField, What did you use to get the chocolate flaver to the wine? Or was it a kit wine?

I had so much fruit let on the tree a decided to make a seconded batch. <Good reason tobuy another carboy. >Both have now been racked off the levees and campden added to each. In thinking about back sweeten, I am wondering what all you guys use. I would like to use something other then...
