captainl Going to check on my muscadines this weekend. Last time I checked they were still way green. How many pounds were you needing?

I soak mine in a cooler with oxyclean for about 6 hours. I then use a scraper that has a razor blade in it. The tougher ones get soaked a little longer and that usually does the trick. I have noticed that the more expensive the wine the harder it is to get the label off.

Hi Mike I live in Houston also and have been watching some muscadines that I'm going to do. They are not ready to pick yet. Good luck with your wine. CC

Wish we had basements in Texas.

Working on my first attempt at SP. Used a slurry from Strawberry that I started to use in the pee. Looking forward to this.

I'm fairly new to this hobby and the problem has been getting enough bottles without having to buy them. I work for a city and this week I realized we have a recycling facility.:slp Talked to the guy in charge of it and he told me they get tons of wine bottles. Problem solved.

I'm sure things have changed alot.

I hope the Gin is better than the Dripping Springs Vodka.

Can only buy beer or wine here on Sunday. No hard stuff.

My exact thoughts.

I didn't save the slurry but I think I saw on here where some have made a starter for the SP. SP was something I was considering since it sounds like it is a quick drinker. I need to do some more searching on the process for a starter. CC
