:a1 If I bottle wine in the flip top beer bottles, can I bottle my wine with out completely degassing, say 50%. Would this make it like champagne? We like to mix bubbly wines with sherbet ice cream on hot summer nights on the back deck.

Brought the sippin jug in off the back porch last night. It was only 7 deg. and it was getting slushie. Woke up this morning, it was -17 here in SE Ohio (Zanesville)

:u Just bottled our first batch of wine today (Island Mist). A one gallon jug of go to wine, on the back porch and 24 bottles for friends and wine tasting parties.

Under what circumstances do you wax your wine corks? Does anyone wax seal their wine bottles? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9uZqDqSoMw

Ok. We will go with the screw caps, just in case a bottle should last longer than 30 or 40 days, or did not get finished on the first go around.

Diet? If I use artificial sweeteners to make pop with, will it be like a diet or low cal pop?

I guess I should have been more clear. I meant artificial sweeteners.

My wife’s mother used to put her cucumbers in the washing machine for a cycle to clean them and knock off the little spines before she pickled them.

Alternative carboy Bought a 4gal water bottle from Sam’s Club (the kind you turn upside down) for under $5 and used it and the water in it to make my root beer.

Is it best to just stick with real sugar? Bought sugar for my batch of root beer. One 4lb bag was $3.89 and the one I purchased was $1.99 for 4lbs. Both bags said the ingredients was sugar. Is there a difference? Thanks CNM

Thinking of using a fruity homemade wine instead of water when making a batch of cream soda or lemon-lime pop. I will then bottle it in used 16oz water bottles. Kind of like a wine cooler. Any suggestions on ratios?

Sounds good. Maybe admin will change it for me Most of the other sites have a section for root beer and pop making. I though maybe you did not want pop and other off topic items on your site so I used “off topic” hoping not to get into to trouble.
