I can't release that information. All I can say is that I live near thousands of acres of National Forest.... He's at work. He doesn't even know it happened... I know it was an accident but that was 3 years of planning and hard work :(

Grammar also saves lives... Let's eat, Grandma! Let's eat Grandma!

Today we played taps, had a moment of silence, and a funeral... My husband and his friend were, apparently, in the wine storage area last weekend and were trying the strawberry / watermelon wine that I have been bulk aging (that was to be bottled this weekend). Well, when I went to check on my...

It wasn't too bad here today. Sadly, I was stuck inside doing paperwork :(

Gee, Ted... I feel bad for your predicament... It must be really awful to have to go to France or California... *Shivering in the east coast*

MY KEG CAME TODAY!! I can't do anything with it quite yet... but... IT'S HERE!!! and 3 more kits to fiddle with. Racked the Riesling & Apple/Riesling to secondaries and bottled the pinot noir so I had room in a 6 gallon carboy. I swear I had more 6's... I think the 6s had a baby. Is that where...

They are actually partnering with Oscar Mayer. Imagine all the employees trying to keep a straight face when asking "Would you like to King size your wienie?"

I have never made beer or cider. I have been looking into it this week after a trip to my local homebrew shop. I have read lots of posts about what to do and then it gets contradicted in another post. I'm wondering how you cool the wort down after boiling (do I really need a bunch of extra...

I could probably be convinced to buy a bucket of red on pickup day. What do you recommend from there? (I have 5 whites and a blush in que to do so I want a red this spring).

Snow (uh... I mean "ice" day for us here). I have a house full of unruly children who are currently being distracted by Disney Jr and their Kindles. Set the hoodlums up in the den and was able to transfer the peach ice over and start apple/reisling. One of the kids has been sitting watching the...
