I'm back!! Got away from winemaking for awhile. I'm down to about 50 bottles of various flavors so I now have a batch of chokecherry, apple, grape clearing. I also have a batch of wild plum I'm waiting for clearing

Just don't get the stuff you bring out from the cave mixed with your wine!!!:s

I have made chokecherry wine using the recipe that Wade posted. I, too am familiar with the very nice lady he is referring to. I'm from northern Wisconsin and chokecherries are plentiful usually. I have found that the wild chokecherries are rather harsh tasting. If we get lots of rain they...

Great thread! Glad I ran into it:br

Thank You. I think!!!! Barney:tz

Hope you guys had fun changing from Appleman to Grapeman!! It took me awhile just to get on this forum let alone messing with graphics!! So I'm happy to be here again with my "Wino" friends and making new friends

I've been trying to do that but haven't had any success (computer illiterate)! I guess I'll have to have Rich (or you) do it for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did add K-meta when I added the other ingredients before I left. I added more (1/4 tsp) when it was done fermemting. I added sorbate after filtering and it is now bulk aging in the carboy!

I have searched and searched for picture of a whole house filter setup! What type of filter do you use and what micron?

I think I'll use a steam juicer this year if there enough plums. The plums I use are growing wild in my neighbor's abandoned farm field. Last year was a good year and I got the plums before the bears did. I have to race the black bear for plums and choke cherries!
