Thanks for the help, Sara and James And Sara...I'll contact you when I get back to the States, with your cuttings, and seeds. (If they don't get confiscated)

Mango Wine Stuff... When making a mango wine, using canned mango, would it be a good idea to put the mango pulp in a fine weave strainer/bag? Would there be less pulp in solution? Thanks, jim

Hey, Jim Maybe you could talk those Peterson brothers into getting rid of the corn and wheat, and putting in grape vines...?

I checked them out; good prices. Thanks

I was really glad to see your posts on mulberry wine. A few years ago, I sweet-talked a lady from Florida, to send me some Black and Pakistan mulberry cuttings. I got all eight to root, and I had one produce a few fruits the first year. Now, they are really taking off, and I have great plans...

Good morning, All I just ran across an ad for Pomegranate Concentrate at Puritan's Pride. 16oz, for 5 to 1 concentrate, with free shipping, (last day) for 12 bucks. I need to know how many 16 oz bottles to make, say one gal wine? This looks like a super good deal to me. Any thoughts/help? jim

Thanks for the help, Dave...

Dragon Blood Stuff... Hi, Guys...I started a batch of D.D. five days ago, and everything is looking good; working away, just like I knew what I was doing. SG is now at 1.028 After I sobered up, I realized I forgot to add the yeast nutrient, in the beginning. Should I forget about it, or...

I came across an old gold mine, that operated in the 30s', in the state of Durango, Mexico, that had trees like yours. The locals said that they were "lima"; some cross between a limon and something else. I ate a couple, and they were semi sweet. A big farmer there, told me that this was the...

Inquisitive minds want to know... Good morning, Dave...Thanks for all the super info on your Dragon Blood, but I'd like to know if you are drinking the wine warm or chilled. Thanks again
