:br Debbie I can't see anything wrong with the original post. Mod or not, if it's something that doesn't interest you...don't click on it. In my opinion it was "wine related" enough. It was really about peoples taste in wine and doesn't really matter if it's home made or commercial. I...

That's just downright rude and uncalled for...what a condescending *** you are.

Mine only lasts one evening...I'm totally convinced that the wine in the bottom of the bottle is the best.

Yes it is, I agree.

I don't think too many do this as it's a pretty unorthodox approach. Most would ferment the kits separate then blend to taste I think. However when I first read the thread, saw the pictures, then communicated with the man, I decided I wanted to take my chances and give it a try. There's no...

A couple of weeks ago on a trip to Dallas, I purchased 4 kits, another CC Orange Muscat, a CC Gruener Veltliner, CC Porto Corinto, and a RJS Orchard Breezin Blackberry Merlot. I started a Orange Muscat two months ago and it sitting in the carboy, stabilized, clear and getting a little age on it...

Exactly correct appleman, even a little of the vapor from 2 4 D will kill and/or severely damage any broad leaf plant including trees, vines, weeds, and ornamentals.

We're headed to Fort Worth/Dallas to run a few errands today. We will stop by The Toy Store to pick up a RJS Blackberry Merlot and CC Porto Corinto which will be blended together. Been wanting to do these two for a while now. I will also get another CC Orange Muscat. I have one in secondary...

Grrrrrrrr, I just thought I was making a reply to your post and instead clicked the "report" button and didn't realize it until it was sent...dangit. Hopefully it won't mess up others posting until one of our Mods can straighten my screw up out. And here is the post I...

quantity or quality?

Meet Risky, our Jack Russell. 15 lbs of endless energy, he will be 3 the end of April. I've owned dogs of all breeds all of my life and this is without question the smartest, most obedient best friend I've ever seen. He's totally house broken and has been since 8 weeks of age. He's with me on...

Really nice, I like the look of your labels...and you can spell Zinfindel however you wanna, it's your wine and your labels. Good job!

It takes a minimum of 10% ABV, some even say 11% or more ABV for the alcohol to be concentrated enough to provide the protection for the wine to keep for any length of time. With a starting SG of 1.080, if it ferments to dry at ~0.995 it will have 11.5% ABV. That's on the safe side of 11% In...

They're small marbles, Dan, maybe 7/16" d. I just drop them in, a nylon sack would work and might be a good idea I've just never done it. These do not sound as though they're dropping very fast in the wine.
