Quite enlightening, I liked the taste.

(Allegedly) When I was working over in japan I came across a store there that sold some wine that I came to like a lot, from time to time I (Allegedly) would send sever cases home over time marked as "Bath soap".

You mean SIUC?

I remember frequenting the Pinch penny many a night in college...

I am glad to hear the experiment turned out in a success. I am interested in trying it next year.

I have used Milky spore, the key thing to remember is, unless every one uses it in the area it wont be very effective.

I had them for a time, as I don't have any idea how to get rid of them effectively I have been using 7 to deal with them.

Another wine type that I would like to try as I have quite a number that came out this year. I will be watching intently on this one as well.

That is a long time to wait to see if a batch is good to go or not...

Perhaps you should try it at various stages of the year ( leaf bloom, mid season, end of season pre browning). I suppose you will make a "tea" with the leaves, add some sugar and other odds and ends then ferment. A spin to win.

God speed on your endeavor! I have a decent way to hull them, and have grandpas goody grabber for shelling them, its more along the lines of still time consuming as I still have two gunny sacks full of nuts that need shelled.

Not sure about the leaves but I know the hull were used to de worm pigs, we would boil the husks in water and dye our traps in the tea when I was a kid. As for consuming the leaves it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

I have only lived in this area for around 3ish years and so I have been busy building my family. now I am completed with that task I am planning on looking Grape & Granary and I will add Vine n Hop into the need to go see list as well.

Welcome, You live near Akron? I am over by Fairlawn.

I would have to say that it had a very flowery taste. As for the octane I would say that it did the job.
