Not sure exactly, I can check later, but it's the usual stuff used in wine and beer making. A fair amount of it, although some may be old. Where are you in NJ?

Hard to believe no one has grabbed this stuff. Retail value is around $700. I need to get it out of here. How about $200? Offer me something in trade?

Well this stuff is all still available. If no one grabs it soon I guess I'll put it on craigslist.

Thanks, Steve. I'll give you a call.

Been a while since I've been on this forum, howdy folks. I've decided to scale down my winemaking, so I'm unloading a bunch of stuff. I have: * 6 five gallon carboys (five with handles) * 2 three gallon carboys * 1 Ferrari floor corker (best $80 I ever spent on wine making) * 1 complete...

I would like the full statistical mechanical treatment. Can I get that with a Béarnaise?

Further question - how to do do it? I've done something like it with beers with a corny keg, where you can force it with gas (there, with beer, you use CO2), and bleed it off with the valve to get out the oxygen, then fill it again. But how do you do it with wine?

Do you happen to have the missing 18 1/2 minutes?

I bottled 15 bottles Sunday and I swear it didn't take 10 minutes. And that includes corking.

That's good to hear. In NY, most lawyers don't charge for an initial consultation (it's considered part of your marketing, more or less). But it is pretty much universal here that matrimonial lawyers do. My wife is a matrimonial lawyer (yeah, you think you have troubles...). The deal is...

It's easy to say, and a lot harder to actually confront - but, Julie is right, see a lawyer. You will likely have to pay for an hour's consultation. But you could learn a lot. I don't know laws there, but in most states one parent cannot simply take a minor child and leave the state. I think...

Wow, dralarms, I'm jealous! I've just added "wine making room" to the functions served by my home office/bar/library/music room/hangout. Still working on it, but I built a shelf system basically using dimensions that would accommodate the AIO. I want to add a PVC tube about 6 inches tall...

I'm making fun of me, too. (But you can keep Canada... NY is cold enough. Plus, we don't think we're part of France.) (Ha ha.)

Just to follow up, and further demonstrate my own stupidity... this morning, The Blob was completely gone (melted). I ran the juice through a strainer and got a small amount of solids from the blueberries. Added a wee bit of sulfite and pectic enzyme, and set the jug aside for use for topping...

Um... well, I may have somewhat freaked out over nothing here. This jug was in one of the refrigerators in my bar, and it was up close to the freezer section... and it may just be that it froze. I tried to pour it into another jug, and it's too frozen. Hm. Letting it thaw now. We'll see....
