The black cherry is very present. It has a smooth flavor similar to concord with the black cherry highlight. My sg is fairly sweet, about 1.01 but the grape is still there. Not very good at describing but I know I like it .

It is one of my favorites and everyone that samples it is impressed. I have made 3 and will continue to make this one. It is simple,tastes great, and is not rocket fuel.

They don't eat or bite. They will mate, lay their eggs in the small end branches of trees, make a hell of a lot of noise, and die. The bitten tree branches usually die, fall off, and put the eggs on the ground where the new bugs live underground for 17 years, then do it all again.

The Dayton trap shoot was the Grand American and it was huge and wonderful. It has been relocated to Indiana or Ill. Too far for me to go so I don't know which state. Bet it is still huge.

Keep up the good work Grandpa. We need the youth to carry on the torch of freedom.

Two and a half to 3 hrs. should get you there from Akron using 76 to turnpike to Rt8, then cross country. I'll be there this Sat to see family. Mansfield to there about 3 and a few min. depending on orange barrels. ****

Get the bottling attachment at the same time. You won't regret it. My buon vino unit is parked.

If you have a vacuum pump, just slip a hose from the pump(on of course) over the hydrometer shaft and lift it out. YO

That was one of those Pyrex glass cups. Also lost numbers on two small glasses. Maybe we can use the stuff as paint remover. I usually make a gallon at a time and use the left over meta from the sanitizer pump in a small bucket with lid. There is only an inch or so in it but the cup was...

Thought I would post this so it won't happen to you. I have been keeping my small equipment ( hydrometer, thief,airlocks, carboy caps---you get the idea) in a bucket with K-Meta. This avoids all the sanitizing for each use, like the corkidore. Well, when you add your measuring cup the meta...

Vac pump sale FWIW Harbor Freight sent a sale flier and it has their $110 vac pump on sale for $80. Plus there is an added 15% discount on top of that. I think it is the same one Running Wolf posted in pictures of his set-up. YO

Can I use prune juice to make an F Pak for a plum wine that needs a color and flavor boost? I can't locate any kind of plum juice to try.

One Newbie to another. Ashland has a pretty good wine and supplies store at Mitchell Orchards. Grape and Grain in Akron has many supplies and equipment, and sells online. Small shop in Mansfield(home) at Hursch Drug Store but not really well stocked. Forgot about the hardware store in...

Thanks, I didn't think they would put any thing unhealthy in the product.
