No No No. That is his real address!! Lots of people make that mistake. Wish I could make it !!

The furniture movers look like a great idea. I would be afraid of the reostat on an unknown motor. I work with motors every day and that is one of the best ways to blowa motor that is not madeforreduced power.

I would use a water bottle to transport juice.I would even use one to make wine in to see if I wanted to get into the wine making hobby ( I did )I would not use the same one twice and I would not bulk age in it. I think that the better bottles are great!!! Just not better unless they are...

ttortorice , Ithink you have the best top off technique Hey Wade, I need more info on how I can rack your wine into my carboy. I had a delta. It woked OK. Every time a chunk of wood from the router got in it it bent the impeller plate. I ended up welding the tops of the blades together . Then...

I useda water bottle on my very first wine. I still have 6 bottles of 3 year old plastic cranberry wine. I did learn that I do not want a better bottle. Every time I moved the thing it sucked the vodka out of the airlock. And I learned that if you use a better bottle you better use vodka...

I like this one. <UL> <LI>1 gallon apple juice (or 16 pounds apples) <LI>1 cup granulated sugar <LI>1/2 teaspoon yeast energizer <LI>1 1/2 teaspoon acid blend <LI>1/2 teaspoon pectic enzyme <LI>1 campden tablet <LI>1 package champagne yeast (for 1 to 5 gallons) </LI>[/list]...
