Glad I’m going back to winemaking. Gotta stock up on frozen fruit & juice. Love this forum!

Finally used to rotten egg smell. Down here in hot Fl I spent loads on getting half decent well water. And my Bloods too thin to move back to MS or TN. Love it here tho. Make soap & garden.

Thank you for that! Will add more if it’ll fit. Ha!

You make grape juice wine? I am long time ago wine maker and am just now getting a batch of frozen grape started. Tonight I’m drinking Pacific peak Pinot Grigio from a box. It’s ok for an inexpensive wine. I’m not embarrassed to say, I also add some lime juice and ice. Never get too tipsy 🥴...

I’ll try anything that MAY help grab hold of nasties. I guess Vick’s vapor is ok; Even tallow, lanolin. I make lots of ‘killer’ soap; but it’s not going up my nose.

Thank you for response.
