SO.... How goes the Watermellon? I have the earge to make some, now that summer is finally in the PNW!! The negative note I have read are making me a little leary..

my carboy has its own convection going right now!! Down the front and up the back...and there is a cloud of bubbles on the surface near the back of the carboy!! Looks really cool, wish I could get a vid of it! Think this is because it is my primary ferment.

Now you see what fermenting wine does to people....do you want to be like the rest of them!?!?!?!

so long as you can Accurately read the numbers.... I suppose you can do it. I did my first readings in the ferment bucket!! Now I have a Thief and a Cylinder.

I like the AC unit idea Wade. My neighbors already think I'm nuts!! Wonder what they'd say when they see me running AC in the winter!!

the Super Kleen is AWSOME!!!!!:try You may be able to use a needle and syringe to measure out the correct dosage for smaller or multi batches.

ya I started it on 8/26/10! the recipe said to let it sit for 2wks rack and sit for another wk, then bottle and age for 3 months. I was told this would teach me patients:) Unfortunately I won't realize my mistakes for 3-6 months from now!!
