Continual use of Acetaminophen and alcohol has been shown to increase your chances of kidney issues. I don't think there is any evidence that occasional use is going to be a problem.

Ditto. Came out really well. We cut lemon to 32 oz and used 9 lbs of fruit

Mine is 1 month into bulk aging. I was surprised at how quickly it was progressing. I have noticed that Shiraz tends to age quickly however my limited experience with Malbec has been the opposite.

I have some now at the 6 month mark and I would not call it drinkable right now. I did do mine by the book. My personal experience has been that the Shiraz 10 liter kits (WE) have been the quickest that were drinkable.

Welcome to the boards! I am surprised that someone from Texas would call Columbus to Kent a road trip :) Seriously, check out Label Peelers.

Time is your friend. Let it sit at least the minimum time as stated in your kits instructions. Tim

It is best NOT to rinse the start-san. It breaks down into organic molecules once in contact with your wine so there is no need to rinse. Rinsing increases the chances of infection. Tim

That has become one of my favorites as well.

Welcome! It' good have some more Ohio people here!

Its amazing all the knowledge on this board...and we still can't figure out where the wine is going. :)

Seriously? Are they making you drink wine made from Welch's? :D

I would just like to thank sour grapes for ruining the possibility of NASA ever using a wine propelled satellite :)

Looks more like Steam Punk to me (which I like)

We are a joint effort as well. This is one of the few hobbies my wife and I have found that we both enjoy. It has brought us closer together and strengthened our relationship. Last night we tested some Luna Rosa out of the carboy (not ready...bummer) and tonight we are bottling DDDB tropical...

So sorry for your loss John. Tim
