Hi All, We have not been on in a while, spring is so busy for us. We have bottled lots though, 2 batches of dragon blood one waiting to be sweetened and the same for Skeeter Pee. We have also made a Jet Blue, my husband added the oak chips and I sampled before it was sweetened, just added a...

Bill It has been 9 days for both batches. We just checked second batch today and it is below 1.000 so we will check again and rack as long as it stays steady we will rack in a couple of days.

I will have to ask my husband he kept the log. I will let you know later today.

Bottled our first batch made it to the "T" from your recipe Dave using 3/4 cup of sugar per gallon. It is very very very good!:try The second batch has been started. I am so happy to have found this site, my husband and I have learned so much in just a few months just from browsing.

Thanks for the info Dave. My husband Mark added another dose of pectin enzyme last night. Another thought that Mark had was he thinks he might have done the sparkalloid wrong. He added it to boiling water and stirred it and waited 15 minutes. He realized last night that he should have...

Hi Dave, We are on our first batch of DB. We completed step 4 added the sparkaloid 10 days ago, racked again 3 days ago. It is still quite cloudy. Is there anything else we should be doing to get it to clear or do we just need to be patient?

How long can you keep you slurry in the fridge. We just racked two batches of wine and have one batch of skeeter pee we are just starting and will use one slurry for, but hate to waste the second batch of slurry.

Yep, it is up and running! Started it Friday evening, seems to be doing it's thing. If we have questions definitely will ask on the recipe page! Thanks!

Too funny you should say that dangerdave, because my husband picked up the stuff we need yesterday so we can start a batch tomorrow. If we have any questions may we ask you? Your directions are very good though! Thanks for the welcome!

I have to go find out what this skeeter pee is, makes me laugh. We have bottled all Orchard Breezin' Blackberry Merlot - our first kit Raspberry White Zinfandal Strawberry White Zinfandel Black Cherry Pinot Nior Raspberry Grapefruit Revolution Orange Passion Fruit Pomegrante...

I know there would be others that understood gluten on here. Celiac and gluten intolerances are growing rapidly. jswordy - I love the low cost of making my own wine, and so do my friends...hahaha. Thanks for the welcome!

Hi All, I accidently found this forum while browsing the internet. I have always been a beer drinker and never cared for wine. Four years ago I was diagnosed with Celiac disease (gluten intolerance) so bye bye beer, gluten free beer is just not great and expensive. I started trying wines...
