The taste is actually quite amazing. With a little honey added hubby is really enjoying it too and I like it even better. We just put some in one bottle and will finish the rest with the same amount. I want to thank everyone for all their help. This was a great experience, to be repeated in the...

Awesome, thanks Rice Guy. Exactly what I needed to know. What does metabisulphite do?

Hi FlamingoEmporrium, correct on all accounts. Under air lock for 5 years and have not made any since. Events took on a life and their own and the time just flew by. Good news is that I was able to retire a bit early and I now have time for this wonderful hobby. Yeah, hubby has a sweet tooth and...

Hi folks, looks like it's been about 5 years. We set the bottles on a table and the only thing I did, since the last post was dust the bottles. Oh and I did put vodka in the bubblers every few months when I noticed the liquid was gone. We have company coming this weekend and hubby said why don't...

Hi there abrewkat, oral anesthetic made me laugh. That sounds totally like something I was expecting to create. Did have a big doozy mistake but the drain didn't complain and all evidence easily washed away. All the work involved teaches those lessons quickly though. I did get the PH meter...

Hi Dennis, I have heard this too. We've had this rhubarb plant for a long time and we've been warned several times....Never pick rhubarb in a month that ends in "R". Haven't put much thought into it, we are usually pretty rhubarbed out by September. We do eat it all summer though, July and...

Hi Jerry, this looks like a great recipe, nice and simple, where were you 3 months ago. We are pretty happy with the way things are going with our batch too.

Hi everybody, I must apologize for not posting sooner. Busy summer here and I’ve just been deployed from my regular job to help out at our wild fire center for the next two weeks, starting Monday, which was supposed to my long weekend. Thoughts of a brief reprieve quickly vanished. Some fun was...

Almost finished these 74 pages. https://morewinemaking.com/web_files/intranet.morebeer.com/files/wredw.pdf Very informative even though this isn’t a red wine. Thank you Ajmassa. Along with the info from cmason, PH readings are making a lot more sense now, as well as a few other things. Not...

Thank you Obelix. You're explanations are very clear and much appreciated. This is a great help to me in following your diary. Yes, I have a lot to learn. Again, thank you. Best of luck with this batch.

Thank you for posting your diary. You sound pretty knowledgeable about the wine you’re making and glad to hear that it tastes good. That I could understand. I got lost on your first page but stuck out the read. The PH meter stuff is very interesting. Went thru that calibration too, don’t really...

Hee hee, me thinks you're right. Things seem to be coming together nicely. It just feels right to be pursuing this hobby. We are both really enjoying the adventure. Here's what the wine is looking like today. No, I have not put it away yet. It seems to enjoy being on the counter. A dark closet...

Digging further into the note book, not a whole lot of recipes. More instruction and things like "Notes for Bottling Day". Very informative. There is no rhubarb recipe and strange, in her alphabetized recipe holder (which is filled with wine labels) there is no R. Of all things, hey. She does...

Girlfriend is still out camping but have a message in to her for another Amazon order. :) In the meantime, a friend of hubby's called and asked if we had all our wine making equipment. Said no, we were probably just skimming the surface and getting what we need as we go along. He told us about...

Awesome. He’s done well with the cover and the name too. There were a lot of books there and that one was very attracting, well to me anyway. Jumped right into the virtual cart. Was trying to find a Canadian site (not going well) and came across some site (thought it was his) offerings signed...
