I decided to label a few batches of wine at the same time since it takes so long to clean up afterwards. I think it worked out pretty good. I also came up with a new blend that is very tasty, it's moscato and cranberry. I call it summer sunset. I even used a photo that I took while in San...

Has anyone else made the twisted mist mojito? I got mine and it came with 2 packages of yeast and 2 f-pacs. I'm sure the 2 packs of yeast was a mistake, I only used 1 of them. The f-pacs I'm not sure about. I've only done a couple of other island mist products and they only came with 1 f-pac...

"Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it will attract moisture to your skin. The more glycerin you have in your cosmetic...

A friend of mine found this with a bunch of empty wine bottles and gave it to me. My question is has anyone seen a corker like this before?[/IMG]

I am making a concord grape wine that I would like to add body to. Is there much of a difference in the outcome of adding glycerine or sliced bananas that have been simmered on the stove. I think that adding the glycerine would be much easier, but if making the banana soup and adding it does...

Hi all. I'm new to wine making, this forum, and the addiction that goes with it:D. I made some grape jelly from the concord grapes that I picked in my back yard and still had lots of juice left so I decided to try a batch of wine. I picked up a wine maker kit from my local store and made a basic...
