Chat room anybody?

Good day all, Laura and I spent this past week in a nice cottage on Seneca Lake NY. We'd never been there but it was a short 5 hour jaunt by car. The place was right on the water with a hot tub on the deck. Also, as it was pet friendly, our boxer Tyson joined us. The reason for our trip...

As I'd posted earlier Winemaker Magazine is having their annual Label Contest.....I took the plunge and entered three that I liked. The copyright infringement will probably disqualify me but what the Hell..... they're in the mail, nothing much I can do about it now. Oddly enough, Winemaker...

Just got home from the Weston Playhouse in Weston Vermont....about 15 minutes from our home in Ludlow. Death of a Salesman with Christopher Lloyd. Not a shabby way to spend a few hours. Had a delightful Boggle Cab Sauv with dinner before the play..... Christopher Lloyd made an entrance...

Hey, just opened my August/September Winemaker Magazine and found this http://winemakermag.com/component/content/article/938 Deadline September 24th.

I think this has been addressed before but can't find it. I believe that yeast really enjoys corn sugar rather than granulated sugar...but tell me what is the ratio of HOW much it matters if you make a simple syrup out of each. I guess my question is....will I see a real benefit to use...

Heard about it on the news.....I know we have at least one member from Maryland, but lots just north in PA. Who felt it?

Hey all, After three years of wine brewing I'm just getting back into beer. I am currenlty going the extract route but may get into all grain at some point. My question however is, do any of you use clearing agents? I have no problem with some 'floaties' a bit of sediment on the...

Well, we've decided that the first use for our new barrel is to impart some oak onto a Sangiovese that we've had aging for a few months....and it'll probably become the House Wine. We just gotta work on that drip.....hmmmm, perhaps a wine glass under it instead of a dish????

So cool, received my eBay barrel today. Made in Mexico over the past two weeks with our "Roll Out the Barrel" request burned into the face. It's 5 gallons made from American White Oak. Charred over a fire of white oak chips. It is wonderfully heavy totally empty and finished nicely on...

This seems pretty cool. Low cost barrel with an extra cost in shipping. Great feedback on his account. His OWN write up claims that people are happily using his barrels. PLUS your own logo burned into the front. I just stumbled across this...... what do you think...
