Thanks, Allie, I wasn't expecting all that detail in your previous post! I just might have to try this one as I was planning to use the jalapeño as a cooking wine. Your chili-apple wine must have been quite good if none was used for cooking ;) Mike

Thanks for the reply...waiting will be the hard part. I tasted it when racking into the secondary and was quite surprised, even when it was that early in the process. I can only imagine what it will be like at the next racking. BTW, that's quite the repertoire of wine and beer you've got...

Thanks for the reply, Steve. Did I put the cinnamon stick in too early? Just wondering if it will be too strong or create some off-flavors. The area where I'm keeping the carboy is inside a well-insulated closet (no exterior walls) in my apartment. It's very consistent temperature-wise and...

Thanks Allie, that puts my mind at ease about the color. I don't really know what kinds of apples the local mill uses as they purchase a large variety from across the area (Upstate New York, Finger Lakes region). The cider is consistently good, so I'm hoping that helps! According to the recipe...

Hi Allie, Thanks for the welcome. No problem with the forum rules on posting pics. Here the link to my album: http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=106&pictureid=468 Also, does it look like I left too much air space below the stopper? Wasn't sure how close it should be. Mike

Another newbie here with a few questions... My first batch of wine was made from some locally-produced cider (UV pasteurized) per the recipe at Jack Keller's web site. I racked it into the secondary fermenter on 01/10/10 and it appears to be clearing quite nicely. However, I'm wondering about...

No, but getting taxed into submission :sh

I'm in Elmira. If you know the area, about 2 blocks from Arnot Hospital. Seeing that you are in Pierrepont Manor, I won't complain about all the snow we get down here. I imagine you get a boatload of the stuff coming off Lake Ontario.

Thanks for the welcome. In the interest of not repeating old questions, I'm still looking through other newbie posts. Runningwolf...I've assembled the gear needed to begin making 1-gallon batches. It never really occurred to me to purchase a kit with everything including the concentrate. My...

Just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I've been wanting to try my hand at winemaking for some time but never made the effort until now. Lurking here as a guest on and off for a few months has provided a lot of answers (and more questions!) about the process and where I need to improve...
