So I just had a few good thoughts... 1: Why not just skip the Camden Tablets and the 24hr waiting period? This would shorten the time the juice has to go bad. You may end up with some odd yeast but does that really matter?! 2: Are you fermenting in a bucket or carboy?.. The carboy would...

SO.... How goes the Watermellon? I have the earge to make some, now that summer is finally in the PNW!! The negative note I have read are making me a little leary..

my carboy has its own convection going right now!! Down the front and up the back...and there is a cloud of bubbles on the surface near the back of the carboy!! Looks really cool, wish I could get a vid of it! Think this is because it is my primary ferment.

Now you see what fermenting wine does to people....do you want to be like the rest of them!?!?!?!

so long as you can Accurately read the numbers.... I suppose you can do it. I did my first readings in the ferment bucket!! Now I have a Thief and a Cylinder.

some how those two words just seem wrong when on a wine forum....

I agree with Tom..... no need for the Billy Mays button!:)

Just woundering what other hobbies ya'll have? I just found out an old friend of mine built a trebuchet! And that there is a local Punkin Chunkin!!:db Think I may be adding yet another useless hobby to the long list..... R/C Cars.......Crawlers and Nitro Trucks Spud Guns ....Pneumatic...

the Super Kleen is AWSOME!!!!!:try You may be able to use a needle and syringe to measure out the correct dosage for smaller or multi batches.

ya I started it on 8/26/10! the recipe said to let it sit for 2wks rack and sit for another wk, then bottle and age for 3 months. I was told this would teach me patients:) Unfortunately I won't realize my mistakes for 3-6 months from now!!

well then what was the point in using the finner!!:) I was hoping to free up the carboy! Can't afford to buy another right now. Unless someone wants to donate one to my cause... And is that the same advice for a cider?

So the wife has been bugging me to start a mead. I keep telling her we have to wait for the cider to clear...3wks time. So at the LBS I aske if they had a finner to speed up the process. He sold me some Liquor Quick Super-Kleer K.C. HOLY CRAP!:spm I put in the 1st part at 8:30, at 9:30...
