Hi all! It's been quite awhile since I've logged in. Still making wine and enjoying it. Our cellar dwellers moved out a few weeks ago and I have my wine making space back. Many things have changed since I was last here but I'm still rockin and rollin. I've put together a whole new setup...

I am in the 4th year of building a house here in my area just north of Cincinnati for the heirs of the Kaufmann's Dept Stores which you may know is now Macy's. The wife of the home is the Granddaughter of the family that commissioned Frank Lloyd's most famous house Falling Water. The...

Some friends of ours asked me to make them a couple different wines for their wedding which is this Saturday. I started both of these about a year ago and they have turned out perfect. Vicki and I opened one of each tonight and we both approve! :r My wife is the label designer since she's the...

I have a half gallon of cherry concentrate that I need to use up soon. I've done a site search and find a wine recipe from cherry concentrate. Do I use the same one as from cherries off the vine? If so how much per gallon? Does anyone have a recipe for what I am looking for? :a1

Vicki and I are leaving tomorrow for a Florida/Bahamas' vacation and will be gone about 10 days. We will still have six people at the house while we are gone that know nothing about wine. I'm thinking about starting two wines tonight to ferment while we are gone. One is a pear chardonnay kit...

Since my Riesling juice didn't make it when I ordered my juice last fall I am looking for a good quality kit to purchase. I would like to hear from a few people who have made Riesling kits and their thoughts or suggestions on what kit to purchase. BTW I ordered a Zinfandel, a Muscat, a...

We went to a Halloween party last night and a friend brought vodka soaked gummy bears. There was still about 3 cups of them left at the end of the night and she jokingly asked if I could make wine out of them? I said why not? So I packed them into a zip-lock bag and toted them home with us...

Okay I can't stand it any longer. I need a vacuum pump! I keep hoping Wade posts up another bargain but haven't seen one lately. I would like to hear some reviews on the ones the members here use and what brand/model. I found what seems to be a nice one on Amazon and it's reviews are good...

I stopped into one of local beer/wine suppliers here in Cincinnati today to get a couple of bungs and saw this kit. Somehow it managed to follow me home. :D Have any of you made it and did you make any changes to it?

:slp I just went to get my peach slurry and it's gone. :m So I wake the little woman and ask about it. She said she saw it in there and just thought I forgot to dump it out. :< So we might have to go another route here. I guess my options are, 1. Try to hard start it from scratch. 2...

I searched this forum and didn't really find a good answer for filtering beer. I did do some I-net searches and found a few answers. Does anyone here filter their beer after fermentation? My first batch after bottling and carbonization has some fine sediment that has settled in the bottom...
