I have easily made over 50 gallons of skeeter pee. I always mix up the flavors and my friends always down it.

I would love one of these and that is a great deal...did you get it off ebay?

I am made a reference to the Old Orchard juices. I meant their 100% Juice that is frozen: http://oldorchard.com/products/100-juice-12oz/ They only have the addition of absorbic acid and citric acid which will not affect fermentation. I have used the blueberry pomegranate, cherry...

I am by no means a "pee" expert. I have made about 5 batches however and I use the Old Orchard concentrates as a flavor additive. I have done the blueberry pomegranate, cherry, to name a few. I add a few extra cans when fermenting and then another as an f-pack when sweetening. I reduce the...

I would LOVE a set up like that...seems to complicated for little old me. People have said to use a used medical aspirator? Where would I go about finding one? I might have to invest in the other filter mentioned in the meantime.

Well I know that even commercial wines have some sediment. I just tell people to let it sit for awhile. I think from looking more into the vacuum pumps that the set up is way to technical for me....I like the idea of a package deal with easy user set up and use.

Okay thanks. I always let my wine clear however it seems no matter how long it sits before bottling or how clear it looks I get sediment. I had a recent batch of Skeeter Pee that had floaties and would settle. It was no biggie and still was a great drinker but looked a little off-putting...

Hey wine making friends...its been awhile. I am coming at my year ear-mark since I started this wine making adventure. The hobby is definitely not going away. I think its time to invest in a wine filter. I need some advice about what set-up to use?? I have noticed that even after clearing...

That looks yum Lon. I guess it doesn't matter what I call it at this point my first batch is gone :) everyone loved my tasty pee. The name and comments o get from those drinking it are interesting for sure but everyone loves it. I will always have one in my fermentor it just goes to darn quick...

Lol well in most of the circles I travel with the mixed company doesn't mind me talking about my "pee" just when I'm asking my friends how they like my pee I get strange looks. Great stuff though mines been bottled a little under a month and is gone. Luckily I've started another one. Is it bad...

I love my skeeter pee...along with the website we need to have some sort of hang tag for our wine with the explanation of why we call it Skeeter Pee...I get many a strange look when people hear me talking about my "Pee"

I freeze my yeast...I thought it would be okay (using the logic that you can freeze bakers yeast). I currently having a wine fermenting away from yeast I have frozen so at least it worked for me. But this is also the instant yeast not sure if the same would apply to liquid.

I agree it was a fluke. I have 3 others in glass carboys and am not switching to plastic yet. Though plastic does have its advantages I think this was a isolated incident.

:b Now that is way worse...I better make sure my shelf is strong enough. Luckily you saved one.

I had it on a shelf...do you think that not having it on some type of rubber mat caused a crack? I have it on a wood shelf in my basement. If so I will move my others. The weird thing is I had racked and re-racked the wine several times in the same bottle as well as degassed. It was at the end...

Thanks all for your sympathy. I did grab the bottle by the base not the top. The only thing I can think is the carboy was old and maybe there was a crack in the base. When I picked it up the whole bottom just popped off so I think the weight of picking it up caused what was a small crack to...

Luckily I have 2 pear trees so there will be plenty next year I have one more aging at this moment. It is just hard especially with whole fruit the work that goes into it to have it all wasted...I guess its just added experience for a newbie
