Picking up my 15 gallons of Concord and 10 gallons of Catawba Sunday. I'm down to 3 bottles of last years Concord and it just keeps getting better.

Gave my brother a few bottles of wine for their racing vacation. He left one of them in the truck. It was 94 outside. Probably got to 100+ in truck. The bar top cork blew off the bottle. He isn't much of a wine drinker so he wasn't sure if it was Skeeter Pee or my Catawba grape. Is it...

Started a batch of skeeter pee Sunday night. Went to work Monday thinking I'd be home Tuesday afternoon so I could add yeast. Wrong. Didn't get home until this afternoon. Can I go on with adding the yeast or did the the must go bad since it was sitting for 4 days?

My blueberry pomegranate skeeter pee fermented dry so I just racked it into a carboy. Like a fool I was thinking about something else and added 9 crushed campden tablets instead of 5. Is this stuff ruined.

At what SG do you normally put your Skeeter Pee under airlock? I guess I just assumed to let it ferment dry with a towel over the bucket and when it went dry to rack into carboy with airlock. I see others have did different. Mine started at 1.070 and after 2 days it's at 1.060 at about...

Been looking for the last hour for 12 ounce, clear, pop off beer bottles. Found this website. http://www.freundcontainer.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_4501B21_A_cn_E_408 Seems like good prices. But their clear bottles are twist off. Does anyone know where I can find clear pop off bottles? I...

I remember a post on here a while back. I think it was on the skeeter pee section. Someone blamed a bad batch on bad yeast nutrient. I just looked at what kind I use and it's Crosby and Baker. Unfortunately I think that's what the person said they used also. Have any of you had a bad...

The wife doesn't think keeping the house at 75 degrees is a good idea so I ordered a brew belt. Should be here tomorrow. I bought 2 packs of EC1118 yeast. I'm going to follow Lons recipe to a T until it gets to the slurry part since I don't have any. Should I get the yeast going with...

I bottled my concord the other day. I started it in September. It worked for a long time because I added a lot of sugar but it stopped bubbling a few months ago. It was in the carboy for almost 6 months. Popped open a bottle today. It had air in the bottle when I opened it. Put a cork back...

My fiancee and I bottled our first wine tonight. It is from locally grown concord grapes. I just wanted to say thanks to "Goodfella" from this website. He created my labels and even printed them out and mailed them to me. Free of charge. Talk about an awesome thing to do. Here is the...

Does anyone have a 5 gallon sweet Pomegranate recipe they wouldn't mind sharing? The fiancee really wants me to make one for her and I thought one of you may have one. I'd like to use Welch's Juice if possible. Thanks everyone.

I want to rack my wines one more time before I bottle. But, I don't want to top them up with anything after I rack because I like them how they are now. If I rack them, and then in a week bottle them. I wont get too much oxygen in there from having too much air space for that week will I...

How long does your wine typically realease gas. I racked my apple cider a few weeks ago at 1.020 and that is where it is staying. Hasn't changed. But it is still bubbling every 20-30 seconds. Must be a lot of gas in it eh?

How do you make your labels. Do you buy the labels and print them your self, or do you order them online? Here's my situation. I have 12 weeks to figure out a label for the wine we are going to set on the tables at our wedding reception. We have the bottles already on order. I have a...

When you guys\gals bottle your wine do you bottle all of them and then cork. Or do you do it per case. Reason I ask, I got permission to use a local wineries corker whenever I need it. It would save me from having to buy a corker. But it would mean I would have to fill up the...

Have you tried them? Love them? Hate them?

I decided to do something fun with this Apple Cider wine I'm making. Just tested it a while ago and mmmm it's getting good. I told a friend that if he made me a goofy label I would give him a few bottles of it. As you can tell I don't mind too much what it looks like. Just something funny...

The boss lady gets this at Olive Garden and really likes it. Do any of you know a wine that taste similar to this. That you have a recipe of. :?:)

What would you suggest for a floor corker? Something easy to use and not too expensive.

Chicken Lips were originated from a chef at a place called Martinis in Burlington, Iowa about 20 miles from me. They are awesome. Ingredients * CHICKEN LIPS * 2 pounds chicken breasts * 2 pounds flour * 1 quart buttermilk * 2 tablespoons kosher salt * 4 tablespoons...
