It may have already been covered, but my (admittedly quick) search didn't turn anything up. Has anyone make Skeeter Pee from fresh squeezed lemon juice? The wife and I juiced a bunch of fresh-from-a-backyard-tree-from-California lemons this afternoon. We have a little over half a gallon of...

I've been trying to figured out a good recipe for a chocolate chipotle-chili mead. I keep finding ones that are "almost", but not exactly what I'm looking for. What I'm trying to get, is when you taste it, it's mostly chocolate, but enough heat to it, that it tastes like one of those hot...

... but as a newbie winemaker (1 year now, woo!), I think I invented a cool technique. I was making a batch of Cyser, and I had 8 gallons of apple juice, but my primary bucket would only hold 6 gallons (accounting for foam). All my other vessels were full, so I couldn't just make 2 4-gallon...

The mango wine is about 9% if I'm doing the math right (1.110 to 1.040). Would it be better to blend it with a finished Pee or add it into an...

I'm trying to make a chocolate-cherry mead (a recipe of Jack Kellers, but Ithe forums tell me I don't have enough posts to link it) but the only marachino cherries I can find in town have potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate in them. Obviously, that's not going to ferment. :( Is there anything...
