After you rack it to a carboy, maintain the same temperature (roughly around 70 degrees F) until fermentation is finished. Some people recommend cooler fermenting temperatures,but since this isyour first batch, keep it around 70 degrees, and you shouldn't have any worries about a stuck...

You're right, pk - I searched and searched a winemaking forum and found about one good comment to about 100 bad comments.

Here's two recipes I've seen. Both of the people who posted (& followed) the recipes said they were pleased with the results. That being said, I have not made either. The first one is similar to Jack Kellers: ½ lb freshly ground coffee ( I used Folgers Classic Roast) 2 lbs dark brown...

If you properly drain the k-meta solution, then it won't really have any effect. Tim Vandergrift once posted the equations in another forum to show what effect it wouldn't have, but he summed up by saying that thinking you get any effects (or protection) from the k-meta residue is like taking an...

Watch Grumpy Old Men - one of the old guys tries to help get the snow off of his neighbor's roof by hosing it down. Funny movie.

Or, you could just get up early, serve her breakfast in bed, and let her curl up with a book for the day while you prepare lunch, supper, and just generally wait on her.

Something else I did for my wife this past year, masta. I play hockey, and she's my biggest (and only) fan. So to show my appreciation of her, I took her to an NHL game (Columbus Blue Jackets vs Chicago Blackhawks). I didn't tell her what we were doing until after she opened her present, which...

Wine made from fresh grapes can take longer to clear than wine made from kits. I made wine from concord grapes. I used bentonite and isinglass (and time), and it seemed to clear fine.

What's your sweetie's interests? You may want to look around and enroll her (and yourself) in a class she would like, such as a cooking class or a wine/chocolate-tasting class. My sweetheart loves stained glass, so two years ago I enrolled us together in a stained glass class, and she...

Just like my cats!

I've put some of the island mists wines in beer bottles and capped them. They make for a great, easy refreshment when camping, going to the beach, etc.

I'm the opposite, George. We finally got snow here last week, but I'm not sure if it's going to stick around or not. Remember - you can always put on more clothes to get warm, but you can only take off so many clothes before you're arrested.

It's a nice "photo," but it really isn't. It's entirely a digital creation: http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/northpole.asp Very artistically done, though, by a German student named Inga Nielsen.Edited by: Funky Fish

Martina has modified a vacuum bag sealer in the past, I believe. I'd think you just watch the foam level and turn it on/off as the foam rises/falls.

I've heard if you want to imitate the clef du vin, you just drop a penny in your wine glass.

I've always done the heat gun thing, but I guess that's because I could sit, watch tv, and apply the shrinks. It didn't take very long to figure out how to apply the heat so the wrinkles left.

And, as Tim Vandergrift is so fond of saying, "Follow the directions, leaving out no step, no matter how small." Sure, he works for WE, but he used to work for RJS (and I'm sure Dinesh would agree with him).

I know Jack Keller calls for light dry malt extract (or barley extract?) in some of his recipes. It adds body to what might otherwise be too light, even watery, wines. I've also seen recipes that call for either DME or white grape concentrate to add extra body.

What is in the wine that is magnetic? It's all just a bunch of hocus pocus and psychological effects. If you truly believe the wine magnet works, then you have a much better chance of tasting any "changes" that may take place.

And no mozzarella or parmesan?
