    STRESSED OVER SOMETHING

    As a landlord myself I would suggest that you talk to your landlord to find out where you stand. I have let tenents out of their lease before when they were willing to help me to find a new tenent (by making the apartment look as good as possible and available to show). It might be worth it in...

    What a gift! So cute

    I do all one gallon batches so having extra airlocks is awesome. I will watch out of the breakable bottoms. I am just plain lucky :) My daughter has turned into a lovely young woman and that is a blessing for sure.

    What a gift! So cute

    Wade, I dont know which ones she ordered or from which company. She said that she ordered the ones that I already have which are the twin bubble. I dont know if they are green or not cause I am color blind but they look clear to me. I am really tickled that she wanted to give me a gift at all...

    What a gift! So cute

    My daughter who lives a couple hours away called me today to tell me that my gifts are in the mail. Just so that I didnt go and order these on my own she told me what she got me. Thirty, yes 30 airlocks! Aparently hubby told her that I really wanted airlocks (and I do) but she had no idea how...

    I am getting obsessive!

    The basement might work except that I am disabled and can not get down there, especially with a gallon of wine in my hands. The room between the barn and the house is connected to the basement and though it might get colder in there the temp might be more stable than the front hall. We live in a...

    I am getting obsessive!

    Hmm, maybe the room between the house and the barn would be better then. But it does get colder there. On the ohter hand it doesnt really warm up at all during the day. I think I will start checking the temps in various places to see which is more stable. Thanks :)

    I am getting obsessive!

    I have moved my nine gallons of wine into my unheated front hall where it is getting pretty cold. I really have to have them somewhere where I can not see them all them time cause I aam just getting too obsessive. I see them, I want to do something with them and then I want to start more! So my...

    Acid and ph testing

    lol, if that is my only spelling error in the post i am doing well. I am not making kits yet. My wines are all country wines from scratch. I would like to do some kits but I really can not handle containers bigger than 1 gallon. In fact I am still trying to recover from racking 5 gallons last...

    Acid and ph testing

    sounds like you might have a color deficiency yourself :) actually telling if a color is getting darker would be hard or impossible for me. So the test goes from drak red to blue? The only colors that I do not have a problem with are bright primary colors. I cant tell if the light on my monitor...

    Acid and ph testing

    I havent spent too much timeing thinking on this but now I am wondering if I should be testing acid or ph. What worries me is that from what I have read it looks like these tests use colors or shades of color to read. Is that right? I am colorblind and I know from past experience with testing...

    how much solution to put in a 3 peice airlock

    Thanks for the help. I think I like the S type better.It is much easier for me to see if there is any pressure but I am glad that I at least tried these. And they are shorter so some of my jugs will fit on a shorter shelf only with these 3 piece ones. Thanks Anne

    how much solution to put in a 3 peice airlock

    I feel pretty stupid but all my air locks thus far have been the S- shaped ones. They have two lines so you know how far to fill them. The new ones I ordered are the 3 piece type. I just wanted to try both types. They came assembled so thats not a problem but I am not sure how much solution to...

    how much for a gallon

    I only do one gallon batches. I have three one gallon batches of concord that I would like to oak. If I missed it I am sorry to be redundant but how much should I start with for a gallon jug. The chips are medium toast american. I see that people start with 2 oz for 5 or 6 gallons but I cant...

    Is it really necessary???

    I am a newbie also. I make small batches using one gallon jugs. Here is my advice....Buy the best beginners package that you can afford! If you can not afford even that then be prepared to do a lot of reading and take notes(make a list). If I had gotten a package to start with I really think I...
