Hi Travisty, You certainly did your homework on this. Thank you for your remarks and especially the links that you provided. I will surely check them out.

Thanks Trashy, Your observation is quite clear. People who have a buzz on become less attentive to taste and more concerned with keeping the buzz going. A wine with a poor taste will serve the purpose and would be the last to be served since the guests no longer are picky about taste. Thanks...

Thank you Tommy. This was excellent. I hope to share it with others.

Bravo !!! Now you see wine making wine for its own sake. In the past there was the dependency upon the natural sugars in the original content. Lately we have learned, that you can simply take water, add sugar, yeast, and make an alcoholic beverage. Its wine, but without the mother source of...

I only use 1 gallon jugs and on the average the times I experience are: 1) Start activitymake a yeast starter which has aged 1 day. 2) Mix up Welch's concentrated grape juice with water which has the sugar already dissolved in it. 3) Put on cap and shake the jug up and down about 10 times...

I work only with 1 gallon jugs and Welch's concentrated grape juice. To insure that there is ample air during primary fermentation I put a round coffee filter secured with a rubber band over the mouth of the jug. This way if there proves to be a volcano of foam, I can always change the 'diaper'...

Thanks Tomy, You stated: "Preserving grape juice unfermented was a relatively simpler process. It was accomplished by boiling down the juice to a syrup, or by separating the fermentable pulp from the juice of the grape by means of filtration, or by placing the grape juice in sealed jars...

Hi Tomy Thanks for your post. The last Supper was the Feast of Unleavened Bread which is called the Passover. (Luke 22:1). This was on the 14th day of Nissan (a time on our Gregorian calendar between March-April). Passover in 2008 will be April 20th. In Israel, grapes are harvested between...

Thank you all, No one who makes homemade wine should ever be shame faced about it. It is merely the continuation of an old and revered art which was practiced by the notable patriarchs of the Bible. Christian zealots who denounce the practice of this art only display their lack of Bible...

I liked this and will use it somewhere. Thanks. harryhebert

Thanks Masta and Jack, Actually the video is taken from my site article by the same name of 'Noble Bible Wine' which has in it all of the specific Bible references used. In the article it was fun to add 'FineVineWines' and 'Tinto TV' as places for people to explore this fascinating hobby. At...

Hi, I've only been homewinemaking since August but have made 18 little 1 gallon batches. I 'lurk' at this forum every day and decided to post something. I did a video that you can see at YouTube called 'Noble Bible Wine'. I show that wine was considered such a noble and valuable commodity in...

I just spent an hour looking for this post. It was time well spent. I like simple methods. Thanks. I just finished racking my 2nd gallon ever and am really enjoying this quiet, new hobby.(I just had to use this new word racking somewhere. It sounds so much more sophisticated than pouring.I have...

This doesn't relate to wine unless you eat eggs with your wine, but I discovered a great egg peeling method and just must share it. Start with 1 or more hardboiled eggs. Tap the big end well, and the small end also. Tap along each of the 4 sides on a chopping block edge. remove the shell...

I'm retired and slightly impared with back trouble, but by gosh I found I can make wine in 1 gallon jugs okay. I'm going to bottle it in 1/2 gallon jugs. My first gallon was finished 10 days ago and its about gone. This is fun. I bought 14 more 1/2 gallon jugs and just hope I can make more than...
