Yeah...this group is one the most supportive I've seen...always willing to give my little wine bottles a home!

All, I'm sorta kinda in the process of trying to buy a home and am trying to figure out a way to convert a den into a wine cellar (for both my bottles who are suffering from lack of humidity and my wine making). I'm trying to figure out how I can do this without having to tear into sheetrock...

...maybe down in South Texas but I doubt it this early in the season. Things are humming quite along. I'm finishing up Enology II and trying to figure out where I'm going to fit in a intro to chemistry class..... I found my winery (aka the guest bathroom) very empty so I've kicked off a...

Me likey that one!

Howdy ya'll from 70 degree North Texas!!! Figured I'd check in and say hello!

I sat through a class with Dr. Roy Mitchell (for those of you in North Texas) who has the oldest (and maybe only) Sherry operation in Texas. He had said the same thing...in fact, he knew a professor at Fresno State who had a "sherry operation" in a closet! So Inow have a 1 gallon jug that I...

If it helps any Smoke, I just racked my CC Rosso Fortissimo and just noticed that little oil slick on top. I figured this is probably a by product from the skins/seeds since I haven't ever seen this with any of the Winexpert kits. Thanks to Dean for the confimation!

Darling...you look marvelous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may be overly cautious, but that's what I do...I always and clean and then sanitize...even when I used B-Brite, I still sanitized seperately.....

Stop it Northern...I'm getting any itchy mouse finger over here! I've been looking for a new camera and you've sold me! These are great! Are you using the lense that came with it or did you also get a zoom lense?

Yeah...I've noticed that Oxyclean has "reformulated" their stuff and they don't list what's in it. However, I found a store brand (probably licensed the original formula from Oxy!) that does list its ingredients (typically sodium precarbonate...). I ended up getting this store brand (aka...

I found it at my local grocery store...over in the laundry detergent section.

Great picture Tomy! I for one am one southerner who LOVES snow and of course we never get any of it here in Dallas!!! I'm thinking I'm going to have to make a trip north!!!!

I thought I would provide an update on this batch. I've pretty much ignored it and just let the lees compact and simply kept an eye on it; tasting ever so often. Today I racked it off the lees to a fermentation bucket (to sorta help agitate it) and then racked it back to a carboy. I'm...

So...I'm looking at what's in B-Brite and I'm starting to wonder if I could use OxyClean (or similar) for cleaning wine equipment? Thoughts?

Deer will eat anything....<laughing> If you're going to put up a deer fence you may want to consider electrifying it. Just remember to disconnect it before you go into the vineyard! ...not that I have ever done that....lol
