Congrats Ramona!! Did you mean to say High Gravity in Tulsa? :) or is there one in Okc too?

Is the gun not there for making swiss cheese?

Thank you guys

I cant remember. What amount of K-meta do you mix per gallon of water to make sanatizing solution?

Good choices. My only other recommendation now on the Dashwood is to not rush the stabilizing step, and do extended bulk aging after stabilizing and racking off the lees. I personally like oak so I bulk aged on a little french (med toast) cubes for a good 3 months.

Tank, I dont know about your other 3 choices there, but I can tell you that the Dashwood is extremly good!! I made this kit in late march or early april 2007 and I'm going to have to have my wifehide a few bottles from me so we can have some with better age on it someday

Nico, I have watched them all. I saw you had posted #24 and watched it just a couple days ago. Another Great job.It was good to see somereal nice botteling equipment in use too!

George, my prayers are with you and your dad too. This eveningI amcatching up on forum posts from my 87yr old dad's hospital bedside here in Tulsa as he sleeps. He has developed some type of serious abdomen problemin the areaof a surgery from afew months ago. I'm with you george. I...

Thats a thought Oneo! I like oak so much, I might oak and then drink the vodka?

I agree with iikEdited by: Okie1

JMHO, Amarone is too sweet for me. I'm like you, I like Cab's and Merlots best. Working on a Barolo kit now so it will be a year or two before I can say on that. My suggestion would be to look at an En Primeur Cab. It is a premium kit with a real nice crushed grape pak. I have made 2 of...

well, it really started when my wife wanted to have a wine tasting party for a group of her friends to be held in Dec, 2007, so I made some 16 different island mist and orchard breezin kits.Ferminting 8 at a time. The funny thing is when Dec. came we had a huge ice storm and Tulsa was out of...

Ugh, I have 24 full carboys in use, 1 empty and 1 full of sanatizer. Oh and no more room. I cower every time my wife gets on a rant about all the carboys and the lack of room now :(

Urea has gone throught the roof too. I just bought 2 ton of 28-13-13 friday and fell over in shock when I got the bill for $1668 for 80 50# bags Thats up 100% from what I paid in Nov 2007 thanks to DAP and Urea. Its real scary to think of what this will do to food prices later this year!!

Hi McSooner, Welcome. Glad to see ya here. Although were all OSU grads here, my son graduated OSU and is now in OU Pharm D. school there in the City. His senior yr at OSU he was in a wine study and tasting class. Now at 25 he has a good appreciation for fine wines. He makes me proud...

Waldo, I told my wife that with the abv of this port, it would easily improve for several years. Somehow though, I dont see it lasting very long.

Looks like a very nice piece of equipment that i would like to put on my Christmas list. Dont know if ican wait that long though.

Just bottled my Chocolate Raspberry Port! Yuuummmy. was stabilized 11/23/07

Hey Jeff, I'm also a new member to the forum although I have been making wine for just over a year. It looks like you picked a nice kit to start with but it may take some time before its really ready to drink. SoYou might also want to consider soon doingwhat a lot of us newbies wind up...

Hey X, I also strongly recommend using a MityVac or similar vacuum pump also (after drill stiring). I use a 18vlt high speed cordless drill and agressivly (reversing directions often) stir 3-5 times a day for 4-6 days depending on brand of kit. Each time when I'm done degassing, I just...
