After primary fermentation of Renaissance Impressions Amarone, I plan to use the yeast slurry, whatever is left over from the grape pack and raisins to make skeeter pee. Good idea, bad idea, thoughts ?? Ed

The farm I went to was Blueberry Haven. I think it is just north west of Appleton, so maybe the same one that you went last year. Call them up, you might still be in luck.

My blueberry wine is bulk aging now. I added blueberry concentrate and sugar syrup to bring out the blueberry flavors. With the yeast slurry and blueberry in the mesh bag(from the wine), I have also made some Blueberry skeeter pee. It is in the clearing stage now. Good choice of yeast. Note...

Started this wine last night Got the primary from the freezer couple days back. 2 days back when they were kind of thawed, gently crushed the berries and added pectic enzyme. Yesterday added Yeast Nutrient - 5 tsp Yeast Energizer - 2.5 tsp Acid Blend - 2 tsp 7 cups of sugar syrup to bring...

Thanks. Very helpful. I plan on starting the wine this weekend. I bought a ph meter (MW102). What is a good ph value for this wine?

I am looking for a decent and economical ph Meter. Any recommendations? Ed

Last weekend went to a blueberry farm and picked 45#s of blueberries. 42#s are in the freezer of my friends store in a straining bag in the primary. Next weekend, I plan on starting this wine. Couple of questions. 1. After thawing, how do I go about crushing the berries. 2. I added K-Meta to...

Thankyou pioneer. Let me tell you that I am artistically challenged :-). It took me quite a while to come up with this design. As I design more for other batches, it will get better. Keep plugging at it, and one day you will get the "Aha" moment for your design. Ed

Ok how about this? I plan to use Gloss Clear Laser Weatherproof (Laser Only) transparent sheets from sheet-labels (search SL532). I could not post the url of the sheet that I was going to use. Since I use photoshop, I will not enable the background color before printing. The background color...

Happy Birthday Wade.

Good point Wade. I was thinking of purchasing black label, and remove the black background from my label. Searched online, but could not find labels with black background...bummer. I will experiment with other colors. I agree the purple text is a bit hard to read...maybe it is the text shadow...

Comments..Suggestions ?? By the way that is my dog Siberian Husky/German Shepherd mix.

I am not sure how you would calculate the final ABV % using this method? Don't you need the initial SG and the final SG for the calculation?

Welcome TXfanatic. Glad to see another Wisconsinite. My label is going to say "From the Land of the Cheeseheads" :-)

Yeah there are lot of folks who make beer at home. I would say the ratio of making beer/wine at home is 5:1

Thank you all. I started winemaking Fall 2010. Started out with grapes. That turned out a disaster. Followed up with kits. Kits have turned out good. Will start soon: RJ Spagnols - Winery - Super Tuscan RJ Spagnols - Winery - Malbec Bulk Aging: Mosti Mondiale Meglioli - Australian...

Lurked around the forums for the past year...posted first time today. Made a few kits last year and some bulk aging now. Runningwolf, Wade, ibglowin, grapeman and others...you guys are a wealth of information. Ed

A regulator would have been good. I will try the above suggestions for racking my La Bodega port tonight.
