My son works at Whole Foods OKC and he is on their Facebook page (I don't know how to paste it here), but it has him pictured with him "making a new batch". Now you winemakers may get a kick out of this...who makes a new batch with the primary and the secondary in the same photo? It is a nice...

I think you would be fine with that. I bottle mine in mason jars and have never had an issue. But we go through it pretty fast as well. If you want to store some back for a good while you may want to bottle it in wine bottles. Others are much more knowledgable than I am, but that is my 2 cents...

That is a neat story. My dad made wine and I was just never interested at that time. He passed away in 2001 and now I've been making wine for about 3 years. What a great time it would be to share my wine with him today. If I may suggest to you, savor the moment....and may you have many more.

I do this also.

Ray mentioned the party line on the telephone, my oh my we had some fun with that one. 53 years old here. My dad always said "the older you get, the faster time goes". Now that I am at that age, it really seems true. Seems like years don't even matter anymore, seasons just change.

The last few batches that I have made have been 12 gallon batches with 9 lbs of blueberries and 8 lbs of strawberries. This has been my favorite flavor. I have tried all cherry with lime juice, all cherry with lemon juice, triple berries with lemon and also lime. You can vary this recipe in so...

My Dad passed away in 2001 and he made wine when I was growing up. He would only make 2 or 3 batches a year from the grapes vines or apple tree in the back yard. I began to make wine about 3 years ago. I asked mom where dad's winemaking stuff was. I remembered that she sold the carboys, she...

I am not James but I've made several batches of this with different fruits, lime juice and lemon juice. I would think you could go with that, see how it turns out and tweek it to your liking. Just my opinion...

RMWO, I have to say you have my respect. I have been making wine for a few years now, by no means as knowledgeable as other on this board, but I have read through this thread twice now And your "never give up" attitude is to be admired. I am enjoying reading all of this and let me encourage you...

Happy birthday Julie, thanks for all your efforts on this forum.

It looks,like you would also needs some corks and something to cork with. I would just go ahead and buy a floor corker, they are somwhat pricey (70 dollar range), but a hand corker is in the 35 dollar range And a hand corker is kind of a pain to use, the floor corker is so much easier on the...

Enjoyed reading this thread. I spent 6 years active duty AF and 15 years in the Air National Guard. You guys that are in your 60's and 70's are quite an inspiration. I am a mere 53 years old. And thanks for your service.
