Has anyone tried these? I just picked up the Raspberry Lime one yesterday for summer beveraging: "Craft Series Raspberry Lime Cider Fresh raspberries coupled with zippy lime. This cider is sweet and refreshing treat at anytime!" Interested in how it came out for others!

To all of my Canuck friends!!

Hey everyone! After the snow last weekend, I'm hoping to finally get my garden planted this weekend. Things seem to be warming up, and Dad stuck his feet in the mud an pronounced it "time". In the last couple of years, I've been doing what is basically Square Foot Gardening, and I've really...

Hey All, If there is one thing that seems to be lacking in my fruit wines and meads so far, it's nose. Each wine has a lovely taste, good legs, body and mouthfeel for the 'style'. But they all have a slightly 'chemical' nose on them. I find it really reduces the enjoyment and flavour...

Recently heard this guy, and he's brilliant!! Haven't heard a song yet that I don't like. His name is George Ezra. Watch the video if: a) you like good music or b) you enjoy Ian McKellen horning in on someone's music video :) Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS0WvzRVByg

At the Wine Guild meeting the other day, one of the fellows was waxing eloquent about sparkling wine. He hadn't been able to get his hands on encapsulated yeast in several years and was thrilled to see the MoreWine had it to order. Another gentleman mentioned that any time he makes a white...

Woot! I now have in my possession a Master Chef Vertical smoker. It uses charcoal and wood chunks, and looks a little like R2D2 in black. I think it will be too cold for a little while to actually use it outdoors, but would love it if I could get some advice from the experts on the site as to...

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get the next phase of the AIO setup going for my Dad - the whole house filter...the issue I'm running into is that when I do a Google search I don't find the products available in Canada. He is currently borrowing my Buon Vino filter, but that means that he still...

Today I was working on several of my country wines and meads. Mostly one gallon batches and a three gallon batch. They are all made with different ingredients from bananas to raspberries, honeys to white sugar, teas and flowers. Different batches of chemicals used over the year, and...

Hey everyone! Quick decision: should I get this kit? I love big, bold reds, and I have a bit of money from my birthday for buying something yummy (I was told explicitly that it does not go to anything "serious"). :i It's clearing out until this weekend at $89.99 at the LHBS. Does anyone...

We did our (now) annual apple crush on the weekend! Approx 250 Lbs of crabs - unknown variety. I did not have the freezer space to freeze many before hand so they went in raw this year. We rented an electric crusher, and press this year, total cost was $70 incl tax for the weekend-long...
