Confession: I steal artwork from the web for use on my labels... I feel less guilty on this one for not cropping out the artist's signature. ;)

Day number 3 and it's bubbling along nicely, no energizer added... Here's hoping it doesn't stall out halfway through.

Go for it, you won't regret it! I've been fishing all my life but only started fly fishing about 5 years ago. Doesn't matter if you're picking on a 10" trout, if you've got the right weight rod, it'll feel like the battle of your lifetime, lol!

The trusty San Juan Worm, a size 2 hook wrapped with red wire, never fails. Here's my prize Rainbow:

Just stumbled upon this thread! We just purchased a drift boat today (even though we're coming up on ski season now) and can't wait to get back on the river next spring.... Or maybe this fall if we come out of this deep freeze we've been in all week. Here's a shot of one of my more memorable...

Thanks! ... I went ahead and pitched the yeast without the energizer, more out of curiosity than laziness... but a little bit out of laziness too. I may be back asking for more help if nothing happens within the next day or two. ;)

Am I reading this right? I don't add any k-meta at the start of my fermentation? And I don't have any yeast energizer... Will I be ok without, or should I hold off on starting this batch until I get some?

Love the labels, very creative!!

I made two versions of the label for my Argentine Malbec... I can't decide which one I like better... I'll have about 30 bottles, so I'm thinking I might go half and half. Here they are: Option 1: Option 2:

Sounds like you're going to need every drop of that wine... Maybe you could just drink it all before he gets back!

I've got a batch of the WE Argentine Malbec going. Tasted it a few days ago and it's already delicious!! Can't wait to try this one a year from now!

Love this!!! I'm new to this and only have my first three batches on the go. I'm finding the naming/label making process just as much fun as making the wine! Here's my first label: And my 2nd:

I just purchased a Malbec from Argentina made by Winexpert. It is a premium kit with skins, so stoked, can't wait to see how this one turns out!

Go for it!!! Peach sounds so delicious!

Haha, can't argue that! No, I haven't chosen a recipe yet. Icksicky, since yours turned out so well... Are you willing to share your secrets?

Thanks Tony!

I'd start today, but I promised my bf that I'd only have one primary going at a time, lol!

Thanks for the tips guys! Tony, I am a bit OCD when it comes to cleanliness, so the sanitizing aspect of wine making really appeals to me, haha! With respect to clarity, will the wine eventually clear in the carboy if I leave it long enough? Or do I need to rack into another carboy? Are...

Awesome!! I can't wait to experiment with a fruit wine of some sort, glad to hear yours turned out so well (which makes me all that much more eager to get going), congrats!

Thanks icksicky, that makes sense! I'll follow the instructions and will hope for the best. :)
