    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    Dragon blood is suppose to be a very early drinker, like from start to bottling in a month , but you can rush it too much if you do have problems... I do not move my wine until it is dry in the primary. I then put in a second carboy and degass the hell out of it. I rack when it has 1/2 inch of...

    Win XP question

    I agree with you somewhat....tom.... You can change the password on your router and change the encryption if you want, but if anyone wants to get in they will....I dont see why they would... A chain of stores with cc,customer info, etc is a target for sure, look what you could do with all that...

    Win XP question

    I dont think I would worry about it too much....I can not see why anyone would want to get into your router....must virus,worms,trojans never come through a router....its mostly emails and clicking on a pop up. It takes quite a bit of work to get through any router. And I am not talking about a...

    I do agree with Julie, give super kleer at least 2 weeks....even though it may clear in a few days, if you use sorbate it will drop out as a real fine brown film, and it will take 2 weeks to do so.

    Blueberry wine ferment

    I dont think sorbate will not stop a wine from oxidizing...sorbate is meant to help stop any type of referment from adding sugar are juice with sugar contend. if its topped off well and with an air lock it should not oxidize.
