Apparently Acres of Land winery in Richmond, ky has recently been sold to a cattleman who intends to let his cows take over and graze the land. I also read recently that the Ohio valley (and we are in the OV region) is one of the top 5 fastest growing US vineyard areas. Cows wrecking lovely...

I have a pineapple wine started back on May 13th. I can't seem to find my recipe, but it was a 15 gal batch made primarily of 22 fresh pineapples cored ( no flesh). I did add a few cans of extra pineapple, guava, and a bag of other tropical fruit blend. I primaried it Dragon Blood style. It...

I'm wanting to do some cork crafts, particularly a kitchen mat. Unfortunately, the bulk of my corks (98%) are the LD Carlson corks from the LHBS. I would love if I could get some of you wonderful folks to send some of your used ones my way. I would REALLLLLLLLY love to have a few WMT peeps to...

I use a Campden Tabs/Citric Acid mix as sanitizer on my wine equipment. The hubby has recently started his first batch of extract beer. We purchased him a small bottle of IO Star, then realized, it has to be made fresh each time. Uuuugh. Not only does this mean making a new solution during...

Who among us couldn't use cheap sugar? It's kind of a staple, right? I was browsing my sneak-peek sales for the upcoming week when I came across this lil gem on Sugar. Next week (sale runs 5/18-5/24) Walgreen's is having their 4lb Domino White sugar for $1.89 w/ their in-ad coupon. Limit...

Kroger has pineapples on sale for $1, that's dead cheap! I figure for that price, I may as well take a shot at a recipe. I had considered a Dragon Blood variant, as we've liked every one I've tried thus far. Can anyone make a suggestion? I'd like to know about how many I would need to buy...

If you're anything like me, music is a MUST when doing any type of chore. I classify working in the lab as a chore as you have to do it otherwise you have nothing. I thought it might be fun to share our music choices with each other. If you have a playlist or two please share! Might be...

I have a tendency to use only store bought reverse osmosis water as my tap water is rather "hard." It has also become common practice for me to use the Primo brand water bottles as secondary vessels for "quickie" recipes. After using them these bottles a few times I'd recycle them back...

I am a seriously independent person. I hate asking my husband for cash at all for any reason at all. He is the primary breadwinner and he works HARD! I, on the other hand, work only 2 days per month at $150 per night. My hubby has been gracious enough to rarely ask me for any of my money...

I am 100% aware that selling homemade wine is ILLEGAL! I've had people offer money, but I don't take it just give it freely, in hopes that they will return the empty. So anyway, my sister's fiancee just got out of jail on Tuesday. It wasn't anything violent, some back child support and a...

My husband thought of this the other night as I was going on (again) about how I have to (again) go buy bottles AT FULL PRICE!! This is against my moral code, it seriously pains me to pay retail for ANYTHING! Since he often does advertising work for several establishments including local...

Wine Making Supplies - $20 I have two fermenting buckets, two five gallon glass jars, two airlocks, and 2 2 gallon glass jars for sale, plus the yeast and other stuff you need to make wine. All this is worth probably $100, but I just want to get rid of it, as I'm giving up drinking...

Having a Cricut is useful for a lot of things! I recently discovered it can also be useful for home wine making! After seeing this post http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/f83/bottle-numbering-43446/index2.html I decided to make a few bottle tags. It only took a few minutes and I think they...

I'm so gonna have to do this! One could even have the image of a white on the front and a red on the back with a spout on either side. Excuse me now while I go die laughing!

Thanks for any input in advance: I have a LOAD of foam on my Old Orchard Blueberry Pomegranate in Primary. I followed the directions to the letter. Here are my notes: 1/23/14 (11:00PM): OG= 1.100, Temp=70, Yeast= Red Star Pasteur Red - Let sit 1/24/14 (7:00PM): SG= 1.100...

I was gonna back sweeten my 1st batch of Skeeter Pee today, but when I pulled off the airlock it had a vinegar smell. I took a sample and it doesn't taste of vinegar, but there is definitely a smell. Should I chuck it out or is there anything I might be able to do to salvage it? I suppose...
