I will be traveling to Boston in a week and I'd like to bring a few bottles of my wine with me. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there a maximum amount that I can bring? Any thing change because it is wine that I've made myself?

I while ago Nestea had a crazy promotion where each box of cans came with a coupon for another box of cans. It's a little sweet for me but tasty enough... it is now a year since the promotion and I still have over 30 gallons of the stuff. It occurred to me that it might make a fun "wine". I'm...

haha, I saw "budget friendly" and thought of this one... http://www.dx.com/p/0-6-lcd-ph-test-pen-set-3-ag13-42734#.UzzrUFcvnDM I think you and I have different budgets! :)

I can buy new 6 gallon Italian carboys here in Alberta for $25. They seem to go for 15-20 used but can be had for 10. Pricing seems to vary a lot with these things!

I was thinking of getting a kegging system to force carbonate some prosecco I have coming and apple cider this fall. Gassing up this DB on purpose could be fun :) Sent from my Q10 using Wine Making mobile app

I just sent a request about the 1999 Ch. D Yquem (375). He said the average price is around $300 but he'd be willing to sell for $160. (CDN)

Nice find sour_grapes! don't bother searching ebay for foil spinner

haha, I have no idea! I'm certainly not a lawyer (I don't even play one on TV), but I'd bet that it's up to the vendor to ensure the legality of the transaction. In my province we're allowed to purchase alcohol when we turn 18 years old but it is up to the vendor to ensure that the players and...

80k? That's a lot for me. Who wants to go halfers? Sent from my Q10 using Wine Making mobile app

That's how I took it as well. An unlicensed individual is not allowed to sell alcoholic beverages here. Offering to sell the bottles (that just happen to still be full) is clearly a thinly veiled attempt to skirt that law. He'll probably go unnoticed. Sent from my Q10 using Wine Making mobile app

I found this ad earlier today and it piqued my interest. Only problem is that I don't know what any of these bottles are worth nor why I would want to own them. Well, that and the accountant won't let me spend money on these things :( Somewhat creative how this guy is selling his wine...

I believe that the word foil implies metal composition by definition but clarifying is good :D. Especially when our plastic shrink caps usually have a metal foil component on the end. I'm going to dissect some metal foil capsules on some commercial bottles I'm de-labeling. Will report back if I...

Well, I dumped all of the bottles back into the carboy and airlocked without adding anything. It's now been a week, SG is steady and I don't get any bubble action under vacuum. The flavour is good and I feel pretty good about bottling this time :D I don't really see anything when I look but I...

I don't see anything there to indicate that the shrink capsules have foil... How do I find these? ...Or is this just a spam link?

yes yes yes, I've been wondering this. There must be a way.

@RunningWolf I'm so jealous of your work space right now!

Hey guys, can I come to hell too?

Work hard, sleep hard These are my greyhounds Chase and Mindy, both are retired racing dogs and have taken lazy retirement to a whole new level haha. I adopted them through a local greyhound rescue. Love 'em!

Will do. I certainly hope to have that problem! Thanks for your help all :hug

Honestly, when I first did it I was quite confident that fermentation was complete but now my rookie mind is questioning everything. SG was stable at .9x (my notes are at home) for almost a week before I added sorbate and k-meta. The sorbate has only been in my posession for 2 weeks but I can't...
