    First shot at Dragon's Blood

    I am leaving today for two weeks of training, but when I get back I plan on making my tropical fruit variant and finishing the black and blue wine I started several months ago.

    Strawberry Lemon Skeeter Pee?

    I just finished a batch of strawberry lemonade. I used 2 bags of frozen strawberries. I believe they were 4lbs each. I bumped my ABV to about 13.5% and is really good!

    This batch was bottled exactly 3 weeks after I started it

    First shot at Dragon's Blood

    I just did that to maintain a constant temperature. I still used the Sparkaloid

    First shot at Dragon's Blood

    It turned out really well. I even froze some into a wine slushy and that turned out perfect!

    New DB variant

    I was forced to go grocery shopping the other day, so as the better half was looking over everything several times to see what she really wanted, I had one of my famous ADD moments and decided to see what frozen fruits they had. I found a couple tropical fruit mixes with pineapple, mango, and...

    Help! Where can I buy juice buckets?

    I'm near Peoria, so around 3 hours depending on where in Chicago. I get up there occasionally for work

    Help! Where can I buy juice buckets?

    I live in central Illinois and have had no luck locating anywhere to buy juice buckets from. Does anybody know where I can get these or who will ship them? I'd love to do a couple batches of moscato.

    quick question

    Just curious, where did you get the moscato bucket? I'd love to do a moscato batch or 2!

    Slushy Pee

    It actually turned out really well! It was the perfect consistency to be able to mix it before you poured it out and tasted great. Luckily there's a freezer on the boat because I see a lot of slushy drinking going on this summer!

    Slushy Pee

    After sitting overnight I think it's the perfect consistency. You can squeeze the bag to mix everything back up just like the store bought alcohol slushy, but mine is filled with wine! I do believe I'm trying this tonight after class!

    Slushy Pee

    I poured 2 bottles of dragons blood into a gallon Ziploc and put it in the freezer to see what happens. I'm wondering if I can't mix the frozen bag by hand and pour it in a glass

    Slushy Pee

    Has anybody tried this? Either in a slushy machine or with a blender? I think it would be a great drink for out on the boat in the summer!

    I've got my carboy sitting in a 20 gallon brute container that is filled with water and that water temperature is being controlled by an aquarium heater. I'm experimenting with temperature control and how it effects the process

    First shot at Dragon's Blood

    When I returned home last night I checked the SG, same as what out was 3 days ago so I racked it, degassed it, stabilized it, and put it in its water bath to clear out. I'm excited to see how soon it'll clear out!

    First shot at Dragon's Blood

    When it got too warm I removed the heat. The next day it was still warmer than I prefer so I removed the blanket. Last night it was perfect so I wrapped to maintain the temp. I guess we'll find out tonight If held steady

    First shot at Dragon's Blood

    Following the directions, I stirred, measured, and squeezed today. I pitched the yeast on Friday and I'm already down to 1.006 sg. That works perfectly because I leave tomorrow and essentially won't be back until Sunday. That'll leave my "partner" with less work (she'll be happy). Hopefully I'll...
