    Fortified Wine/Port Question

    I agree, you didn't raise the ABV that much. I think it's the raw alcohol coming through. I've noticed that Fortified Wine/Port style wine are improved and mellow with a little decanting. For higher alcohol wines, you might wish to try a Champagne type of yeast, like EC1118. They...

    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    Muscadine Triple Berry Wine gaboy, The Muscadine Triple Berry wine tastes fresh, it's only been in bottles for three days. It's mildly sweet, slightly tart, as most Dragon Blood wines seem to be. There is a light hint of what I would describe as a musk flavor of the Muscadine wines...

    Cajun Fryer This week I purchased a R & V Works Cajun Fryer, 4 gallon, two basket model. It's estimated to feed 25 to 30 folks an hour. The bottom is Vee shaped, so the precipitate falls to a cool zone that doesn't get over 120 F. Makes the fry oil last much longer. Rain slacked off...
