Thought I would post a picture of what cookin' in the guest room. Left to right the Raz-A-Rita is up first. Next is the Mayhaw-Fuji Apple, then Georgia Bell Peach batch #2, next is Georgia Bell Peach batch #1 it has some of the Sam's white peaches that never softened. It fermented bone dry and...

Well I didn't want to mention this here after tasting the overrun that has been stored in the Chiller since I started the wine but today I racked using just a cane. When I pulled the suction and got a little wine in my mouth it was very good already. Here is the recipe it kinda tastes like a...

Just a quick post as I forgot to add a ingredient to my batch of Peach this morning and when I added it I'm not uncomfortable with the level in the bucket. I work on boats and had these hose adapters in stock so I used one for rigging a blow-off hose. Fits really well, so if I can't keep the...

So for those who don't know what a Mayhaw is it's a wild Crabapple. In the Hawthorn family, they grow wild in the Swamps here. I have juice leftover and thought a batch combined with some apples might be a good combination. I would have to buy & freeze the apples as I do not have a press. Any...

I bought 9 pounds of white peaches from Sam's that were firm. I froze most of them, left 3 out to eat and they never softened up. Tasted ok but just ok. That information needed saying as I also bought 20 pounds of fresh yellow peaches from my local grocery that were soft, sweet, ripe to the...

Any one use a food mill to process fruit before fermenting? I'm looking to make another Blueberry/Plum/Lemon batch of wine. The frozen plums last time only were squeezed thru cheese cloth. The skins I want to avoid since the last batch came out so smooth but was thinking the sweet plum pulp...

Thought I would post this as it worked very well. Not only did all the visible sediment boil out but I was able to remove 48 labels in 15 minutes. Now a small amount of glue residue was left on some of the bottles. That will be removed with adhesive remover. I used our 100qt crab boiling pot &...

Tried my Lemon wine yesterday and I'm not impressed. I made it with EC1118 yeast. Has anyone made Lemon with another yeast that they liked the results. It's Meyer Lemons, my tree is full again this year, would like to try again. The wine made with 71B tastes like a Professional made it.

Just joined the site and have a few batches of country wines in secondaries now. I am considering a fermentation using some of the frozen fruit we have leftover from previous years harvest. I like both combinations in the title and am lazy as far as blending what is in secondaries now. If anyone...

Good morning I was searching for a either Blueberry/Plum or Plum/Blueberry recipe (still have lots of fruit in the freezer) and found this forum. We have almost 80 varieties of fruit trees on site along with grapes, muscadines, blueberries, persimmons, etc. Just started fermenting originally to...
