    vacuum pump for bottling?

    How come you have to freeze it? Is rubber to soft to drill?

    Port for Dummies?

    That works? I never thought of that. Sometimes my wine comes out to "hot" tasting. I am going to try it with a frozen apple juice recipe. Thanks

    Hello Everybody

    I had not thought about that. I will try that next season Those are good ideas too. They are on the to do list. The watermelon juice does not keep long inside the refrigerator once it is removed from the watermelon for some reason. I had plenty of watermelons though. I will grow more this year...

    Hello Everybody

    I did that on several batches. I even bought Lalvin EC-1118 because its is supposed to be able to work as low as 50f. If I could find a yeast that would operate at a lower tempature then I would try that. I will get it eventually. When I grow more watermelons next season I will try try try again.

    Hello Everybody

    Oh yeah, I had watermelons galore. Red meated, yellow meated, and orange meated ones. Everybody around these parts had watermelon, even my chickens (btw-I now have 20 more 5 week olds). I will do it all again next year. I got a new tiller for the back of my tractor, so I will be doing a...

    ¿Cork Size?

    I just got (from George) 100 corks. I ordered Straight Corks-Perfect Agglomerate #9 X1.50. Thats exactly what I got. They look different than the corks I got with my original wine makers startup kit. Did I mess up? Is the the correct cork that goes in normal .750ml wine bottles?

    Peach from Concentrate

    When using the Jumex you just cant do that. ¼ of the gallon winds of lees from that stuff. Thats why I do extra in the primary so I still have something left. I dunno even iffin its good stuff yet, I have not tasted it.

    Peach from Concentrate

    To be honest I didnt use good recording practices. I have only made one gallon of it. I poured two containers of the Jumex into the primary, added enough water to make it about 16 ounces over a gallon (that way I still had a gallon when I took it out of primary). 1 camden tablet. ¼ teaspoon of...
