    Possible Deal On Grape Vines at Lowes

    Link to Deal I have 2 Lowes near me, and have been wanting to grow grapes at our camp on the east side of Sacanadaga Lake in the southern adirondacks. We get a dew just about every morning during the growing season which may be good.. Do any of these varieties look any good?? For the price...

    Pee'd Off!!!

    So last night I went to transfer my second batch of Skeeter Pee into my fairly new 5 gal glass carboy.. Just as I was about to start, I noticed a small crack towards the top of the carboy, right were it transitions from flat on the side to the rounded portion going to the neck.. Arrgghh!!! No...

    Crunch Time

    Anyone else get the feeling this time of year that it is crunch time for the summer season?? By the time summer gets here, I am too busy to keep up with wine/beer making, so I try to get too many batches in now.. Makes for lots of fun and work, but in the end I think it's worth it! Since I'm...

    Yet Another Skeeter-Pee Journey.....

    So as you may know I decided to embark down the Skeeter Pee path.. Recipe in hand, I headed to the LHBS to get the supplies I needed. I left there with the yeast nutrient, yeast energizer, sorbate, tannin, and my pockets were only $7.50 lighter with enough to do at least 2 batches.. Then I...

    Back-Sweetening With Sugar Substitutes??

    Brake Bleeder for Degassing

    This bleeder is on sale at Harbor Fgt for $19.99.. I assume this would be suitable to use for degassing wine.. Currently use the "whip" degasser followed by a vacuvin and find that it is very time consuming, and I never seem to get it all out. From what I have read you need to pull 22 until no...

    RJ Spagnols Orchard Breezin Sangria W/Seville Orange

    Started this kit tonight.. Added 7 cups sugar (made into simple syrup) which upped my SG to 1.084.. Did not add any of the f-pack up front because I am looking for a sweet summer wine. Has anyone done this one?? I've heard good things about it from my LHBS. My wife loves sangria so I'm hoping...

    Other Diamanti Ice Wine

    I've been looking to get an Ice Wine kit and may have found a "Diamanti" in the ruff. I've done quite a few Paklab kits and this appears to be their newest offering.. Diamanti White Ice Wine Kit If you look at the ad it says it's a 13.5 lb kit.. Not impressive for an Ice Wine.. But upon...

    Band Aid Flavor!!!

    While desirable in some beers (ie Ommegang) it is very much unwanted in the Sierra Nevada Celebration clone I recently made.. I believe it is due to wild yeast/contamination present in the beer creating unwanted phenols. It also seems to be very cloudy and will not settle. It's been about 8...

    To Sack, or not to Sack.....

    I am patiently waiting for my wines to age, and have started a couple batches of beer in the meantime. First was an american pale ale from Coleridge. Not a bad kit.. Came with 3 hop additions although they were only labelled flavoring(pellet), bittering(pellet) and aroma(whole hops flowers)...

    WineXpert Island Mist Pomegranate Zinfandel

    Got this one going tonight.. Added 1/2 the F-Pack and 3 cups(~1.5lb sugar) to the primary.. SG is 1.074 @ 74F.. Problem now is I don't have enough carboys. Got the okay from SWMBO to get another carboy, so I think I will be okay for another week or 2.. ;)
