Hi, I am a amateur winemaker from Edwardsville, IL. (St. Louis) I really have enjoyed reading the informative posts on this forum and have already received some help in my "wine crisis".
I just bottled my first batch of wine a while ago. It is Apple wine that seems to have quite the punch to it. Id guess around 18%. It was really fun taking this wine from my parents apple trees, "pressing" it with a blender and wrapped up t shirt, to fermenting it into become wine. It really tasted good compared to what you may expect from my amateurishness.
I also bought some fresh pressed concord grapes from a vineyard and went through the fermentation process purely by adding sugar to the wine and letting it ferment out. I recently underwent a second fermentation which I am in the process of figuring out so thank you to all those who responded to my other post.
Anyway I am really looking forward to getting involved in this forum and refining my crude wine making capabilities. This is a hobby that I plan on sticking with and am glad I cam across it.
Thanks,
Tim Gleason
