Welcome granny, do you live close to The Winemakers Toy Store?

Welcome Granny,
All you need to do is ask. Some one will be here to help you out.

Hi Granny !
Did you make any wine yet?

 

[grannytsb]

Not to close, When we are in TX its usually in Livingston, or on Pleasure Island around Port Arthur...... Glad I dont.......... I would need 3 jobs....... I love wine and made a few batches in the garbage can and in the bathtub but never used a kit and proper equipment........... Put an Ice wine on yesterday , hope it comes out good !

 

[grannytsb]

Started an Ice Wine yesterday........... Its not bubbling like I thought....Hope its ok !

 

[grannytsb]

I have just set the lid on the bucket but not tight as George said....... Today I put the heater on the bucket as the temp was starting to drop ....It was about 68 in the room......... Its not bubbling too much......and the yeast smell is less than yesterday, I hope I did not mess it up .........

Hello Granny! Welcome aboard! You have latched onto a great hobby/obsession and a great site. Very helpful and knowledgeable people here.

The first 48 hours can be slow and if the lid is not snapped down it might be leaking air and that is OK. It is just fine with the lid sitting on top. The truth is in the SG reading. I would give it a few days and check the SG

Hi Granny, welcome aboard. I'm from New Orleans glad to see someone else in our state making wine. I have a feeling that more people do this in our state than let on....

 

[grannytsb]

Yes I think so ............ I love it already......... We love German wines and good ones are hard to find and when you do of course I always pick the most expensive one !

Welcome Granny
I've made the Winexpert Icewine several times now for my dad, who is coming over this weekend to restock. This wine tastes very good from the start but be sure to let some age because it gets even better.
