    Wine test for quality

    Fruit flies are a good source of protein but very hard to gut out.

    screw top bottles with fresh screws

    You can buy 16 oz. PET bottles and replacement caps. I've used them over and over with no problems holding highly carbonated beer.

    Filtering wine

    Looks like a whole house filter in the video and I'm wondering how you clean it after filtering. Those things aren't cheap.

    Grape Wine newbie questions

    My anecdotal experience: My concord wine went from tasting like donkey piss to exquisite wine but it took almost three years. When it's done, I'd recommend you put it away and forget about it for a couple of years.

    Question about obtaining bottles

    Yep, bars, restaurants and recycling centers are all fair game. Don't forget to give your contact person some samples.

    Large Format Champagne bottles?

    I got several free at my small town recycling center. They'll gladly save them for you as you are doing what they want you to do......Recycling.

    Looking for bottles

    I use the Corona bottles almost exclusively. Strong bottles and easy to get the last drop before the yeast flows. I just throw a towel over them to keep the light out. Star San eats the label paint but it takes quite a few cycles to get them off.

    Looking for bottles

    Surely Australia has recycling centers. My local small town center has saved me hundreds of champagne and beer bottles. I'd pick up 2-300 at a time. They were happy to have them used again and didn't mind drinking the samples I'd drop off.

    Champagne bottles + caps... do I have the right gear?

    If you have calipers, measure the tops. 26mm equals 26mm caps..........

    Texas Beer for Trade

    http://www.tabc.state.tx.us/poe/buying_alcohol_from_out_of_state.asp It is not legal for a person in Texas to order/purchase malt beverages or distilled spirits from an individual or entity outside of Texas and have it shipped into Texas.

    Texas Beer for Trade

    Pretty sure you can't legally ship alcohol in Texas.

    Hiring out work

    Sounds typical to me except you left out the guy you gave half of the money upfront and never saw him again.

    What to do with crappy wine

    I made some wine that tasted terrible so I put it in the crawlspace under my house and forgot it for two years. Gave a guy a bottle and he said it was delicious so I tried one. He was right. Oh what a difference two years made.
