  All of the above is good advice. If you are picking more than ~50 lbs, I would rent a
  crusher-destemmer to remove the stems and pop the grapes. I've never rinsed the grapes before
  pressing, not sure a...

  I just finished building an 8'x12' cellar under my house in the crawl space, on the north side
  of the house. Entry is made through the closet floor. Unfortunately, it is only 2' tall, but It
  is all I ...

  Bokonon, thank you for the heads up. I was going to order them at Ice Harbor last year, but was

  This is my first go at it and I have a billion aphids, and many ladybugs and ladybug larvae

  I would think your pot adequate for 5-6 gallon AG batches. I use my 38 1/2 quart pot for 7.25
  gallons to ferment and 6.75 gallon bottled. I fill it up to within an inch or two, and even

  Sorry for the late post, but I have always had good luck dissolving Muntons Extra Light

  I have a 36.5 qt pot & fill it about 1.5-2 inches below the rim. It is a bit tight, but I just
  tend it like a mother hen when it starts to boil. Occasionally some will burp over the top, but
  I put up ...
