I mentioned in another thread about going out of our way to go by a Krogers Grocery Store in Opelika, Alabama because the Welch's Juice website that they carried the White Grape and Peach Concentrates. (Thirty minutes out of our way on a trip home from Georgia.) Naturally there wasn't a single...

Most of the Welch's Juice wine recipes call for cans of FGJC, whereas liquid amounts (jugs) of juice are less frequently stated. The problem that I have is that it appears that the frozen concentrates are basically non-existent in my area, though plenty of jugs of juice can be found. I've...

I'm curious about the SG of pure Welch's 100% juices, especially the White Grape & Peach version. has anybody got any info on this? Thanks. Ed

I thought I would be bottling some mead tonight but I got to thinking. This is some seven year old traditional mead that has been sitting in a carboy on a thin layer of lees all those years. I had gotten everything together to bottle and was just about to the sanitizing stage when it dawned on...

I've tried to write down what I think I need to do to ferment a couple of gallon jugs worth of Welch's White Grape & Peach wine. Actually, I think it'll come out to around 2.5 gallons. If some of you could give me some feedback/pointers/money I'd appreciate it. ;) Thanks! Ed Intheswamp's...

Ok, re-inventing the wheel. I'm basically trying to figure out the sugar/OG aspect of this. I'm shooting for a 1.0992 OG which shows a potential ABV of from 13% to 14%. From what I can tell this comes up to 5.8 pounds (5lb 13oz) of sugar for 2.25 gallons. Here is what I've come up with in...

Buddy of mine started a 2.25 batch of pear wine a couple of weeks ago. This is the link to the recipe article: https://delishably.com/beverages/Easy-homemade-pear-wine-recipe The ingredients are: 3/4 gallon pears 2 lbs. sugar 1 1/4 gallon boiling water 1 packet or 1 tsp. bread yeast He...

Ok, I'm getting ready to ease back into fermenting. I've got some equipment from seven years ago when I made some mead but just dumped the additives and chemicals. I also dumped a bunch of very nasty smelling rubber bungs. I've got hydrometers a some racking canes and a few other items so I...

Sorry about that, but the original title "White floating(?) specks(?)...ok? ...infection?..." only got one view in 24 hours so I figured I needed to do something to get some attention. :D I'm concerned about my second batch of mead possibly having a problem. I'm seeing "white specks"...

There is lots of controversy over the comments made during the 2013 BCS Championship game by announcer Brent Musburger regarding Katherine Webb, AJ McCarron's girlfriend. Do you think those comments were "dirty old man" comments or not? Here's a link to a simple, two-choice poll that I...

Roll Tide!!!!!! Go Bama!!!!!!!!!!!

I got concerned about oxidation so last Saturday (Dec-15-2012) I racked my 3 week old traditional over to a 3-gallon carboy. The SG at racking was 1.009 and both my wife and I were impressed with the taste. I was somewhat surprised by the taste, actually. Anyhow, we liked the taste so if...

I'm a newbee and just racked to secondary for the first time. I'm thinking I might need to add a little more mead/must to this carboy. Do you think I need to bring the level up closer to the stopper? Thanks for your help! Ed (click on image for full-size)
