    LaCrescent Sport?

    It's been awhile since I posted anything on Homebrew Talk, many "life" reasons why but here goes... I've been growing grapes for a number of years. Decades, actually. Anyways, a few years back I added LaCrescent to the vineyard. Whenever choosing a new variety I always limit my purchase to one...

    Fermenting in a Mini-Keg?

    I did a search, didn't find an answer. I have ready access to fresh (pasteurized) cider most of the year. I usually make apple wine in larger amounts (5-15 gallon batches), but for experimenting with small batches of hard cider I was wondering about using the small mini-kegs, not the Heinekin...

    HBT Peace Sign?

    Just curious here - for as long as I've been around this site, it's always been the beer mug for the symbol, in my favorites as well as on the site. Granted, it's been a couple of days or so since I was last here, but today I click on my favorites and the mug's been replaced by a purple peace...

    One for the Homebrew Mythbusters: Re-Cooling?

    Or whatever you'd call it; here's the issue -- My b-i-l was going to toss all the beer, including a couple of sixes of my best homebrew, that was at our place in the Adirondacks because he said it was all ruined anyhow by reason that the beer fridge was temporarily out of commission (two days)...

    Second Wines

    Don't hear or read too much about making second wines, but I have to say that this King of the North that I made from our grapes last year produced one of the best reds I've had in a long time, and today I just bottled the "second" wine I made from the pulp of the first batch, also used about...

    Pretty Weird - Nottingham Rescued by Manchester

    I brewed up my version of an American Ale (sentimentally dubbed "Blackstone Pond American Ale"), my wife and daughter gravitate toward those tastes... Anyways - I used Nottingham yeast that I bought a few months ago and had kept in the fridge until then. I rehydrated exactly according to the...

    Sogrape cork size

    OK, I've searched. I've even contacted Sogrape and can't seem to get past the Portugese-English barrier. My question is this - I have accumulated (after putting out the word that I want/need empty bottles) a couple dozen or so empty Sogrape bottles. I like the oval design, they make a nice...

    Clef du Vin*???

    Okay, so it's probably another one of those things that everyone else in the world already knows everything about it, kind of like that time I discovered the word "the." (Cue in a Peter Griffin flashback here.) After all, it's supposedly been tested for 10+ years or so, but I only just came...

    By Weight or by Liquid Measure?

    I wish I could post this as a general thread for all areas of this forum. The issue is that with so many recipes, we use ounces (oz.) but there is never any clear-cut differentiation as to whether it refers to weight or liquid measure. "Dry weight" used to be a standard expressed as...

    Honeyberry Wine?

    Unless there are other keywords to use in the search (honeyberry, honey berry, honeyberries, honey berries and various deliberate misspellings in order to catch the odd typo), I found nothing. Even a Google search only found a few appropriate topics, the closest being a thread on the winepress...
