Here is how I did my only 5 gallon batch of white muscadine this year.

Picked up a 6 pack of this today and it is a pretty good beer. Anybody else tried this beer

I just put 100lbs of these plums fermenting. Going to try and get 15 gallons of wine from it.

I am looking to buy a manual fruit roller crusher. Willing to travel to get it in South Louisisna and Southern Miss. Let me know what you have.

I have finally planted all my blackberries. I now have 10 Kiowa, 3 Apache, 3 Natchez and 3 Ouchita. That should give me enough berries in a few years to make a couple batches of wine.

I just ordered some Vitners Blackberries and Alexanders Muscat concentrate. Any have good recipes to make a sweet wine with these?

Recently I have been mixing Blackberry wine with red muscadine wine and I really like the end results. The mix was 25/75. I might go ahead and mix up 5 gallons of this.

Ison's nursery is having a 20% off sale till Sunday night on all muscadines. I just ordered a Black Beauty and a Pineapple to add to my other 6 vines.

Oh my God is this stuff good. Carbed it to 20 PSI for 3 days and serving it at 12 PSI.

Do bottles with these closures have be stored on their sides or can they be stored standing?

Do bottles with these corks have to be stored on thie sides?

Found a couple of bottles I had hiding in my cabinet. Decided to try some. All I can say is that it is like drinking pure orange blossoms. It is awesome.

Decide to try a white grape / cherry wine today using Welch's juice. It certainly has a good flavore to start with.

Decided to try my hand at a new wine today (for me at least). It is a white grape with peach. Here is what I did. 7 cans Welch's white grape concentrate 2 gallons water 1/4 tsp tannin 1.5 tsp acid blend to get about .44% tartaric sugar to get SG 1.11 (approx 14.5 ABV%) 1.5 oz Peach...

Wally World was out of Welchs White Grape / Peach concentrate and juice today so I ended up buying the white grape concentrate. I have 2oz of Raspberry Extract (Austin Homebrew) and 4 oz of Peach Extract (Northern Brewer) available to use as flavorings. I will be making 2 gal batches. I am...
