Ok, but is the park's camping area "open to the general public?" Yes, I'm sure that would be their opinion at the park. We all know that no matter the rules, alcoholic beverages will be consumed on the golf course, on the campground, at the marina and just about everywhere else. They will...

We've been making wine for 7+ years, brewing beer for 3+ years and as of this past spring, I'm back on a bike again. 2 rides: Honda XR650L & Honda ST1300A. Need a central meeting place? We are trying to increase the participation in the Mid South Motorcycle Festival & Boss Hoss Rally to be...

We made pomegranate wine a few years ago, maybe 4 or 5. Walmart had a special at $.25 each so I purchased nearly $40 worth to make a batch. The skins must be removed and same with all of the membranes. We use a hand crank juice extractor that separates the juice from the seeds and skins. This...

I've used the Red Star Cote de Blancs because it was what I had on hand. I make only fruit wines from what is wild on my farm property so that is usually the only wine yeast I purchase. I did not want to try beer yeast for my first batch. The end result, after about 10 months or so, has been...

I'm in if you want to start a club in the Paducah-Murray area. I'm just south of Murray across the TN state line. Been brewing on my own for the past three years and doing the wine thing for the past 7 or 8 years. I've progressed into some all grain and kegging. I've got some extra supplies...

Some of my finest wine has been made from wild plums. The ones that ripen in early June here in TN, have a red or orange skin and have marble sized pits. Actually, the overabundance of these one bumper crop year is what got us started into wine making, which has now progressed to all grain beer...

Sam Adams has the best bottles and some of the best beers. You might as well sample from their vast selection and gain an education while you save higher quality bottles. If you collect only one type of bottle, you won't have fit and storage issues that come along with mismatched bottles. Been...

Do not use a milk can. It will not withstand the amount of heat generated. Instead, use a scrap water tank. A pressure tank for a well will work fine. Do a Google search for waste oil heaters and fine the Mother Earth News plans for a waste oil heater made from a scrap water tank. You should...

I started out making wine with a wine kit and have progressed to beers. Yum:mug: I've never bothered with a bottling bucket but instead use my primary bucket for my bottling purposes after the beer has conditioned in the secondary. My secondary is a 5 gal carboy which was purchased...

I came across some landscape fabric in my shop during clean up. I purchased it at Lowes. Some of it is black and the other type is white. I believe the black is more for the garden to keep weeds from growing while the thinner white fabric is a silt cloth for keeping french drains free from silt...

According to all of my recipes that I have used, add the camden tablets when you have transfered into the fermenting vessel. You should also add camden tablets every time you rack your wine to a sencondary fermenter. Personally, I add them after my boiled mix and cold water have been added to...

I sampled our Pomegranate wine today and it is ready to bottle. This stuff is nectar of the gods and maybe close to "as good as sex!" I think it may be the best wine that I have made thus far in my limited wine making hobby. It is just as good or better than my wild plum wine. I will have to...
