thats interesting - mine were picked from a local orchard, but logic would have it they do spray. U se sevin on all kinds of things in the garden to keep bugs off actually. never heard of it helping with bruising.

Did not ferment it on pits. I'll try to dig out the recipe. I did keep it somewhere. My wine is 1 year old at the time. maybe time will help.

Long story short, my peach wine has a kind of flat, dry, bitter taste that every one agrees tastes like either baking soda or baking powder( no one knows what either actually tastes like). so it tastes like crap. One thing of extra confusion is that it tastes stronger like crap in some...

thanks guys - you think it will make a decent patch of skeeper pee? suckle pee?

maybe someone who's made other flower wines could chime in?

I followed jack kellers honeysuckle recipe, but I have one remaining question. All of my other wines, I leave the mesh bag containing the "fruit" in the primary with the wine. His recipe has you steep the flowers, then pour through the mesh bag into the primary. The big question is: Do I...

ha no surplus - my boss seems to think theyre "everywhere" but i sure can't find em

thanks Ross, good advice. Who else has plans for spring?

I spoke to my boss at the farm today, and asked what fruit was the first to be harvested in the spring. (trying to figure out what the first batch I could whip up was?) Her answer: shad berry. aka service berry. Apparrently its the first tree to bloom in the spring, (white flowers?) does any...

is that a scoped SW500? my kind of vintner

Hey man thanks for the help. I shoulda retried a five gallon batch with the slurry, but I racked it saterday and tossed it. Only active slurry i have now is pumpkin and I don't think that'd make good SP. next time I make a fruit wine ill start over.

Some help. I did a one gallon batch because i only had a yeast slurry from one gallon of wine. And as far as I can tell I did follow the directions. Hence, asking where I went wrong. If you make the same recipe with 1/5th the ingredients you should get the same result with one fifth the...

any help?

Well I started to try my first batch of skeeter pee last night, and to make a long story short, I F'd up,-- I F'd up bad. Now Ive got my own theory on where it went wrong, but I'm going to tell you exactly what I did and u tell me where I went wrong. I was going to use the yeast left from...
