What happens if you wait 20 years to try it and it's the best thing EVAR? I'd make a 10 gallon batch. Just sayin'...

Yes, the water bath is to knock the bugs off. The berries have been in season for a month or so, I guess. I looked at the purple splotches on my patio a couple of weeks ago and figured I may as well get something out of this. I'll try the salt water bath. Thanks for the tip.

If he has 'em all, I'll split it with you.

Are the Mulberries in your area covered in tiny little yellow bugs? They are in the tree in my back yard (Near Austin TX). I've been putting them in a pan and running cold water over them for 15-20 minutes. I get about a half pound every other day. Saving them up for 4 gallons of Mulberry Port wine.

Absolutely. At the going rate of 7 ounces per day, it would rot before I could get started.

If you have any advice for my Mulberry Port idea, I'm all ears. I've got plenty of time before it gets started. I only have 14 ounces of Mulberries collected so far.

Are you talking about Tariq Aziz?

Hey, I like your idea of spreading out tarps! I'll try that over the next few days. By fortified, I mean made like "real" Port wine; high OG fermented to 7% or so, then add Brandy to around 18% to stop fermentation, leaving a sweet dessert wine. Looking around the internet, I'm thinking...

Darn. That kinda sucks.

They look ripe to me. The really dark ones are falling off the tree. They taste pretty sweet. I'm no Mulberry expert, though. (Not being a smart-aleck. This is the first Mulberry tree I've ever had)

The fortified type, not just lots of Mulberries. I got 'em falling over my back yard. May as well use some of nature's bounty. ;)

Central Texas is overrun with them. If you want to do some kind of trade, I can send you 10 pounds or so once the fruit starts showing. I have seen them at Whole Foods, but I don't know if that's available where you live.

Holy bleep. This is in the wrong forum. It's got 3 pounds of honey. The recipe is loosely based on Garlic Wine and Jalapeno Wine recipes. They use plain sugar as a fermentable. A discussion on this site leaned towards using honey, to get a better quality end product.

It seems to be stuck. Just 2 or 3 bubbles a minute through a blowoff tube. I think it would work out better if I added the garlic "liquor" and chilis in secondary. The blowoff jar smells like cheap beer spilled in a pizzeria.

Eh. I liked the one from Austin in which a female massage therapist wanted to trade a massage for a facial.

I've got that article. I made a 1gallon batch after I read that. I heated up some honey until it got a bit darker. A couple of weeks later, I read the article again. There's a photo of a glass of Bochet mead. It's much darker than the batch I had going, so I made another gallon. This time I...

What do raisins do for it? I want to make a cooking wine with garlic and chilis. I'll be using fresh jalapenos and those dried red chilis that are often in Asian dishes. I've seen jalapeno recipes with no raisins and garlic recipes with 1 pound. Would/should a garlic and jalapeno recipe get any...

Thanks again. I'll be starting mine in 2 days.

Hey guys I'm a plumber. Soldering is not hard to do, if you're doing it right. Like others said, ditch the soldering iron. Use MAPP gas. Cut the copper with a proper tubing cutter. This will ensure that the pipe remains round. Ream the inside of the cut. It will have a "lip" after being cut...

Thank you Hightest.
