I also find the smell of peaches cut with waterto be gross

My guess is a very joyous gardening type hobby :p

+1 to fatbloke... would have been the paragraph from my own lips

alright... I had to take notes so that I dont forget anything..... Let my preface the rest of this post by saying that I live about 50 Miles from my most local homebrew shop..... so I dont have the ability to pop out and get something I dont have without making it a big trip. Also, I do not...

I read a post the other day that mentioned peach port, and I knew that it was what I was doing next. This is what I have done so far. 1 6lb can of del monte peaches water nutrient yeast pectic enzy. 1.75 lb sugar (at first) I have my peaches in a nylon bag in my must, made and added...

In my blackberry melomel I added some of my fruit in primary, then the majority jn secondary. Maybe it will take longer to clear... But it takes time anyways.. What's the extra wait?

And they rREALLY mean low and slow. It's very easy to overdo cooking the honey. It's a fine line between burnt and caramelized.

I like the beer idea, however; I have yet to brew any beer. Perhaps someone in my area stumbles across this and wants to try, I'm welcome to share. In the meantime I will continue to let it sit and maybe improve.

New racking. Man this stuff is still so bitter. I had added some chocolate/cocoa powder to it, and since racked off, and it barely changed the flavor.... Could I possibly mix this batch into something else.... Could I sweeten it with more fresh honey..... Or will it be a lesson learned that a...

Yeah your bits are ok. I'm interested to see how yours turns out, because my recent orange wine was absolutely horrid.

It's taste was what I was expecting, slightly sweet orange flavor. I based the recipe off of a ore mixed bottled screwdriver. So as fab as flavor and appearance goes... Spot on.. I'd like no bottle sediments of course.... And smelling like a marker is an obvious turnoff... But I used campden...

So I made an orange wine using the same concept as any 'from concentrate' recipe. Got them bottled (with sediments unfortunately) and after a few months in the bottle, figured I'd pop one and see how they are going (in 12 oz bottles) Got one open and it smells horribly of magic marker...

Dunno if this is the best place to post something like this, but the misses wants me to clear out my bottles I have in storage... Makes my cry thinking about it..... I have a bunch of (dirty) corona bottles 12oz/24oz in boxes. I'd like To get rid of them by the box, or all at once...

I pass out baby bottles with wine in them under strict guidance that the jars are not for long term storage, but simply a way to get them home. Week tops.

Oh snap. This will be yummy. You should also try a batch with habaneros.

My JAOM and Blackberry mead :D

Another month..... So the aroma issue has mostly settled itself. Of course it doesnt hurt that I have since made a strawberry habanero wine that is way better, and doesnt pose any of the problems ive had so far with the jalapenos. I have bottled them, and will probably let sit for a while. I...

What percentage of your smallest fruit particles do you think having the liner in like that captures? I have a mountain of trouble with super small pulp, and may have to give this a try.

Oh, and I haven't any powdered tannins.. any other thoughts? I hear the pits of certain fruits can add tannins?

Another month another *UPDATE* So I racked it off a rather thick layer of sediment and pulp ( losing liquid volume to my dismay), and have noticed a rather overpowering jalapeno smell. Its such a strong, and not too appealing, smell that it covers the delicate aromas and flavors of the...
