Anyone? Or should I just go with muscadine because of low-maintenance?

About 2 years ago I planted some muscadine and got from it enough grapes to make 2 gallons of wine this past summer. Later I decided to put in two more trelises of same length for more grapes, however, I am not sure what grapevines I should buy..... Should I go again with muscadine or concord...

Did you use one of those 100% POM pomegranate juice? like the one sold in costco?

Lately I got curious in eighter doing pomegranate wine or mead.... What is total weigh of used pomegranates? Or how large those pomegranates you used?

Thank you all for your replies. I just found two more bottles of honey that I have apparently bought before. So actually I have close to 20lb. So probably I don't really need to worry about amount of honey...

Hello everyone. I am planning to start 6-gallon mead this week and I am trying to find a good recipe for my first attempt at mead. At the moment I have about 10 lb of honey, do you think it would be enough or I would need to get some more? I know I would need more if I would want to make sweet...

I started this wine in about late August, then after 3 weeks I racked it into second fermenter. I made it from dark muscadine grapes. I haven't used any enzyme. Also, about a month ago, I racked it one more time to remove collected lees. Since then a bit more of it settled, but much less. Right...

I have my wine in second fermentation vessel since early September. When do you think I should bottle it? Its not yet clear. I also curious if I should try to use bentonite? I heard it can help clear the wine. I am just wondering if its safe to use it and if it can effect the taste in a...

Should carboy that having wine or mead brewing in second fermentation stage be covered or wrapped from light and sun? Or should it be in other direction?

I am looking to buy wormwood but I am interested to know which kind would be the best for brewing mead? Does anyone use it here in their mead brewing?

I am using glass jugs.. But I guess maybe its the temperature.. since it dropped few degrees here and I didn't bother to turn on heater just yet. What is optimal amount of water in airlocks?

I have my wine in the second fermination now (in two 1 gallon jugs). However for last few days I was seeing water in both airlock going in wrong direction. To prevent it getting sucked in, I reset the airlock few times. However I don't understand why it would do this, expecially since a day or...

I am planning to make 6 gallons of mead. How much honey would I need to use? I have about 10 pounds of Costco honey now.

Ah thanks. That's good idea. I might go and buy some.

I ordered 6 gallon carboy. However I only have about 3 gallon of wine in it now, during second fermentation I racked it today. Will this large headspace be a problem?

I am from Huntsville, AL. Started doing my first batch of wine, from some muscadine I collected last week from my yard. Prior to this was only brewing kvass.

Thank for info. I tried to contact them by phone, but I was never able to get through. I might go there today or tomorrow and see that they have. I have ordered a carboy already from NorthernBrewer, but I might buy another from them too, since I think my first batch of wine needs racking pretty...

I am living in Huntsville, AL. Does anyone know any brewing shops where I could buy carboys?
