Thank you very much!... to all the great TEACHERS out there who made this possible You are a credit to this craft! :mug:. I cant believe we made this stuff! pitched in February, just bottled; Cherry Vanilla Mel, Blueberry Melomel and my favorite, the Traditional; on the end. also sneaking into...

"Wine Fact:In olden days ox blood was used to take tannins out of wine." (got that from the video) If you enjoy the process of making wine you have to watch this youtube video called; 'Wine/ How the BEST is done' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsDXSJpXQck It takes you on a 55 minute...

Sorry for this lame pic, I just wanted to see if I could post an image.

I am lucky enough to have some mead to gift for Christmas! I also printed a 'gift tag' with a 'Hot Mulled Mead' recipe that will be hanging from the wine bag! (just in case they don't like the my mead! lol)

I was just thinking (kinda rare) black absorbs light and white reflects light...so much for my original theory. ooops! oh well...the black looks cool!

Thanks Doc, There are no bath tubs in our house, just 2 master bedrooms both with showers in the bathrooms, so I'll have to wait to start any big batches until I get some big equipment LOL. I also need to try some small batches to determine my varietal preferences. I am not only new to...

Greetings, Since I (and many other home brewers) gift some of our precious wine's and mead's this is a very economic way to present them. The link is to an EBAY Hong Kong seller (as an example of what to search for) This particular seller offers 10 bags in various colors from $2.40-$3.99...

Thank you Madam Yooper! I was hoping to use the 3gal for the primary! This site is awesome! mmm...pickle wine! Thanks again, and especially for addressing all three questions! Terry

Hi, I hope this is not too much of a cop-out but I just ordered a Master Vintner Small Wine Kit (1gal) Cabernet Sauvignon. I had a couple questions perhaps someone might help with (again this is a 1 gallon kit); 1) I was wondering if there could be any issues of doing my primary...

My sincerest apologies Madam Yooper! Terry

Thanks very much Dave! That makes my day!

After fining and adding sulfite and sorbate then....racking off sediment it appears that I racked a little too soon on one of my 1 gal meads (a little new sediment dropped out). I could carefully bottle off of the sediment... but was wondering, if I were to rack one more time before bottling...

For mead; bee vomit, yes... fruit fly poop, no!

Thank you, sir Yooper!

It does appear that my SG is stable, and I will monitor for another few days to verify but, I am concerned about how much free sulfites I might have used up (or might have become bound) by racking off the fluff, etc.. I don't have an SO2 testing kit, so I have no idea of the level of Free SO2...

Thanks Dave

Thanks Dave, There were no noticeable lees. But, the day before adding the K-meta I added Sparkloid and there was and is a "light fluffy" (proteins etc. ?) I did not think this was lees, but again, this is all new to me. In retrospect (and your reply) I know now that I should have racked...

The following mead's are my FIRST attempt at brewing of any kind! I had planned on bottling 3 different '1 gallon' mead's (Traditional, Cherry Vanilla Mel, and Blueberry Mel) and 1- 1 gal coffee wine today. All of these were pitched in February and March. Gravity has been stable since April...

SG 1.026 so it looks like things are going relatively well. Sample was test tasted and most of the overwhelming honey flavor is gone. It continues to have bubbling and sparkles on the surface so it seems that it will get to a drinkable gravity (sweetness) level. I don't currently notice any...
