i'm excited for my wine yeast brew! some people take this stuff seriously and win ribbons, i just want to have a good time!

Yeah, never been into the whole competitive aspect myself. I do kinda understand the appeal of "hitting the numbers". But even that's a dim thrill, and something of a buzz kill when "the numbers" don't get hit.

What about the fun? the magic? I'm in this to enjoy the process -- and product! And, I suppose, to save some money -- now that I have all this equipment.

well i cracked the lid on my wine yeast brew, same recipe....got another day to find out if the yeast flocc, but tastes more like expect activley fermenting almost done, 8oz's chocolate malt in 10 gallon batch would taste like....being that i burst carb by weight and got the pointer to put a fan in the top freezer, should have it ready to drink in 2 days....about when my "Super Duper, i Swear It Costs So Much a Cartel Made It Black Strawberry Wine" kicks...lol
