Wine Making

It's about time to rack my wines again and stabilize them. That amounts to siphoning them into clean jugs and then adding sugar, sulfite, Potassium sorbate and glycerin to sweeten and stabilize it before bottling.

I just ordered the famed Portguese bottle corker yesterday. It will make one man bottling possible. Also I purtchased Root Beer and Birch Beer extracts to make some more soda pop. We've tried Ginger Beer and love it! It really has some zip to it... more like Vernors Ginger Ale than anything else. But it's got BITE.

Soon it will be time to start washing and sterilizing wine bottles and getting the old labels off and all scrubbed up.

Projects for the future:

Wine Kit with grapes (5 gal)
Elderberry (5 gal)

The last time we racked wine it turned out very good, I mean we tasted them and they were pretty good.
