I drove thru WV on Thursday. It was 65* near Morgantown,WV and the trees were starting to bloom. Skied Snowshoe, WV Fri - Sun. It was 6* on Sat morning with a wind chill of -18* At Home - My neighbor was thinking about taking his boat out of storage last week. Now we have a couple inches of snow on ...

I hope she likes it. And remind her to go easy, it packs a punch.

I started mine on 2/22/17 so I have a ways to go as well. Worst part is we killed off our kegged batch. I may get a second batch going to manage the pipeline better.

Very sorry. It's just awful when our pets reach that point.

Every time it happened to us I tell my wife no more dogs because it breaks my heart. Then I cave in and get another one.

That's pretty cool. Parlay a few more sixers into some extra vacation time!

Wow, that's crazy.

I would be remiss if I did not include the first 2 pours The left is the infamous red neck blush and the right is Rasberry CAB (Cheap Ass Beer with rasberry extract) https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16996400_1399166676770736_311903146338649265_n.jpg?oh=a5591caf98614b143e7382e0d33f8751&oe=5...

Yes - laminate is super easy

Today, after countless trips to Home Depot / Lowes, design changes, special orders and a few curveballs, we finished up our bar. Below are some progression pics but we basically filled in a 13 x 10 nook in our basement and put in a bar. Hope y'all like it. Bare studs https://scontent.fagc1-2.fna.fbc...

I think it was 95 after she got out of the Army.

How funny! I got married in Dunkirk and wife is a SUNY Freedonia alum!

berryman - nothing too vigorous from what I can tell. I'll bet you can get your hands on some mighty fine juice up in WNY. We visit that area at least once a year - wife's from Freedonia - still has a few relatives up there. I showed my wife this post today and she is interested in me making a batc...

I'm assuming you could modify/darken the color just by substituting the regular grape juice for some of the white ones? And was you able to get all the ingredients including the yeast at Aldi's? If so, that would make for a one-stop recipe. yep all Aldis except the yeast! I've also done this with a...

Thanks for posting that. How hard does it ferment? Just wondering if I could do a whole 5 gal. batch in a 5 gal. carboy. berryman - nothing too vigorous from what I can tell.

Tony - I'd say semi sweet. Definitely nothing fancy. It's just sooo easy to make and less than 1/3 the price of Franzia boxed wine.
