Umbra that sounds good!
I have a pear and an apple tree that I was going to try to use for wine and brandy this year.
I need to build a press tho.

I wonder if cooking the fruit first would help?

 

[Keef]

Anything go in the fermenter get cooked first round here !-- Water - fruit - sugar -- I bring the fruit -water and sugar to a rolling boil to kill anything in it -- While it is heating up I start running it thru the blender make tiny fruit pieces -- After the boil I put it in a bucket -- and finish filling the bucket with RO water -- Everything gets cleaned with 10% bleach water that gonna touch the mash or (must I hear wine people call it )-- I put the cleaned lid on the bucket and let cool for 24 hours - Then pull my bubbler out and add yeast thru the hole then replace it -- I been using yeast sediment from a previous batch - Then just like growing -- U wait !
The bubbling in the airlock as CO 2 escapes shows me it is fermenting !-- No looking inside until bubbling starts to slow !--Make U a run of vinegar if U get sloppy !

 

[Keef]

When U ready to bottle put the wine in a pot - I taste it and sweeten to taste at this point --bring it up to 160-180 degrees to kill the yeast !-- boil the bottles just like U do canning at the house !-Keep a lid on the wine while it cools -You'll need a corker and some corks - U can use found wine bottles just clean and boil them like for canning !-

Hello OFC

I used to own a carpet cleaning business for many years. I would seem to always hit my head on a hanging light in someone's house about every other week at least. I am tall and people who are not tend to hang overhead lights a little lower than I would like. ha ha

A couple years ago an older guy who lives near me heard noises at this door. He flings the door open and sees a black bear in his doorway. The bear being startled attacked him. It did not kill the poor guy but he ended up in the hospital. I am weary off opening my door unless I see what is out there. Bears can be scary up close.

Rose I broke a couple of toes and I know what that feels like. I cannot even imagine what that feel like if I broke a finger. I know it has to be hard trying to do anything. Take care.
