  • Newbie from Colorado


    Hello, and greetings from Colorful (but currently chilly and relatively subdued) Colorado, USA. Guess you might call that a Rocky Mountain “Hi” (rimshot, groans from audience). Been here for 18 years but grew up in Memphis. I recently registered at the “old site.” My thanks to David for giving me the nudge and pointing me to the “new site.” (It did seem somewhat like strolling through a ghost town.)

    I am quite new to winemaking – so new in fact, that my first batch has just had its yeast starter added and is covered with pink foam. For years I have wanted to try this fermentation thing. Actually, beer was my intention, since I have sampled so many excellent homebrews, but I just never quite got “around to it.” This Christmas a friend gave me a beginner’s winemaking kit, so I decided to give it a try. I love wine and I love to make things, so this seems like a perfect match. Probably doesn’t hurt either that I’ve had experience as an organic chemist. We shall see if I still have my touch, but presently I’m at the groping stage.

    Thanks for your speedy replies to my first post on pH meters.

      • Welcome!

        Hopefully your experience in organic chemistry might help some of us along the way also.

                              • Hi there! I finally made over from the old place. I thought the place was so dead I even deleted the book mark but thankfully I had another so here I am.
                                Thanks David.
                                I currently have three batches going

                                Welshes white is clearing.

                                Welshes concord has reached 0 ABV but is still bubbling away and should till sg gets to .990

                                Cranberry rasberry just got started tuesday.

                                I got about 15 pounds of figs from my fig tree in the freezer I've been meaning to get to so that will be next.

                                Cheers
                                Rick
