Hi, I am hoping someone here can help me find a wine making guide. A couple years ago I had found a guide on making wine from Norton grapes. I think it was from a Midwest agricultural org and it was a PDF file. I have plenty of books and guides on making wine but I'm interested in a guide...

Great idea and thanks for sharing, I might modify this idea a bit to suit my own interest but I'll certainly give you credit when I do!

Just finished brewing an All Grain Brown Ale, now enjoying a homebrew and watching Liverpool play Aston Villa! Been a pretty great day so far. :rockin:

Thanks for the links and information on this. Now I'm torn between making one myself and buying a complete setup for only 70 dollars! I'd love to hear how it works out for you Warrior as I'm buying some other equipment over the next couple months before I buy a Randall.

45 minutes left in my boil of a Blonde Ale. Awesome weather here in St Louis, have some steaks grilling at the same time.

Bottled my American Brown Ale this weekend and already have the immersion chiller in an English Ale.

I cold crash every time now, but i'm also kegging to force carb and then bottling with a beer gun.
