Friday's The Big Day ... Or Is It?

Did anyone notice the new board member?

At one point we had said, as a way to check progress, watch for board members to see if anyone bales or we get new ones. We'll we got a new one.

I believe that he's been around a while.

As I recall he was announced a day or two before "disappointment Friday" (AKA Feb 6).
There was speculation at the time that his announcement might be the reason for delaying the engine unavailing.

IC, k I'll back to drawing stuff. I do that when I'm bored, or waiting for anything more fun to show up. :-)

It is legal to add spirits to wine just like it is legal to add spirits to a cocktail. It is not legal to create those spirits through distillation at home.

I would disagree that it is common to fortify wines at home. Out of the thousands of winemaking customers I have, probably less than 1% of them have ever fortified any of their wines.

Vinegar is caused by a certain type of bacteria getting into the wine. Proper cleaning and sanitizing will prevent this.

Well, turns out you've found me out! I'm just looking for a way to hide my moonshine in wine with the excuse of fortifying it up to say 40 percent.
LOL My earlier posts have revealed I hide some as used in my tractor. LOL Commercial wine makers, however, will save a batch starting to go vinegary by fortifying sick wine with pure grain alcohol up to 20 percent thus inoculating it and selling it as Gypsy Roselee, Thunderbird, Rocket or Ripple. LOL
Spanish Sherry Wine is the only one I know that actually goes bad as you say and develops a crust known as fleur of Mycemia. It is simply the result of a common house fly depositing a wild vinegar bacteria. In other other words don't let flies near your working batch. One form of being obnoxious is to always tell people more than they really want to know. LOL How am I doing?

Thank you for that name. LOL It is so true and really explains how Commiefornia could possibly elect so many nutbags.

Surly is good beer. Made over in the land of 10,000 swamps, just down the road from me.
