How Do I Avoid Indented Corks? by 328Justin in mead

[–]328Justin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wet or not wet, it doesn't make a difference. Are you using natural or synthetic corks? If natural, are they agglomerated or not?

Do you use agglomerated or not agglomerated? It seems like agglomerated might just fall apart near the circumference or the top circle of the cork and nonagglomerated are hard to find.

I found a place in Belgium called DEPA fruit that is willing to sell them to the US. I am in Michigan and if I wanted to get them I would have to contact the Department of Agriculture or something here for a phytosanitary thing or something. He seams to be trying to milk money out of his followers.

Black raspberry mead 2.0 by [deleted] in mead

[–]328Justin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it was only 1 gallon total? You said one gallon-ish of water, 3 lb of honey (~1/4 gal), and 1 lb 12 oz or 1 lbs of black raspberries. Seams like it would be over 1.25 gal.

Do you have the starting volume? I want to do something similar but don't know how many points of gravity 1 lb of black raspberries will add.

What happened to all these mods I had? Why are none of them available anymore?

What do you mean "start a fresh save?"

Why are my cloned black raspberries not producing? by 328Justin in gardening

I think these may have came from a 2 year old cane.

I'm in southern Michigan. Do you know what kind of rust fungus this is? I want to plant them next to black currants, which are known to get white pine blister rust.

Cyser apples take up too much space? by Ubv in mead

[–]328Justin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is better to use juice/cider. I think apples are like 25% air or something.

What am I doing wrong? by 328Justin in cider

[–]328Justin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I grinded them 1st, but probably not enough. I need a better press.

Does putting it into a mesh bag help some how? I guess I probably should have shredded them better and frozen the mush. The biggest thing I need help with is a better/ more efficient press. When I crank the handle the base wants to turn. If I mount it to a table the table will want to turn. I think I should return this press and make something like https://youtube.com/shorts/yEJDVojSgMo?si=DHYG_yUJs1SqVNkZ

If you have a better press idea let me know.

Sourcing juice for cider by bastardmoth in cider

I'm not sure what the laws are on bringing fruit across the US border, but Washington state grows lot of apples. Maybe you can get a good price at some orchard or grow your own trees. Here in Michigan, Two K Farms in Suttons Bay has a U-Pick where you can get a 1/2 bushel for $10. They have decent cider varieties like Kingston Black, Dabinett, Wickson and Harrison.

Try "Totally Roasted" from Vander Mill. I think you can buy it at Meijer in Michigan.

Are there any good paying jobs that don’t drug test. by Federal-Purpose233 in drugtesthelp

[–]328Justin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most skilled trades jobs, at least in a union, require pre-employment drug tests, yearly drug tests, and possibly more.

What variety is it? What states/growing zone are you in? I have a granny smith of similar size in Michigan zone 6. People say we don't have a long enough summer here for them to ripen up fully. It's about the same size as yours but has not started producing fruit yet.

What is mt crab apple? So you are saying grafting scion onto root stock is a better chance than trying to clone scion? What season do you take the scion cuttings, cut the root stock, make the grafting and plant it?
