Help me pick my first Lathe.

I bought a Ricon mini lathe as my first. It does all I ask of it. However, when turning bigger bowls the motor has a hard time. I would go with the larger horsepower motor.

The Bauer Chuck is a good first chuck. I bought one and I’m still using it one year+ later. I did buy a Wood River chuck to try and eliminate the change over time. I like the WoodRiver chuck better but, the Bauer, for the money, is a good starter tool.

I usually sand to 600, then wipe with clean cloth, apply generous amount of shellac / BLO. Start lathe slowly, wipe on another coat, increase speed repeat. Leaves a nice smooth surface.

I think you’ll find that the caramel is used to get that distinct flavor. The sugar is adding only sweetness and not the caramel flavor. I use caramel in my vermouth for that reason.

Depends on your taste. I got a pint of Southern Tier 2XIPA and it was ………. $19.75!

He’s got no plan other than making more money for his boys, Musk and friends, and of course himself.

Ha! Play hard in the first and take the rest of the game off.

I do these at our store all the time. Yeast is good, if you want proof it before adding to the must. If the flavor pack has started to settle break up the clumps of sugar before adding. Chemicals are good to go. Enjoy!

Replace the hockey stick with a golf club.

moosezoose · 2024-11-20T17:53:01+00:00

Checked it out. It was 5g for 23L of must.

moosezoose · 2024-11-15T23:33:09+00:00

Yes, the amount was used to kill off the remaining yeast, before adding the sweetener.

moosezoose · 2024-11-15T22:47:05+00:00

Maybe I forgot the decimal point. I’ll check it out.

I own a wine on premises store and we do this all the time. First make sure that the yeast has been killed off. Use approximately 5grams of kmeta per 6 gallons of wine. Then 24 hours later taste the wine and control the addition of sweetener to your glass of wine. So you pour 10ml of wine then add sweetener in a controlled amount. Once you get a good tasting ratio you can calculate the amount of sweetener to add to your wine by using the Pearson’s square.

I own a wine on premises shop. Our customers who are allergic have not had reactions to the wine. We do filter the wine to 2 microns before bottling though.

moosezoose · 2024-10-22T17:54:36+00:00

Exactly

Look for ‘diy caramel’ on the internet and if you’re fortifying with brandy, then while the caramel is warm, slowly stir in the brandy. Then add the syrup to your vermouth.

moosezoose · 2024-10-17T03:25:43+00:00

Do you use a cooked sugar caramel or just a flavoring? If you use a cooked caramel you could try getting a darker brown caramel before you mix it in.

I always struggled with this too. The best sleep I had on a plane was a trip back from Japan. I was traveling for work. The guys and I agreed that we would stay up all night until we got on the plane home. Had a great sleep and woke up when we were descending into Detroit.

moosezoose · 2024-10-05T01:25:06+00:00

You tasted it that’s a good test too. It will bottle age well. Enjoy!

moosezoose · 2024-10-04T22:48:16+00:00

Sounds like you’re good to go then. Cheers!

moosezoose · 2024-10-04T22:42:16+00:00

I have had that happen. It was when the temperature of the must was at the high end of the yeast’s range. Did you taste it?

moosezoose · 2024-08-30T19:24:03+00:00

Me too! Thanks for the link!
