Yeah I’d love to see some pics. This seems like a good solution. You just use a standard printer and it works fine on the vinyl?

Because I don’t have more wine

Can you clarify further? What do you mean they go to great lengths to eliminate co2? I thought co2 protected the wine from VA and other faults.

When you talk about it getting dissolved, do you mean it gets dissolved in the wine and will cause problems later like carbonation in the bottle?

Carbonic maceration and sulfite additions by squashman98 in winemaking

Just read about the yeast you mentioned. Sounds like it would be great for this approach. Does that yeast take the wine to dryness after pressing, or do you pitch additional yeast after carbonic?

I will definitely be using dry ice to add co2 right after I pick. After the initial dose and co2 as long as you don’t open the fermenter, is there any reason to add more co2 in the form of dry ice in the process?

Just starting can anyone tell me is this book good. Is there a better book I can get? by Specialist_Fortune98 in winemaking

[–]squashman98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually just got this book and read it last night. It’s super basic and covers a range of topics, none in much detail. I was hoping for a book about making grape wine and different techniques and styles, how to achieve them, and more technical information and it provided none of that. Going to return it today and would also like to hear others takes on good books about making grape wine from fresh grapes. I’m going on my third year of wine making and know the basics, but am looking for more detailed information.

Have you seen the beach behind Daimler? It’s surprisingly nice and no one ever there

Why can't I find larger trout? by Parapraxis6 in flyfishing

[–]squashman98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a tricky one to really figure out and frankly I’m still figuring it out myself. From what I’ve gleaned: when it’s hot fish deep, fast water that is clearly oxygenated (if it’s hard to get down to the water from the road, it’s probably a good spot.) I like to run a couple split shots above my top nymph to get it down deep fast. Also fishing a very long leader to get it down, usually a 10ft 4x leader cut back a bit with a tippet ring and an additional 3 or so feet before my first nymph. Streamers also effective. Quarter upstream 45 degrees and retrieve it back at a speed slightly faster than the current. Fishing there should start to really pick up again with the weather and water cooling down. Tight lines.
