Thanks adidas. I should not be suprised that it is here somewhere. I suppose any question merits a search at this point.

Seeker[/color]I've never made beer, however, this year, I made around 100 gallons of wine! *

All kinds, red, white, strawberry, pear, apple, peach..... *
I canusually bring in a bottle of OK stuff for around 50 cents. *
Costs me around $1.00 per bottle to make the really good quality stuff[/b]

Wow. 100 gallons. How much do you drink. I never new you could use all those different fruits.
During prohibition seeeker would have been the man!!

Hey, I love wine making!

I usually drink 2-3 glasses a night. Sometimes a much as a bottle. Winemaking is not too expensive.

You can buy all the equipment you ned to get started for about $70. Then you should start of with a pre-packaged kit. It will cost you about $40 and will yield about 5 gallons of a really great wine.

My wife bought a started kit for me one christmas. I made a Chianti from kit, it was as good as any good California vintage.

A $40 kit will make 25 bottles. So if you throw in your equipment cost, it comes to about $4.25 a bottle. The quality is equal to a $10-$20 bottle from the store.

Last night, I bottled a 6 gallon batch I made from Welches White-Peach concentrate. I fermented it to about 17% and sweetened it a little. It tastes like a nice Peach flavored Port.
My cost, $20. That's about $3 a gallon.

PM me if you are interested and we can discus this further!
