See pics below… I made 6 gallons of Concord grape, grapes I grew 5 gallons of Blush Zinfidel, bought these grapes 6 gallons of Pear wine, from our orchard And the big jug on the bottom right is hard cider, apples from our orchard. Concord is ready to drink, Zinf and Pear need 6 months, Hard Cider should be ready in a week or two. It’s a great hobby, I went all out, hydrometers, corker, 4 fermenters…my wife even bought me a labelmaker for Christmas so I’ll be able to keep track! 🍺 ---

Chicks like the Zinfindel, Concord is pretty sweet (easy to drink), Pear tastes like cough syrup, and the Hard Cider is doubled fermented so it packs the punch. FYI - I had an old Italian (wife’s grandfather) helping me make the vino. Ever see the old gallon jugs with XX and XXX on the outside. The X signifies how many ferments the juice went through. My hard cider is going to be a XXX. Then I’ll freeze the whole batch and cut off the top 2 inches(just water)…Should pack a pretty good punch! ---

If any of your wine doesn’t suit your tastes, I guess you could toss it in this and make brandy… > **[Building a World Class Home Distillation Apparatus](http://moonshine-still.com/)** > > A Step by Step Guide to Building a World Class Reflux Home Distillation Apparatus ---

generalG, what if it has been almost 2 months and the airlock is still going. Mine was still bubbling once every 18 seconds, but I just went ahead and added neutralizer. Could this be bad?
