Awesome! I used Concentrated Sevin to knock down my spotted lantern fly nymphs. Worked with no problem. My grapes (Marquette and Swenson White) are in year two. Thank you for putting out these videos. I’m learning a ton and they help me managing my wine and, now, backyard vineyard.
As someone who lives mountain climbing and lives in Minnesota is such a pain that I have to go multiple states over to reach the Rockies. I gotta move to the west someday.
A friend of mine just handed me this camera he had, but he had no instruction on how to use this trail cam. Can it still be used as just a stand alone trail cam without the cell plan. Will it still take pics that I can view later
Yes, can use as stand alone. Just don’t sign up for data plan. It will record, but you will need to retrieve it or download files to see what it recorded.
don't think I have ever actually dried one. Usually clean and sanitize right before use, and if there is a little water in it I'm ok with that. If I felt I HAD to dry a carboy, I'd invert over a milk carton container, or something like that to stabilize it upside down, and let it air dry.
OMG - I can't believe it took me this long to realize I can top off my larger vessels with already racked wine. it's so simple but I never thought to do it. I don't need so many bottles of varying sizes.
Tradition is press first, just ferment the juice. Have never heard of anyone fermenting whites on the skins, but who knows? maybe someone is trying that; would be interested in hearing about it if someone is doing this.
Great review! I have 2 of these in the woods now with solar panels! They have been fantastic!! The plan cost are great and I love the fact videos count the same as pictures in your data plan. Also the hd request plans are very reasonable and hardly need to use it as the videos are very good in the standard resolution.
Soak in hot water for 1/2 hr remove label with razor blade scraper and a SOS pad for glue. The SOS works great. I have been doing that for years. The soap in the SOS pad works great.
I use 350°F for 10-15 min. Labels PEEL right off(do NOT scrape, makes a huge mess). Then use mineral spirits for adhesive removal followed by acetone to cut the oils of the mineral spirits. Wash your bottles as required before bottling. Works flawlessly, every time. The suggestion of 200° is nowhere hot enough to release the label from the adhesive.
I should have tried your method. Concerned with weaking wine bottles. Others may have found it useful for their projects which didn't involve forcing corks into bottles.
in Denmark, where I come from, the breweries know very well that the glue they use must be easily dissolved in the rinsing machines they use to wash the bottles. so the different manufacturers clearly use different types of glue. small manufacturers sometimes use stickers that cannot be removed without solvents.
The Bird is awesome. Thanks to Berks Trails Works and the amazing trail work they do! Rustic Park is the best place to park for all the “Safety conscious” people. Lots of parking there and you will never not find a spot. Thanks for the vid 👍👍🇺🇸
I was looking into what I would need to start my first time homebrewing mead and could only find information about Starsan. Which is way out of the budget for starting and seeing if it's something I would like to go further with. So this video was extremely helpful!
Have you ever tried to make some mead? There are some really interesting things you can brew with honey as the fermentable sugar. I made some with black berry and rose hips, it is 13% alcohol and back sweetened with wild flower honey.
Thank you! I just got one, and you answered a bunch of questions I had that the very limited instructions did not answer. Especially about being able to use the camera without a cellular subscription... no where in my instructions does it say that is possible. I like the camera, but the instructions are remarkably not informative.
Many factors affect fermentation time. For us, some reds 7-8 days, some whites up to 30 days or even longer. Just be sure fermentation is complete before you bottle.
Hey, thanks for the thorough review. I was curious if you had an exact measurement on the inside. I was looking to get one of these for my skis, since I believe it will be wide enough to fit my boots as well. My skis are 178, and they make a 175. I wasn't sure how firm of a 175 that was. (I see yours is a 165, just thought if there was a few extra inches in there...)
inside measurement about 165 cm on my 165 bag. Wheels take up some interior space at corners, but there is space between them. Might be able to fit skis diagonally, but then boots could be a problem. Good luck!
I made wine right now (I think ) I use a empty bottle put blue berry’s ,honey ,yeast and added water and made it Jan 12 then in Jan 15 it wasn’t doing anything else so I change bottles the thing am worried ab it it smells strong of alcohol idk if that’s good or bad any idea’s?
