Well, today I started into the world of the unknown... winemaking. After three failed attempts of getting this batch of Syraz started by mishaps of the most important, yet most fragile of devices, the hydrometer. This little guy tells what the proof will be of the wine and when to finish fermenting the wine. Anyways, the first one I recieved was broken from hard shipping, the second one was broken when my friend dropped it into the bathtub to clean it, the third one caught fire fell into the tub and broke then sank into the swamp... but the fourth one, that's the one I'll be inherting. Seriously, I had to have four of those guys shipped to me, luckly for me that the company where i get all my supplies thought it was all UPS's fault, which for the 2 out 3 times it was shipped, it was.
So, after careful reading of the insturctions and the careful handling of the hydrometer, we successfully added all the ingredients and mixtures that is required to make such wonderful necture of the gods. Only weird catch was that I was a little skeptical of the directions because it told me not to activate the yeast as was instructed on the package of yeast, instead it said to just add it to the wine. Expierence and knowledge are bucking against these directions... hope those guys turn on. Enjoy that sugar little guys so I can enjoy you.
