The problem <BR/><BR/>with this last one is that the drinking age and the thing you want make it something that you just can't have yet. And <BR/><BR/>still, you want it and will go to any lengths to get it.<BR/><BR/>Underage beer drinking is certainly no secret and to try to sweep it under the carpet isn't going to make it go away. But <BR/><BR/>the most odd thing about underage drinking when it comes to beer is that even after kids sneak their first beer, they <BR/><BR/>still want to have another one. If you're wondering why that sounds so strange then you need to think back to when YOU <BR/><BR/>had your first beer. It was pretty nasty tasting. Let's be honest, beer is bitter and is an acquired taste. Very few <BR/><BR/>people, if any at all, enjoyed their first beer. Many even get sick after it because of the taste or the fact that <BR/><BR/>they're not used to the alcohol yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794485.post-6924326567194544172007-03-03T13:39:00.000-05:002007-03-03T13:39:00.000-05:00If you are interested in wine making then you need...If you are interested in wine making then you need to do a little homework before you get started.

Wine <BR/><BR/>making is something that people tend to get hooked on because the very first batch is not usually perfect, it may taste <BR/><BR/>delicious but it will not be perfect.

You will undoubtedly pick up tips and tricks to help you improve your wine making <BR/><BR/>capabilities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794485.post-28230342074698056082007-02-24T22:22:00.000-05:002007-02-24T22:22:00.000-05:00Hey,this is an "ask and ye shall recieve" moment.H...Hey,this is an "ask and ye shall recieve" moment.Here I was,looking everywhere for an easy,concise recipe for making wine from grape juice.I Googled,and there you were.<BR/>The Husband and I have already started a batch and weren't sure how long to leave it in the primary.Thanks for the info!Debraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041149106502073460noreply@blogger.com
