2012 We have been trying to dodge
frost! The last 3 mornings (April 28-30th) have been between 26 to a bit
above (not above freezing, though). The less colder am lasted longer and
caused more damage than the previous AM that was colder, but for a shorter
period of time. Then another one. It is good to see a cloudy sky, it
may blanket us from another frost.
Tom mowed the vineyard last Friday.
April 27. It was a windy, cold day. No tieing that day. This
mowing was an attempt to have a flat vineyard floor that would allow the cold to
slip down the hill and not get caught up on brush or grass, hanging around to freeze our buds.
Change in the
website. Refresh your page. I am working on a new site to graduate to from Front Page,
using XSitePro. However, in
the meanwhile, I am making changes to fallbright.com that you have become
accustomed to. We do have an online shopping cart! We do need
your off (grape harvest) season business. Suggestions for changes have
been made. What do you want me to do? Too busy, too overwhelming,
where to go next??
NEW BOTTLES
ARE in stock, please call ahead. The Taylor Port screw top
bottles are sold out!
I have some dead leaf
punt bottom 750 ml cork finish burgundy bottles for $16.15.
May your wines fall bright! Tom and Marcy Mitchell
WE
ARE STILL HERE!! Tom wants to retire from grape
growing, and yes, the Hyatt Hill farm is for sale. 
However, he
is in the vineyard, still growing grapes for
your wine making needs. We still have a full line of supplies for the
amateur wine maker and brewer right here in our Hyatt
Hill shop, with online shopping using the links on the right!
Online shopping shipping is $7.99! There are some items we do
not ship like wine bottles, grapes, juices, 50 pound bags of corn sugar.

Fermentation - a Sticky Situation a

A note
from the Cornell Enology Group with the following footnote from another
email. This is where I
got the Glucose is the same as dextrose. Thomas Henick-Kling is no longer
at Cornell, but his information is and will continue to be
appreciated.
If there
is much less glucose, then Saccharomyces yeasts can not restart the
fermentation. Apparently Saccharomyces need some glucose (same as
dextrose) to be able to transport the fructose into the cell and
ferment it. In these cases where the glucose concentration is less than half of
that of fructose, the only way to restart the fermentation is to add
more glucose (same as dextrose). None of the repair
yeast (all offered so far are Saccharomyces) can restart a fermentation
without an adequate glucose-fructose ratio.
Please call or e-mail us if you have any questions:

WHEN
STRAWBERRIES
ARE READY. If you are making wine from fruits and vegetables, you will
need to apply basic winemaking and several additives. Follow the
guidelines in your recipes, but do test your beginning fruit and water mix for
brix and adjust as needed rather than as suggested by a recipe. http://www.101winemaking.com/fruit_wines.htm
Security on our shopping cart.
A word from our shopping cart server (www.frontpagecart.com),
which is owned by www.1shoppingcart.com
main server www.mcssl.com).
It is safe to shop with this cart as all information is stored with
their server and NOT on my server. I just spoke with their tech guy
and we made some changes to help our shoppers. If you want to shop you can also call us at
607-292-3995.
Affordable and Powerful Shopping Cart Systems.
If you do not want to shop with even a secure cart, place your items
in the shopping cart. When you are finished, right click and print
your list and give us a call. We will just have to add the
shipping.
Thank you. winemaking@fallbright.com

Bright.

A shortcut to the word on better bottles verses glass.
These are NOT PC plastic bottles, which are the blue ones used for the 5
gallon water industry. They are PET, lab plastic. The 5 gallon PET
weighs in at 1.53 pounds, empty without the box! Go to the
technical tab and then cleaning....
Complete instructions for care & sanitation of your PET
Better Bottle, go to their site. www.better-bottle.com
For a short cut on this
site go to
This PET product is a high end lab item. It does not breath
(allow oxygen in) or leach (plastic materials) into the wine. It is resistant to
chlorine-based (C-Brite) and other (percabonate: B-Brite, One Step, OxiClean)
cleaners and dish cleaning (Cascade) items and Potassium Metabisulfite rinses.
To avoid scratching the inside while cleaning, which
creates microscopic hiding places for bacteria, yeast, etc, the use of carboy
BRUSHES is NOT recommended. If you really need a brush, put a tube sock
over your carboy brush.
There is no need to risk burning yourself with use of
over-hot water, though it will stand temperature up to 140 0 F. Your skin will
not.
Rinsing by flushing is very effective: garden hose nozzle,
Double Blast Bottle Rinser, etc..

We have added just a few wine concentrate kits
to the ONLINE store only. See kits or concentrates in the
ONLINE catalog. We do not have them on premise at Fall Bright due to space
restraints. They are also heavy for us (girls) to handle to box up
to ship, so they will be shipped directly from our suppliers.

NEW ITEMS
We HAD a red
mystery blend for $8.00 per gallon, see Greg's story. It is sort of an
explanation of what happened..... Buyers of this mystery blend, let us know
what you think it is! NO ONE GUESSED CLOSE. This item is gone, gone,
never again, a pumping accident of equal parts of Concord and Chardonnay-Merlot
blend, Eye of the Partridge. I cried for 2 days (2006). Tom added some
Colobel for color. He made a jug, but it has been like an orphan in the
corner and has not had a lot of love or attention. The doors were
left open (another accident) and the jug broke. End of that story.
We never did have a hoop-a event to unveil the Masquerade!
We are open year 'round!
NY 73.0136.17 has a new name
"Noiret" pronounced 'nwahr-ay'.
