Thanks! I am going to check it tonight with a hydrometer (bubbling is getting few and far between), and will probably remove the skins and press them, then transfer to a carboy if the reading is within the specs as the instructions indicated.

I think everyone likes it on earth, its all we know. I would not get too deep into religion per se. Man was not meant to know all the secrets of nature, which is fine by me. Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow you may die - in other words enjoy life and don't sweat the little things or unknowable, especially a deity who could care less (by his inaction) about his own creation. Gods come and go, but always seem to remain immortal in mans thoughts. After we die, no one will even know we existed 100 years from now. Sad but true... so live it up, explore spirtuality if thats your thing, but more importantly remain "free".

I seen a hot celebrity actress in the supermarket but she shows too much cleavage, should I date her?
by unshackled ini was thinking i could take the diamonds i found on my front lawn, sell them to a jeweler to pay for a sex change so i can date the actresses' brother to get to her thru him, then dump the brother, find more diamonds to reverse the sex change, date her and then tell her she shows too much cleavage and i want her to change?
will this work?
am i that bad?

Start by reading some of the most ancient of texts, Sumer, Babylonian, Vedic, Indus valley, Meso American, etc. emerse yourself in their pespective of the universe and you will find that they are all pretty much the same. Personally, I think we were seeded, a grand experiment/project that has long been forgotten. Just live your life and be happy. If god really existed things would not have gone on for this long. Xianism makes no sense, Christ/Satan/YHWH etc. are all tales spun out of older mythos and traditions. Get a feel for the world and stop worrying about what some invisible deity may or may not do... thats my take.

FSM: Austrian authorities accept colander as religious headgear
by J. Hofer inhttp://translate.google.at/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=utf-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3a%2f%2fderstandard.at%2f1308681039222%2foesterreichs-behoerden-nudelsieb-als-religioese-kopfbedeckung-in-fuehrerschein-genehmigt.
this is google-translated from german.... a "pastafarian" insisted in having his license picture shot with a colander on his head.
it's allowed (for muslims for example) to have ones head covered for legal documents if it is a religious practise.

Why the fetish with NICOTINE???
by sinis ini have smoked, i quit, but now enjoy alternatives such as e-cigs, snus, and even the gum.
i find that nicotine has a nice mental enhancement, has several medical benefits and actually may help individuals to relax and focus.
now the question is this, why does the wts have such a fetish with nicotine?

I agree!! ;)
I'd probably still be smoking, but I was having problems breathing and my spouse said I smelled. Now she doesn't complain, which means if she is happy, I am happy... she actually likes the tins that the snus packs come in, and the smell. She said it reminds her of the smell of cigar tubes/cigars that her now deceased father used to smoke.

The same agruement could be made for caffeine, food, prescription pain killers, prescription anti-depression drugs, etc. I don't think there argument would hold water if you cornered them on it... I wonder how their legal would respond...

Oh, I used the campden tabs before I added the yeast (I let the solution sit for 24 hours with the campden tabs before adding yeast). The instructions said to add later on when getting ready to bottle. Should I add campden tabs after the pulp is squeezed? If so, why?

So do I not stir the solution? Kind of confused now. I understand the oxygen affect and vinegar. So should I not stir it twice a day like the instructions said? What happens if I don't and why are they wanting the solution stirred? Thanks!!

Interesting. I know they pull the spiritism card out, but I wonder if that could be countered? Seems like a retarded rule, as I always thought it was...
