I don’t know if this question is going to make sense, but I hope it does. Is your sink still “clean” then so to say? I feel like it wouldn’t feel clean with oil in it? Idk I hope this makes sense. I.e. - I have a cpap so I have to soak in sink

We tried, but didn't follow things exactly so... :/ One issue we had was my kid picked grapes when I wasn't ready & because I knew since it rained (rarely does) the night before that the yeast might be washed off to wait. She didn't think of that, so not too much activity. :/ I'm still hoping, maybe just juice or vinegar if nothing else.

I thought wine had to sit for years. I'm confused. Update: I read the comments and found my answer thank you. I want to say thank you so much for posting this. I much prefer to do things simply and cheaply, I find things in life get cluster fkd so often and it frustrates me because it's just people trying to empty your pockets when things have been done this way since time and memorial. I make sourdough bread so I understand how air yeast works so I so appreciate your guidance. My grandmother used to make her own wine when I was 7... and now at 56 I rarely drink but one of my favorite drinks is Lambic Framboise so I'm so elated that you posted this... and I have such fond memories of seeing the big pink jug in her house or the dandielion wine which I thought was the coolest thing that you could make wine from dandielions. My grandmother was so very talented and resourceful, sadly she died before I clued in to ASKING her how she was doing all this stuff, so having you post this is very meaningful to me and I'm so excited that I just found a big bush of blackberries that's how I got here. Thank you so much! You guys did great. Nothing too expensive or complicated or clusterfky. So appreciate simple old ways and not the paranoia of making wild food.

We let wild yeast do the work in most cases. It usually works for us. *however* if you want the *most consistent* results, use a campden tablet to kill any wild yeast and then use a good wine yeast. That’s the way to get a consistent result. We generally don’t and occasionally have a failure because of it. We are okay with that.

@@OurThriftyCottage, wrong, that white colored film is calcium build up and other material from soaps. All you are doing is covering up the stains. One day when the calcium builds up is too much your oil will no longer hide the stains. There's a reason why my sink looks brand new.

@@robb9382 I appreciate what you are saying. Perhaps that’s true for you. When we cleaned this sink upon getting it we used an acidic based cleaner which would have oxidized any calcium buildup. (Worked in the commercial cleaning business in another lifetime and have a fair bit of knowledge on the chemistry involved.) on that note, any non acidic abrasive cleaner like comet and a scotch brite pad runs the risk of abrading the surface of the sink. Most of those cleaners are caustic rather than acidic and take more pure elbow grease to remove calcium/magnesium buildup. Cheers!

@@OurThriftyCottage, if you actually knew what you were talking about you wouldn't recommend using oil which only covers up the stains. Composite sinks are very durable and you do not run the risk of damaging the sink. Even Blanco, the manufacturer of my composite sink, recommend this method. I have been using this method for over 7 years and my sink looks perfect. Stop giving out bad advice.

I don’t have a good shop or a good table saw, so it wasn’t very safe. Then I used 1x1 8’ garden stakes as “glazing stops”. For the back wall I just nailed the 1x1 into the openings and put the glass up then nailed the 1x1 into place to hold the glass in. Remember to leave room for the glass to expand!

Apologies for any confusion. You can often get more curd from whey depending on a number of variables. In this video I use some existing whey (since I had it on hand) and then used additional new milk for the majority of the process. It isn’t unusual to acidify the milk twice to get maximum curds. At least for us, with Canadian store bought milk. Your experience may vary!
