<< I went down to Hi-Times Brewing Supplies the other day down on
Newport Blvd and 22nd street. I usually like brewing beer or champagne
cider, but they had free samples of various home vintage wines.
Some of the cabs and merlots were okay, but the Peach was really
good and unique tasting. I asked the guy if the recipe was available
for purchase. The salesguy told me that I could buy the recipe for 'two
fifty'.
Thinking that he meant $2.50 I put it on my amex, collected up my brewing
supplies and
headed out. I was shocked to find that the price wasn't $2.50, but $250!
Upon
returning to the store to ask for a refund, I found an open lot with
a 'Coming Soon: Jack in the Box!" sign. I called the previous number
for the owner and he said since I've already received the recipe, I am
not entitled to a refund. I told him that if I can't receive a refund
that I will make sure that everyone gets this recipe! Please forward
this to everyone you know dozens of times.

I have two different types of wine yeast. I can't figure out
which one to use, the Redstar flor sherry or the Lalvin EC-1118.
