I agree with Joe.

You can search almost any wine making question within this group and
you will find pages of relative info. I search first and if I don't
find the info/help I need, then I will post a question. Why post if
the info you need has been discussed multiple times. I think some of
the folks that have been around this site for awhile probably get
tired of the same old questions all the time. That said, this is a
great group and a wealth of information and if you don't like to
search and would rather post questions, I bet you will still get some
discussion.

Happy Holidays!
