Thanks for the input. I forgot to tell you that I now have airlocks and
used them with the aborted chokecherry wine attempt and the current cherry.
I also forgot to mention that they were pie cherries.

Yes the present batch foamed up a lot and came out of the airlock. After
about 4 or 5 hours it quit bubbling over and settled down to a regular
perking action.

I tasted some of the foam coming out and it had a
nice cherry taste, but it was a little sour. I didn't dilute the juice at
all, except for the water I put in the pan to heat them up before extracting
the juice.

I live in a small town. When we get to a larger one I will go to a brew it
shop and get the rest of the ingredients and equipment I need. Since I am
diabetic, I don't drink very much, but I like to play and serve it when we
have company.

Thanks again. Dwayne
