Page 6 PEOPLE & I:IFESTYbES fine == ine ,babe eaoitp by Sandy Stern, If the spirit moves you, it is easy to turn out a drinkable batch of homemade wine. You don't need a lot of expensive ingredients and materials, either. All you have to know are a few basic facts about wine making, and while you won't be creating a fine Pinot Cardon nay, at least you can quench your thirst and be happy for a while. It seems unfair, but wine made from ingredients other than grapes is called "false wine". But mere grapes become mundane when you realize wine can be made from such exotica as barley, onions, violets (re cipes available upon request) and almost any other fruit, vegetable, or non-poisonous plant you think would taste good. Some basic facts you will want to remember are these: 1) Most fruits and vege tables produce sweet wines. 2) Be sure to stir in sugar thoroughly (10-12 minutes), because undissolved sugar will not ferment. 3) Some fruit wines (like apple or berry) ferment without yeast, but if you need to use yeast, never add it to by Maureen L. Doyle The transition from college students to working person can do drastic things to your wardrobe. Jeans are the most popular and comfortable clothes to wear to class, yet they are not suitable for many jobs. This transition may neces sitate the building of a wardrobe of working clothes. The basis of a good hot liquids--only lukewarm, as heat kills the organisms that make the yeast work. 4) To "fine" the wine, or clear it, the easy way is to strain the final product through filter paper, such as a coffeemaker filter. Otherwise, you can add one cup of skimmed milk to five gallons red wine and stir, or add three grams of gelatin to five gallons light wine and let stand overnight before stirring. Aside from the ingredients, you will need about 1 1 /zyards of cheesecloth, which can be obtained at a cloth store, some large (half-gallon to five gallon, depending on how much wine you are making) glass con tainers which have been scrupulousy cleaned, a sieve, a funnel, and a balloon (optional-- read on). Here is a pre-tested recipe you can try. Easy Raisin Wine (makes one gallon) 3 boxes light raisins 1 gallon and 1 pint water 1 1 / 4 to 2 cups . sugar to taste 1 / 4 cake yeast Bring raisins and water to boil in a large pot. Turn down heat and let simmer for two hours. When mixture is cool mot 3urt Clean 3tano wardrobe is a good color scheme. It will make buying clothes easier and more economical. At the beginning of each season, newspapers and maga zines announce the popular colors for the upcoming season. These articles are helpful in choosing a color scheme. Taking note of the predominant colors of the Clothing in the stores is also helpful. But what is fashionable is C.C. Reader enough to handle, strain it through cheesecloth-lined sieve Be bold and press the raisin pulp against the sieve with your hands to extract as much juice as you can. Now pour the juice through the funnel into the glass containers. Add the sugar, stirring until it is dissolved. When the juice is lukewarm, dissolve the yeast in one-quart er cup of warm water and add it to the juice. Now you have two ways to begin the fermenting process. You can hang a square of cheesecloth over the top of the bottle and set it in a warm place, either on or beside a heating unit, like a radiator or baseboard heating. The cloth will absorb the wine's unneces sary elements and will need to be replaced with clean cheese cloth. When the cheesecloth stays clean, the wine is ready. This takes about six weeks. The other way is sheer simplicity. Just cap the bottle with a medium-large balloon. When the balloon is completely expanded the wine should be ready. It will be a bit more cloudy than the other method, but very lastey. This takes about four weeks. The wine is now ready to "fine" and enjoy. Aker Attuti Ninety-nine cases of beer on the wall—Ninety-nine cases of beer--If one of these cases should happen to fall--Ninety eight cases of beer on the wall. There always seems to be a party down at 9558 Flickenger Street. Carl Cobeski, Bud Savage, Steve Buchanan, John Kashishian, and Larry Whelan, therefore, have accumulated quite a number of empty beer cases; 97 at the , last count. When entering their house, one can find beer cases doubling as plant stands, end tables, foot rests and other types of furniture. The cases, mostly Genese, have been rapidly growing in number since the beginning of the fall term. Regulars at the many parties have been. Jim, Brad, Beak, Scerpico, Larry, Bart, Ron, Becky, Vito, and a ring-neck pheasant who con stantly knocks at the door asking to bum a beer. not always what looks best on you, so be careful in your selection. Choose a color that compliments your complexion even if it is not the most popular. With a wardrobe based on color, mixing and matching garments is possible, making it seem as though you have more clothes than you actually do. It also makes choosing shoes, bags, and other acces sories easier. Crosswo ACROSS 1. Bone: anat. 3 Not many 6. Monks 12. One's hus band or wife 14. Litte girl 15 Has life 16. Utter 17. Squatted 18.
