Suprise Pink Iridescent Uranium!

I posted this a few years ago and the consensus was it was for sure manganese. I can totally see why, it's that sickly yellow-green. 2 years and 1 geiger check later, it is over 3x background radiation and turned out to be uranium! Who knew!?

I am SO lost with Stabilization. Please Help.

I have many many gallons to back-sweeten and bottle. I have just re-racked them to take out the sediment and their fermentation finished about a year ago. I read online that you have to add Potassium Metabisulfite when racking and when bottling. Other sources say just 24hrs before bottling. I dont know how much Metabisulfite to add or when/how many times.

Additionally I saw that Potassium Sorbate should be used with Potassium Metabisulfite, but puts a 8-20 month shelf life maximum on wines before it breaks off into off-flavors. Considering I have about 30 gallons to bottle, I will not be able to drink it before the shelf life hits.

Can I add JUST Potassium Metabisulfite and not Potassium Sorbate. I am planning to back sweeten and reintroduce sugars and I dont want to create bottle bombs (been there done that). Can someone please help guide me through this, I am completely lost.

Did I Plant too many Beans?

Should I take action on this or just let the strongest survive?

Radium 1880s Clock (75$)

Theyre selling it for 75$, which seems crazy cheap, except it's missing its protective glass casing, allowing radoum dust to scatter freely. It's a pass from me

Estate Sale Finds

The mixer was 225 with manual, working electronics, and all extra/replacement pieces. The beet brooch was 5. The glasses were 5 for $18.

I feel like I made out pretty well all in all. Sadly, I dont have a shelf to store the incredibly large mixer.
