Mine was like a Galileo Thermometer for the first couple weeks then they all settled out I chopped half and the rest went in whole.

I have everything ready to start, one last (probably not last) question:


Is Brewcraft Wine Tannin (Hydrolized Gallotannin) the same as grape tannin?

Thanks.

Is it powdered? I use powdered tannin, from LD Carlson. But the hydrolized stuff might be fine- I just have no idea!

Yes, its a powder. I found this additional information on the intra-webs:
Yes there is the difference.
"According to Dr Paul Smith, a chemist at the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) who’s working on tannins, ‘Wine tannins constitute “evolved” grape tannins plus some grape tannins in the same chemical state as they were in the grape.’ Dr Leigh Francis, also of the AWRI, expands on this: ‘Wine tannins are considered more complex than grape tannins due to the various chemical reactions that occur during winemaking and storage'

Further reading in some wine-making forums, it seems that they are close enough for homebrewing wine. (homemaking wine?). Since my LHBS only had this, I'm going to use it. I'll let you know how it works out in two years

As always, thanks for the reply Yooper!

O.k., I finally broke down and started a 5 gallon batch of this tonight. I wanted to start it a year ago, but am impatient and didn't want to wait two years for it. Now, I would be half-way there. This is my first wine, so hopefully it turns out as good as everyone says!

Your very first wine? Heh, I couldn't have standed making a long term recipe for my first one. Make up a batch of Ed's Apfelwein, you'll be drinking in no time!

I prefer beer over wine, but my wife prefers wine. This helps legitimize my hobby to her. I would like to try some others. Maybe I'll go for the Apfelwein next.

Has anyone ever back sweetened this wine? Results?
