you could try something with welches niagra jucie from concentrate. jack kellers web site has a recipe for it. it would be cheap and easy. i just did one with welches concord juice and it turned out pretty darn good.

got 5 goin right now. 208

so how would you describe it? i was thinking of making some but didnt know if it would be something to drink or maybe just cook with.

so my wife gets this thing every weekend called boutiful baskets thats basically a bunch of fruit and vegis for cheap. anyway this week there was a buch of limes and mint........lightbulb! so here is my plan for a mojito wine: 4 limes 1 quart of mint leaves 2 lbs sugar 1/4 tsp tannin 1/4...

i was gonna start a wine using welches grape concentrate per the recipe on jack keller's website. i was just wondering if anyone here has tried this and how did it turn out? i was hoping for a some what dry wine to pair with pasta and red meats.

so i pitched 2 packets of ec-1118 on friday, on sat i put in a little extra energizer and nutreint. im now starting to see some action, real, real slow, but some action. maybe a bubble every ten miniutes or so. oh yeah, i forgot to mention, this is from fresh lemon juice from a bunch of lemons...

it's been three days and no action.....sad. i was thinking about tossin some fresh yeast in there. what do you guys think? good idea or bad idea? thnx alot for the response btw.

i started my first batch of skeeter pee yesterday. the slurry im gonna use is from a pomagranite zin i just racked. the zin was pretty dry when i racked it, sg about 0.998 or so. my question is this: since the wine im using the slurry from was so dry when i racked it, is the yeast still alive...

thanks guys! i will have to post how it goes.

so im new to all this....i was thinking of making a strawberry wine for my second batch. anyway, i want to make 3 gallons probably. right now i only have a 7 gallon primary. would it cause any problems to do the 3 gallons in the 7 gallon primary? any help or opinions would help. thnx!
