I have made 2 batches of this and did not use them. If you are worried about contaminations, crush some up and put them in. If everything is sanitized you shouldn't have to worry.

I'm not yooper but..... Before or after fermentation?

I'll assume the yeast wasn't expired. What type of yeast did you use? Is the temp within the yeast limits? Did you mix in any campden tablets or other preservatives? If so, did you give it some time before throwing the yeast in? It should be bubbling away by now.

Exactly what I used. Works perfect! Did you go by the recipe?

I racked my white grape/peach over the weekend and I believe we have a winner. It will need a little time, but for what it was made out of, it's not going to be that bad. I also started regular grape last week. I racked it this weekend and it taste/smells like juice. I used 2 1/2 cans of...

Not to be that guy, but I have made Skeeter Pee with used wine yeast many times.

It should be fine doing this. It would have some of the blueberry taste that would make the final product more complex tasting. I think it sounds like a great idea.

FYI- Oxidized or whatever wine taste like shizzzzz. I drank some today, only a week old, but it's hard to swallow. Distill??!!??!!

I'd go with the oxidation route.... Any chance that ages out or is it a goner?

So I just bottled 4g of wild grape wine. When it was made, instead of crushing the grapes we used a mixer...mistake. I let it bulk age for about 3 months before bottling. I drank what wouldnt fit in a bottle and its straight alcohol. It has an off taste, not vinegar just funky. What are...

I mixed everything up last night minus the acid blend, put the yeast in this morning. My SG was .100 so hopefully its not too hot. Time will tell!

Good deal. Thank you

Forgive me, I am sure that this has been addressed on 1 of the 1200 pages.... What is the difference in this and apple wine? Thanks all

Yes it would work, just make sure to add the yeast nutrient and energizer per the recipe. I used this yeast in a cranberry wine then to start my pee. The color is great! It's getting bottled next week. Have a good one!

I am thinking about making this. Can anyone explain the difference, if any?
