Cinnamon and vanilla infused apple wine.

You were misinformed I let my 5 gal batches of apple wine ferment with two cinnamon sticks in the carboy it infuses the batch with cinnamon and leaves a nice cinnamon aftertaste in my batches. I also pasteurize my must prior to fermenting and I add allspice while boiling it always does good for me.

Yooper does it ferment the same as table and teals the same alcohol volume as the table would? Thanks

Thanks guys I believe I will go ahead and install this piece.

I am thinking about installing a spigot on an old fermenter that I use in degassing my wine to help me bottle. Does anyone have any experience with these bottling spigot are they prone to leak? I am going to use the bucket to stabilize my wine and degass it. I will then put it under airlock for...

You can back sweeten and flavor with frozen apple concentrate. Stabilize and add 1 thawed can per gal. Gives it a great apple flavor.

Thanks

I was told to add water to my from concentrate wine to decrease the amour of empty space in my carboys. I have been racking every two weeks I added k meta the last racking two weeks ago. I would need to add 1 gal of water to take up this free space in my carboys. My question is would you all...

Thanks everyone
