New to the Forum and winemaking in general..
Just started my first batch of wine after i was given a recipe from someone who has made many many batches using the same recipe.
5 gallon carboy
10-11.5oz welches frozen concentrate(8white 2 red)
5lbs cane sugar
2.5 campden tablets.
K1-V1116 Lalvin yeast
before bottling 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of potassium sorbate
Im on day two of fermentation and i just covered the bottle to keep light out(does it make a difference if its covered or not?)
My airlock is a rubber stopper with a 3/8 tube going into a glass container of water.
is there anything i am doing wrong? just dont want to screw this up.
