Came back to read this again.... LOL... So umm... anybody ever take on like 2 bottles in a setting... and still semi function?

I am using my first island mist Black raspberry kit. I am going to do this in the FastFermenter. I have pounded YouTube HARD trying to figure out how to do kits in this thing.... I have it going now with the 1118. In about 5 days it should be ready to rack... Please advise how you would...

Anybody have a good log sheet they use for their wines? Or perhaps no the name of a good Android Wine App?

I hate to say.... I never aged it past 2 months. It didnt last long enough. I know that the last bottles were much better tasting then the first. I would guess 3 to 6 months?

I know. Should have measured. I can get a measurement to night and post where it currently is if you think that would help? It is still very much active.... I am thinking I will rack it again to night to get more of the sediment off the bottom.

Right now it is burping like 3 times per second. It is still going good....and we are going into week 3. Not sure about this one.

I do. I just didn't take any readings for what ever reason. I don't have a starting SG.

Sharing my Story here... So I have a batch of REAL strawberry wine going. Berries were on sale for like $1.20/lb. I put about 16lbs of berries in it... added sugar (cant remember amount... think it was a Jack Keller Recipe that called for 12lbs) I am doing a 6.5gal batch. After 1 week...

Any of you have an App you recommend for wine making?

Melons are hard to do :( You dont see many Watermelon wines for sale in the store. If this is your first wine....I would recommend you do like a Welch's Grape to start out with..... I fear if you try Watermelon on your first go it may turn you off from a fun hobby.

Standard 750ml bottle...or approx 25oz of goodness....how many "glasses" of wine? I vote 3. :tank:

How you able to buy sugar for? I found a place I can buy it in bulk. $23/50lb bag. Comes to .46 per pound.

Think I can sub out the Sparkolloid for Bentonite? I have no Sparkolloid but plenty of Bentonite. Summer is coming... time to make the hard lemon aid.

Here is Jack Kellers 30 Dandelion Wine Recipes. This link has a LOT. I want to get out this weekend and try some of this. I have NEVER made a Dandelion wine. http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/dandelion.asp

Ok so my buddy has a LOT of Mulberry trees around his house. He said come an get all I want when they are ready. I figured I would go for enough to do 6gal of wine. I have heard that there are worms in Mulberries. BUT then I found this post.... and.... well it kind of makes sense to me...
