Thanks for the advice. The two pure Raspberry wines will get juiced. The blueberry strawberry cherry is perfect as is. Actually beyond perfect for such a young wine

I have 3 separate gallon wines going as of now. 1.Blueberry strawberry Nanking Bush cherry, 2. Golden Raspberry 3. Red Raspberry /Blackberry. #1 tasted great at racking. #2 SOUR. Not off but sour. #3 yet to be determined. What's the best way to back sweeten after a month with potassium sorbate...

The kit has 1/4 oz of Fuggle at start. I was thinking another . 15oz at 30min, .10 at 5min. The lupulin look and smell great. Where you saying the whole leaf suck up to much wort? Thanks

This is my first mead, 4 extract beer brews completed. I used 3 1/4 lbs. of mixed honeys, 1 Orange blossom, 1 wildflower, 1 clover, 1/4 of a local, for a 1 gallon batch. Wyeast 4184, one packet of Fermaid, OG was 10.80? Sound close? My eyes aren't what they used to be. Looked like it would...
