Well I've been thinking about it and I was curious. If I make a batch of pure alcohol (Sugar, water, & yeast.) And then when its time to bottle just mix coke in with it like half and half? Any suggestions or thoughts?

From my experiance the smell is normal. my batch of peach smelled kinda funky at the beginning just be sure to stir about 2 a days.

Very good point. Have you ever tried making Cider?

I'm the same way, im too impatient and I want it bottled asap so I,can drink some haha

I was going to let it sit for about a month or so before bottling

Hey guys, I let my batch of peach wine sit in the primary for 5 days, siphoned into secondary and removed all fruit. Its been doing good in secondary and its starting to slow down a little bit. Hoping it'll turn out good. What do I need to do once it stops bubbling in the secondary? I dont plan...

Well ive never made cider but you can probably google it or post in the cider section of this forum and they'll tell you

Just a lil question.. I switched primary fermenters today. I didnt have enough room in the first, so I just poured it all over into another container and topped off with warm water. Its still bubbling and rather fast at that. Will It harm it by doing that?

Update;; so its been 5 hours since I added the yeast, I also noted it was 73°f when I added the yeast. I went and chwcked on it just now and it wasnt bubbling so, I took off the lid and there wasnt much head space removed some fruit and now its bubblin away! Looks good so far, thanks!!

Hey guys! I just made my first batch of peach wine. 2 cans (big) of sliced peaches 2lbs of sugar 3/4 gallon of water And 1 1/2 tblsp of red star dry active yeast. Thats the recipe im using. Im just now getting into wine and I think this will turn out pretty good. Basically I sterilized...
