Yes I'm more into making a cleaner more refined liquid for drinking as well..

I did rack after 2 days. I noticed when I rocked it that it had a slight sulfur smell when I took it out of the refrigerator this may not have anything to do with it but what could have caused this smell? I found this out because I was splashing the wine a little in the carboy to De gas it. It's...

That's funny I was just watching videos on cold crashing and I have a spare frigerator so I may try that. That is if it still works I haven't had the need to open it up in a few years I just let it sit there and run.

Mulberry Wine (Makes 5 Gallons) Ingredients 25 lbs. of mulberries 10 lbs. of sugar 2 tbsp. Yeast Nutrient 1 tsp. Pectic Enzyme 3 tsp. Acid Blend 1 tsp. Wine Tannin 1 Packet of Wine Yeast: Montrachet 10 Campden Tablets (5 prior to fermentation and 5 at bottling time) A Loosely went by this...

Yes I did add pectic enzyme

I have never filtered anything would a good coffee filter work.

No I didn't take a hydrometer reading because I knew it what's cloudy I wouldn't have got a good reading. I'll give it a week in the secondary and if it doesn't clear ill use some turbo clear on it and then take a reading. I did taste it and it was very dry no sweetness at all. If it ferments...

I transfered everything over to a Carboy last night, this morning it's already started to clear a little.

You have misunderstood I know what Dady yeast is used for, that was not used for this wine. This is what I used to make this batch of wine Montrachet yeast

Thanks guys the cap has doubled sense my last post. I usually pitch dady yeast and it starts over night. The fermenter I'm using doesn't seal very well and that's why I'm not getting any visible activity from the airlock. I'll be glad when it's done its fermentation so I can rack it off to the...

It started

It was 10% abv sorry I forget to say that I added 5 lb sugar SG 1.080 or so

A friend gave me 8.7 lb of mulberries and I'm trying to make some wine and I can't get it to start fermentation. This is what I've done. 8.7 lb of mulberries 5lb sugar , about SG 1.080 Enough water to bring it up to three and a half gallons total volume I added yeast nutrient one teaspoon per...

I didn't even think about being so thanks for the tip. But I just got off the phone with them and it doesn't look promising. The people that weld for them are part of their commercial business and it may not be worth their time. I'm only looking to get three fittings welded. Who knows maybe...

I've not been around for a long time, life kind of gets in the way. I've got the itch to brew again. Back then I was getting parts together to upgrade from Brewing on the stove. I've got two 15 and 1/2 gallon stainless steel kegs that I need help with sanitary TIG welding. I've reached out to a...
