I will degass and see what happens. I have never gotten any ph test strips. Thanks. Maybe it has gone as far as it can and will be a weak batch?

I started my pee on 7-10. The starting sg was 1.080. On 7-17 I added last bottle of lemon juice, energizer, and yeast food. It was bubbling right along. I forgot about it and checked the sg yesterday and it is on 1.010 and is not doing anything. What should I do next?

I do have a hydrometer. The grape concentrate wine was not all that bad. I had it written down and took several readings till it was finished. Cant find it anywhere. Don't remember what they were.... maybe I did not let it age enough. The skeeterpee and aphelwein were bad. I have my oiley wine...

I do not know how this batch will turn out. I do not know what happened to the aphelwein. The peach brandy happened years ago. My recipe for the wine is from a 75 year old man. I wonder if he is holding information from me? I accused him of it!! His wine is dang good. 12 cans off welsh 100%...

Well, I am on my 4th wine making. I did skeeterpee, red grape concentrate, and some peach brandy that tasted like yuck. Also did Aphelwein that was terrible. I am about to believe that I am cursed on making wine. I have had a white grape concentrate going for 2.5 months. I have read where u can...

Count me in, this would be nice.

I was going to start another batch of wine but the weather is cold. I keep my house between 60 and 68 in the winter. Is this temp ok for making wine?

Found the answer to my on ec kraus. Thanks for the help.

Ok, got u on the wine, should I add campden tablets to the apfelwein?

I have my first batch of apfelwein ready to bottle, do I use campden tablets when I put it in jugs, will it have to be refrigerated? It is not going to be bottled in wine bottles, I washed out the jugs that the juice came in and will be using those. Also, I have wine that I started with grape...

Should the final reading be between .995 and .998 like skeeterpee?

You are right of course. I found the paper that came with the hydrometer, it was 1.130 at start and 1.018 yesterday when I checked it. Is it finished working off? Still no activity in the airlock.

I am having a hard time with reading this confounded thing,,,The specific gravity was 1.300 when I started. I have a wine thief on order, had a hard time taking samples with the skeeter pee so I ordered one. I did add some water to it after I put it in the second fermentation. I may not should...
