I have a grape/blackberry going now. Prob os I dont think its a goo idea to strain out the fruir and put it in the the skeeter pee. Not sure how to get the yeast iff if this ine to use...though a hint of blackberry sounds good. Im on day 2 of my Blackberry fermintation.

I dont mind waiting if it will save money.... BUT i dont want that nasty egg smell peps say can happen... that is my main worry.

Learned a lot here. The Raspberry batch was stabilized and back sweetened per advise given i have about 9 days more to wait to bottel. Yooper....how long can wine sit in the secondary after I have done this? Would it hurt if I wait a month or two before I bottel?

Ok. Guess i should have googeled it. Thank you. Seems my hbs doesnt carry it. Do you think i can skip it? Replace it with something else? Or is it best to search the net for a place that carries it and not mess with the recepie?

What is Sparkolloid? I want to do a batch of skeeter pee.....said i need Sparkolloid. I searched my hbs and they dont have it.

14 cans red grape consontrate. 3 bottels of 46oz blackberry juice. 5 lbs blackberries. I have 1 to 2 cans consontrate and 1 more black berry juice to backsweeten if need be. Added enough sugaer to go to 1.1. Could add like 4 or 5 more lbs sugar here if you think i should.

Is this too strong? 1.100 is what my must measured. It says it will prob be about 14% I do plan to back sweet'n with juice at the end....so should bring that down a tad. I would add water but in out of room. Added yeast nutes and pitching yeast.

I have been able to use #9 corks with my hand corker. I do get a tad damage to the top of the cork but nothing that would hurt the seal.

Project 2 looks clear. Nice rose color. I racked it again last night..... almost no lees on this one. I back sweetened...add potassium sorbate....and 5 campdin tabs put lid back on and now it sits... was gonna bottel it in 11 days and put in my basement......how long can it sit like this in...

Anybody ever do a watermelon wine? Or a cantaloupe wine? Do they taste very good?

I do have yeast nutrient i can add. Was looking at doing 6 gallons with that recipe. Should I add 2 more cans grape juice,

Was thinking 12 cans red grape. 4 bottels of tge blackberry and 5 lbs of berries.....and like 3 or 4lbs sugar? Im guessing.

Red

What is enrgizer and nutrients I kinda think the nutrients is self explanatory... food to help the yeast but what is the enrgizer? I have nutrients but no energizer. Was gonna try to do a batch with just nutrients.

5-6 gallons

So you agree. Blackberry/Grape. Do youthink I have enough to do it with the jucie I have and the 5 lbs of berries? Should I buy more blackberries? Ok... no oak.

I did my invintory. I have the following: 22 cans of grape frozen consontrate juice. 4 bottels welches farmers choice black berry juice 48oz each 30 lbs sugar 5 bags 1lb frozen black berries Pectin enzyme Campdin tabs Potassium sorbate No other adutives. This is screaming...

K-sorbate and Potassium Sorbate are same? Use Sorbate to "kill" yeast? AND once yeast is dead, the sweet will stay in wine... but how do you carbonate and keep sweet in? If you need yeast cells to carbonate, dont they keep going till surgar is gone...or till top blows?

Please explain this to me. If I add juice/sugar to back sweeten wine...I understand I add to wine and wait 10 to 11 days then bottel. But I am reading on the hard lemonaid...they add sugar...and bottel to carbonate. How does it carbonate one and not the other. How long does it take to...

Thank you. My first batch was strong enough to put my buddies wif on her butt with only 2 glasses. Ill try to be better down the road.
