I was sad with my first wine. Thought all kinds of things were wrong. Welches wine...not even a kit. After 3 weeks in bottels it is night and day differance. All my friends loved it.....no bottels left to go 6 months. Now...im on a 2nd batch. Rasberry version. It is clearing now....Cant wait...
...im a tad ocd...if I have to toss it in trash abd be 1 short a case ....it will bug the **** out of me...same if i buy a wine and just replace it with a diff bottel.
No on the gravity reading sorry.
Recipe was kind of a Frankenstein deal. I mixed White Grape along with Grape/Raspberry juice cans. I seem to remember I used about 4-5 cans of the White Grape/Raspberry and like 4/5 cans of White Grape. I also took 5 lbs. of frozen raspberries and put them...
... do you not worry about droping them in and it cracking the glass? Is this for smallger jugs only? Say I have a 6 gal carboy.... can I put 6lbs of marbles in there? Just dump em in?
Any ideas on how to go about doing a cherry wine? Where to get some jucie? I can mix it with white grape.
About my only source would be Cherry Pie Filling in cans...with no corn surgars etc.
Any have a Recipe for a Cherry flavored wine of some kind?
After my first Rack. I noticed the smell was a tad off from my first batch of wine (pure grape). Took it the smell was that way because of real fruit in there.
I uncovered and can see a LOT of crap at bottom of the carboy.....time to rack again... BUT I also notice a lil bit of foam at the...
Noob question....on my 5gal carboy.....I back sweetend 3 days ago. I have the volume about 1" away from the air lock.
I REALLY wanna try a good glass of this.... should I fight the tempation or would it be ok to pull say.... a good wine theifes fill off it (would create more air in there).
I have had it sit over a month before I racked it.....I cant tell you how bad I want to pull a bottle out tonight.....
ALSO any that can address my concerns on the raspberry wine....I'm still worried about this.
Well... I looked at my air locks. There are no bubbles going....so it has been more then 24hrs since i back sweented.... is there anything I need to worry about or can I just go for it in a few days and bottel?
So yesterday I elected to rack my Welches Grape yesterday. This was the 2nd racking. THIS TIME it was "CLEAR". Looked great! I lost about 1 bottle worth off the bottom do to what had settled. I placed all of this into another bottle to see if I can get it to settle again to get a few more...
