Well guys, OG was 1.08, 3 days in im at 1.06, seems to be going a bit slower then most others in this thread but not sure if the 5 gallon batch will just take a bit longer than the 1 gallon batches... No reason to be concerned I guess, still getting good airlock activity, its just not wild

my issue isnt really how clear or cloudy it is. Its how much yeast I am going to suck through the spigot when bottling the first 5 bottles if I dont siphon it out, clean the bottling bucket, and siphon it back.

Just started a one gallon batch, really looking forward to it, plan on aging for a long time before consuming and will likely do 2-3 more batches before I get a chance to taste the first.... such is life though right?

I know this post was forever ago but I did the recipe tonight except with cranberry grape (welches) and intentionally upped my OG to roughly 1.118-1.12. I used the exact same yeast and am hoping my yeast chokes out around 1.010 or 1.015, Looking to have a nice sweet wine that packs a...

I believe so. I'd like to add sugar to sweeten and bottle it, then leave for 3-4 days. And the pasteurize. I am not particular about how much carbonation, just not much. Really just a touch of sparkle. Will 3 days suffice and not be to much?

I have 3 one gallon batches going that I have moved to secondary after almost 3 weeks in primary. There is not a bit of sugar left In it and I am wanting to sweeten to taste and carbonate for a couple days and than heat pasteurize per the sticky in this forum. Using frozen cans of concentrate...
