Just grabbed a taste of it.. tasted a bit weird - rich and pretty sweet - sort of like a dessert wine; but I couldn't really taste any alcohol. I don't have a hydrometer so that makes this pretty much a guess... any ideas/thoughts? I don't think the fermentation was stuck. It's been bubbling...

I have some welches juice wine brewing for about 2 1/2 months now. There are still a very small amount of bubbles being produced - mostly up the side of the better bottle. Is it okay to bottle? Any use in waiting? I would like it to be at least slightly carbed so I figured the bubbling would do...

I can't stress the improvement in taste from a bottle that was opened 5 weeks after starting the batch to a bottle that was opened about 11 weeks. You can definitely taste the impurities vanishing and the wine tastes much more clear and refined. If I didn't drink so fast, I'd love to taste this...

started something similar about 10 days ago.. 5 gallons great value cranberry grape juice 7 lbs cane sugar (accidentally added 7lbs - don't ask..) red star pasteur red yeast nutrient bubbling good..going to sample and probably bottle at around 6 weeks

Funny, I just picked up 5gals of Walmarts cran-grape. Tastes pretty good. I also was caution about the fumaric acid but a quick google search said what malkore said - seems like nothing at all to worry about. i also landed on an article that stated that some wine brewers intentionally add it...

I bottled mine at 1 month and started drinking it at 1 month and 24 minutes. It's alright for quick homebrewed wine..definitely don't love it..

@brazedowl: I think I like your recipe for Cranberry grape but have a few questions. You say 5 containers of Cranberry concentrate - do those usually come in the same size containers? Anything without preservatives will do? You say 7 containers of Grape juice - what size? Juice or...

Thanks a lot everyone. I'll definitely try these out.

Thanks for the responses. I'm clearly new to this. What's the closest I can get to my *requirements*? If I have to sacrifice, so be it... Any suggestions? Any good recipes? Thanks

Hey, First-time brewer here - new to HBT... For my first batch I'm doing Edwort's Apfelwein. That should be done in about 10 days. So, I'm trying to plan out what's going to fill my 5-gal next. Looking for: Fruitless (just juices or something easily bought from the store) Not...

First attempt at wine marking with this recipe. Seems like it's going to be great. Getting a little worried now.. It's officially day 13 and the bubbles out of the airlock went from about 1 every 3-4 seconds to 1 every ~1 minute. The wine hasn't changed color since and there is nothing in...
