I did take several readings during this period. At 1 week it was around 1.04. I then racked into carboy from bucket. For the next few weeks I keep checking and it stayed around 1.02. 2 weeks after that it was down to .99. This is where it has set for about two weeks. I then racked and Added in...

Whats the 15lbs tunas? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Can anyone help/explain why my strawberry wine taste horrible. I used a can of vinters harvest and fermented all the way down to dry. This took about 1 month and a half. I then racked and hit it with three campden tablets to start killing off yeast. At just over two months it was getting really...

I do plan on back sweetening. That's why I grabbed the sorbate. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So far I have been fermenting strawberry wine. The fermentation stopped all the way dry at .9. I racked wine to a new carboy and added 3 crushed campden tablets to the 3 gallon batch. I have ordered potassium sorbate, stabilizer, sparkoloid, and extracts. My question is being only two moths...

Where can a guy find a wide array of extract flavors

Ok so strawberry wine is finally sitting at .9, but has a strong yeasty taste and smell. I have not added anything, no racked again since secondary fermentation. What should I do to help with this taste. I estimate it to be bout 3 months at this point. If stabilized with camp den tabs will...

Not much foam as of yet. Still fermenting a bit but nearing the end as the airlock is bubbling slowly. What would you top off with? Water? White wine? I don't really wanna diminish the taste to much.

Well racked off of raisins and into a fresh sterile carboy. Had a little taste and man it's a potent alcohol taste right now lol. I do however get hints of carrot. Gravity is sitting around 1.015 currently. I will let it go dry and back sweeten to taste. I will also play with some extracts if...

Well this is the second time in two days I have went up to check wine and found my airlock full of wine and overflowing. Yesterday I poured a bit out till it was about 2" below rubber stopper and today it's completely full again. What should I do to fix this.

Well, I'm not sure how long i plan on fermenting. Probably let it got till bubbles slow way down and test it. Currently there is a definite carrot taste but I'm sure it will fade. This is a first for me so I'm in uncharted waters. Thinking that around .99 to 1.00 i will rack off the raisins and...

I used red star. Little worried haven't seen any bubbles yet.

Whoops... After reading the carrot wine thread i figured i had to do it. I tried to read between the posts for more specifics but this is what I ended up doing. 4# organic carrots ran through food processor. 2# organic light brown sugar 2 cinnamon sticks 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 pound raisins...

Well after seeing

How much cinnamon and nut meg would y'all add for a 1 gallon batch?

Thanks. I guess I'll give it about two weeks in this carboy and then test again.

Here is a picture. Does it look to full?

Just started my first batch ever of wine. To start out i used a 96oz can of vinters reserve strawberry base with about 7lb of sugar. After all was mixed into my primary fermenter (food grade bucket with airlock) i was at 15% possible alcohol, and sg of 1.110. Today i checked sg and was at...
