Bumping up in case you have some suggestions. Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your message. I made a slurry adding a cup or so at a time until I had about 16 cups. It sat for about 24 hours before I pitched it. In the first 16 days it went from 1.080 to 1.036, so it was doing well. It stalled when I transferred to the Carboy. The recipe is: 10 cans of...

Hi, I have a lemonade that has stalled. Here are the particulars October 23, 2011: added slurry of two yeast packs. Reading was 1.080 November 12, 2011: racked to Carboy. Reading was 1.036. Racked a bit early as I was going to be away from home for a while. December 2, 1011: reading is...

Bump

Bump :-)

Thanks for your replies. Temp is at about 68 to 70. In the beginning I had used two packs of yeast and made a slurry. What happens if it does not start again? Can I just let it clear and drink it? If my original reading was 1.080 and is now at 1.038 does that give me an alcohol reading of...

Hi, My hard lemonade is now in the Carboy; it has been there for a week. Since then the reading has not changed. It is stuck at 1.038. What do you suggest I do?

I'm making some hard lemonade. From October 23 to November 2 it was in a bucket covered with a cloth. I stirred daily. It went from 1.080 to 1.050. On November 2 I put the cover on the bucket and put an airlock on it. I was away from home until today. I checked it today and it's at 1.042. I...

Hi, I started a hard Lemonade on October 23. Gravity was at 1.080 on that day. I have been stirring daily and it is in a bucket, covered with a cloth. Yesterday and today (November 1) it was at 1.052. Today I added a bit of nutrient and energizer. My dilemma is I leave on November 3 and not...

Perfect! Thanks for your help.

When would you suggest we stop stirring and air lock. Can we do that at 1.040?

I'm making a hard lemonade. I'm wondering if It's better to rack to secondary early or late? I will be away for about 6 days. Someone will be able to stir each day but not rack it. I estimate it will be at 1.040 when I leave and about 1.018 when I get back. It's currently in a bucket with...

Hi, just wondering if anyone ever added cut lemons in their skeeter pee or hard lemonade during the first few days of fermentation to give more lemon flavor

Hi al, I'm making a blueberry wine. It is throwing a lot of lees. Can I rack it before it is done fermenting or should I wait until it is completely done? Thanks

In December I will get 5 gallons of apple juice from a local orchard. Any suggestions on what I could make? My wife and I like a medium-dry wine. I also would not mind trying to make a dessert wine. I don't think I have ever had an apple cider and wonder if that is any different than wine...

Bryan, Do you mean right now or when the fermentation is done?

Thanks for your posts. It will be interesting for sure. I thought if I added more berries at this point I may increase the alcohol content: I prefer not to do that. Not really sure what to do. I need to rack it into a Carboy tonight, it's around 1.025 or so.

Hi, I made a blueberry wine one week ago with about 15 pounds of blueberries and added about 3 to 4 pounds of raisins. When I taste it I find it has a nice taste but taste more like the raisins than the blueberries. For those who have similar wines, do you know if the blueberries will dominate...

Hi boo boo How do you determine 60% acid. What percent of alcohol does that leave you with. I will back sweeten as well. I would like to have a medium-dry finish My blueberries are freezing. Cant wait to get the batch going. How long from beginning until you drank your first bottle...

Thanks for sharing your recipe, much appreciated. Just wondering if you used campden tablets in the beginning?
