    New to winemaking

    I do a lot of crap wine from bottled juices. Minimum of 3 months from adding yeast before even thinking of trying it. Age helps. Preferably 6 or more months. Just my opinion as a fairly inexperienced wine maker.

    For your friend........

    can I ask this question?

    I do not. Something I read, and my old tired brain whispering in my ear, that once the alcohol reaches 30% the liquid stops wanting to freeze. And again, I could be wrong.

    My first cider need help

    One pack of yeast can do up to six gallons. If you use 1/4-1/2 a pack then you'll get a good strong colony straight out of the gate. As for the tannins, I am still trying g to figure out how much is enough.

    "Crazy" Idea!

    Tell him to go for it. But do a small batch so if it goes south it's not a total loss.

    Problems fermenting cran-raspberry juice

    I do this mix regularly. I dilute it by half. Half gallon juice, half gallon water. Comes out perfect every time. I also do cran BlackBerry and cran pomegranate. Any cranberry needs to be diluted.
