Hmm 2 threads I posted on and both times Arpolis has taught me something new. :)

Thx Saramc

I noticed you dropped the 6 camden tablets on day 1, I thought ya dropped 1 to kill off bad yeast and bacteria and then 1 per gallon on stabilizing. Or am I wrong, sorry, I'm new to wine making.

If its in a tea bag just leave it in the bag

Try tossing in a crushed Campden tablet. And wait a day or 2 to see if that helps.

grape concentrate, I'm new to wine making can ya tell? lol

ok I got an update I changed the light bulb in the kitchen so its not so dull looking and after realizing the bottle has a blueish tone to it ( Better bottle) I have found that my wine is still in fact red. today I racked it over to a new better bottle , but racked it onto benzonite and campden...

The strong alcohol taste will mellow out some with time, the sourness is because it has fermented all the sugars in it, after you hit it with campden tablets and potassium sorbate you can back sweeten it then, for more info on back sweetening just check out some of the other threads on here...

catch em in strawberry wine let em get drunk on it then dip em in chocolate for halloween treets ;)

lol sux I am broke I just found all the muscadine grapes I could want for $1 lb locally on craigslist

Do you have a larger primary bucket to rack back into then rack back to your 6 gal after it has been cleaned and sanitized? This isn't ideal in what I have read so far (I'm new to wine making also) but it looks to me like your in a fix.
