Thanks, so did I...LOL

So I did a gallon batch of this in January. I just added the sorbate and campden tablet. It has been sitting in a dark closet for 4 months, it tasted great and strong. I made a noob mistake and did not get the fg reading. Tomorrow I plan to bottle so I'll get the reading tomorrow. My question...

How much sorbate for a 1 gal batch?

You recommend stabilizing, what does that mean? Sorry but I'm a noob when it comes to wine being this is my first attempt. At the end of March it will be two months. Do I bottle at that point? How long does it have to sit in bottle before you recommend serving it? Do you have to add anything...

Finally found blood oranges, looks like I'll be making this soon. I just bottled a batch with navel oranges. I infused the bottling sugar with fresh ginger, did this last time and it gave it a nice taste.

Thank you Brazedowl! I will move into secondary today and let it clear. Being a beer brewer, I have plenty of bottles so I will use this method of bottling when ready. I'll update then.

After you move it to secondary, how long should you wait to bottle? You said 1-2 months .what came out better? How long should it sit in bottle before you drink it? The big question is when can you drink it?

I've done this recipe a few times now. I can not find blood oranges, so I always use other types. I tweaked the recipe a bit and add tangerines, Clementines, extra hops and Irish moss just to clear it out a little bit. Comes out great every time. I'm on a mission to find the ever so elusive...

I'm going to try a test batch today of 1 gallon. Has anyone used a different sugar then white, like corn sugar?

After 6 weeks in the bottle, it cleared up a lot. When I cracked one open at 3 weeks you could not see through at all. At the 5 week mark it looked much clearer and tasted even better. Inspired by this recipe, i plan on making my own and will share it with you all soon. Once I know it turns...

Brazedowl, If I wanted to scale this down to 1 gal, what do I do about the Tablets of nutient and energizer and then the yeast? Do you still use a full tablets and all the yeast? I thought I would try this on a smaller scale before the 5 gal plunge. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the response. I will give this a go soon and will report back.

Thanks for the answers! Missing one though, What temp does this have to ferment at?

What is tbls of nutrient? also what temp does this have to sit at? I was looking for an easy wine to get started in wine making, this looks like the one. i like that you give options to make it our own. As a beer brewer and never having done a wine before, I'm going to try this recipe. Does...

I never did find Blood oranges, however I used Cara Cara instead. It came out awesome. The orange flavor is not overwhelming but definitely noticeable. :mug::mug::mug:This is a beer I will continue to brew, and when I do fine those blood oranges I will buy as many as I can and freeze them for...

Going to bottle the brew tomorrow. Will post a pic of the color and some notes.

would love a code please!:mug:

I can not wait to try this recipe. I've read all the posts and took the notes. I will post pics and comments when I brew this later in the week! Thank you for the recipe!

Thank you Slipgate! Gonna give this a go

What should the sg be? OG and FG please? I need to make a beer the wife will like and this looks like the one! Also do you need to add sugar for the bottling stage to carbonate? Thanks!
