Can I use Torani Syrup to back sweeten wine? Right now I have a batch of watermelon and strawberry going but I think it will need some back sweeten and I would rather have more watermelon taste then strawberry.

When you do degassing --- You do this a day to a week after when the yeast is done and you have re-racked and added whatever you chose to add as the stabilizer to keep the yeast inactive. Then let it rest for a few days to resettle and re-rack then add, if not waiting for time, the...

If you must bottle in 2 weeks I would rack it add the stabilizer and Do the Degassing now over 24-72 hours careful not to make tunnels in the wine as you do the stirring so to limit the the O. then add your clearyifier and let set for at least a week.

so its a 6gal kit and you made it only 5gal? Many will say just leave it be like that(specially if one of the cheaper kits) I personally would do the top off when you rack it for the second ferment.

what jgmillr1 said to get rid of the less

I personally when doing kits (which is what I mainly do) 14 days 1st ferm 14-21 days second(no bubbling and SG below 1.00) then the 3rd rack if Im in a hurry (which now that I have a decent supply Im not anymore (well not as much lol) 7 days of doing the degassing and stopping of the yeast...

yes lol

Granted Im not nearly as experienced as some of the other members but 5 days for 1st fermentation sounds a bit short specially when adding real fruit and not just concentrate. All the recipes Ive used do at least a week. and then a second fermentation still not adding the potassium of...

Curious (as I just did a rack of my batch and tasted... it was good for only month) how is yours coming

I hope just thought it matched yours a bit (though I will have to try next time some canned fruit(I thought cause of the perseveres they were a no go)

I make my wine from kits and am no expert but I double the instruction time line.

Stir the wine fast but do not form a vortex some use a degassing tool and a drill 30 sec -1 min one way let rest for a min or two repeat in opposite direction. thoughought the day -3 days till you have a low level of bubles forming. My sister who is downsyndrme played with both of my degassing...

I make wine from the 28 day kits and while I dont have the space to have more then one kit going therefore I also dont really have the time to give them a year to bulk age I double the printed directions in general and that seems to be enough that Im happy and my family is happy with the...
