100% juice.

I made a five gallon batch of cranberry wine, using Ed Wort's recipe but simply substituting Ocean Spray Cranberry juice for the apple juice, and using regular sugar. I put this in the carboy on 9/22 and just sampled it a few moments ago. It's delicious. Sweet but not too sweet with a tangy...

I have five gallons of cranberry juice (ocean spray), and 2 lbs of regular sugar with montrachet yeast and it's still bubbling after more than a month! I'm calling mine CRAN.

I copied this recipe but used cranberry juice and regular domino sugar. This was mixed up on Sept 22 (5 gal better bottle) and more than a month later and my airlock is still bubbling every 40 seconds or so. Anyone have something ferment this long? My apfelwein didn't bubble this long.. I...

Just bottled my cranberry wine today, and after corking four bottles, had just enough to almost fill a grolsch bottle. What looked clear in the water jug, was in reality, "almost clear". Not cloudy like the first batch I made (and bottled after only 2 weeks!!). I labeled my bottles and braced...

How did this welches oaking experiment come out? I have some welches in secondary right now, and a bag of oak cubes came in the mail today. I am new. Can I just put a few of them in there, or do I have to "sanitize them" somehow?

Five gallons started last night.. It's finally bubbling this morning. I panicked and put in a second packet of yeast, because I got no action for the first 3 hours. I probably should have waited it out, but seems to be going fine now-

Hi, I'm super new, and had this question too. I bought both. Both say Campden tablets. All the recipes I've read say campden tablets. Is this just a diet coke / diet pepsi difference? I don't like sodium, but I don't know if I like potassium.. Seriously, are they interchangeable? Why...

Wrap-around label tapes to itself for easy re-use and management.

Apfelwein labels for my batch.

My white house apple juice jugs have a 7 and a 5 on the bottom. Yikes. I don't even want the apple juice sitting in there much longer... Hope the Better Bottle comes in tomorrow- I was just wondering if anyone puts their finished wines back into the one gallon glass Rossi bottle? Maybe for...

[/URL][/IMG] Thanks for the tip. Here is my label, with the high class set up visible behind. The second picture shows how it's taped. I'm sure you all can figure that out, but I had the time, since I was just staring at four bubbling jugs. E If the pictures didn't work out...

Hello! I am a noob, with two gallons of welches under my belt. So far the labels are better than the wine, but they really sell it. Funny, everyone who sampled my wine said the same thing: "It's not BAD.." Is it possible to post pictures without them already being online? Just...

Thanks for the link! I'll be trying some beer recipes after my wine experiments are over. I realize as I stare at 4 bubbling plastic capsules and drink my cheap carlo rossi (ONLY to empty the bottle for future use..) that this website is a valuable and fun way to pass the time during the...

I'm currently making some grape juice wine in a one gallon water jug. Grape juice, 2 1/2 cups of sugar dissolved in water and half of a champagne yeast packet. This is only my second batch ever. I ordered a better bottle and will be making apfelwein by Wednesday night.. My question is, how...

Hello all, I've just gotten into the hobby this summer, after seeing a friends set up. My first project was to make two gallons of wine in 1 gallon water jugs out of grape concentrate, sugar, water, and wine yeast. No secondary fermentation! It did have a bit of a bread aftertaste, and I...
