Is the wine you have going right now with the 1118 a juice wine or are you using fruit?[/QUOTE]


When I use concentrate, I always add some fruits. Say I do grape concentrate, well I add a few pounds of store bought grapes. But the last batch I did, I used the secondary and only used juice.
 
Problem solved. Yooper your a hobby saviour. Boiling was the reason I was getting these infections and now I have 12 gallons going. I racked my batch that was in me primary today and it was nice. Smelled like juice with a little alcohol, but no sour vomit smells so I guess my primary is salvageable. Big thank you to Yooper I'm just so happy… oh and I had banana wine from your recipe going for a few months which I though was infected, sadly I noticed it was nice while I was poring it down the toilet. I juste never had added the raisins yet though so it smelled almost like vodka. I'll have to try this once more ;)
