Looks great. I am actually surprised at how little color there is. I thought you would have had to use super clear or bentonite but man you let it naturally clear according to the blog. Very cool.

It actually has more color than the picture shows, there just wasn't enough of the wine in the glass to notice it. This is what it looks like bottled: http://instagram.com/p/oWP6IllVf9/
Tonight is the night to backsweeten, I'm thinking about using agave nectar but I'm not sure how much any suggestions, or comments on how it tastes from someone who had used it?
finally ready to be bottled after 18 months of mellowing out the intense sourness of the lime.
hello test
Outstanding first post!!:fro:
Served some at Father's Day celebration yesterday, big hit..
Ok, first off I would like to say thank all the forum members for all the knowledge I have gained over the past few weeks.
This is my issue: I mixed up a batch of SP Thurs, Pitched the yeast starter Friday . By Saturday there appeared to be no activity(SG 1070) so I gave it a good whisking and a couple of hours later there was thick layer of foam on top, whisked again, and by Sunday morning things seemed to be moving right along. So Sunday night I decide to check the SG.(to see if it was time for the added amounts of nutrients and energizer). Well, wouldn't ya know it, I broke my hydrometer (that Star San is slippery stuff) . I can"t get new hydrometer until Tues. afternoon.
So, should I go ahead and add the nutrients and energized today, Monday? ( I have no idea what the SG might be), or should I wait until i tomorrow afternoon when my hydrometer arrives?
Thank you for any and all advice.
My batches attenuate at a constant rate of .01 per day so if it was 1.070 yesterday Id wait till tomorrow.
Ok thank you.
However I have no idea what the SG was yesterday, as that is the day i broke my hydrometer. The 1070 reading was from Saturday afternoon.
So assuming .01 per day is correct, It may be time add the nutrients and energizer now?
You should be OK to do so.
Ok. Thank you for your help. It is much appreciated.
In most of my SP batches, I missed the 1.030 mark for second addition, adding it as late as 1.010 or even 1.002. All the batches turned out fine, and you will have the new hydrometer long before it clears, so dont worry.
SP is hard to screw up as long as you are patient about letting it clarify after adding sulphites
Here's a pic of my latest batch. I love this stuff and really don't see the need of the sparkelloid. Seems to me it clears just fine on its own.
I've had it uncleared before also and its tasty all the same
Aging skeeter pee and putting it into wine bottles is definitely feigning sophistication. Sort of sounds like prisoners trying to compare their hooch to Amarone.
Hey guys. Making my first batch of this stuff. This thread is an awesome resource and everything is going swimmingly thanks to the 200+ pages of discussion here.
I've had it bubbling away for about 2 weeks and I'm pretty excited to taste the final product.
I recommend starting your next one as soon as you bottle this one!
I'm making two more batches of this soon, I'm thinking of doing one with Jack Daniels barrel chips and one with jalapenos. I love jalapeno lemonade
How would distillers yeast work for skeeter pee? I am considering using it and possibly freeze fortifying.
