I had all my equipment empty, all was kegged. I thought to myself "why am I not fermenting something?"
I went to the store, bought a case of Seneca frozen apple juice concentrate (only ascorbic acid added). Added my awesome well water to make 6 gallons. Added 5 lbs of brown sugar, 1.5 pounds honey and checked the potential alcohol...it was low, so I added dextrose till it hit the 12% mark. Added sulfites and pitched yeast 2 days later. It started bubbling in 24 hours. Here is the question: Why is it still bubbling a month later? My home juiced fresh apple and pear wines only fermented for a week! Whats up? I have tasted it and checked gravity...its going, but whats with the difference in time all about?
