Wine seems to be more temperamental than all the beers I have made. I have done two meads(first one was good not great), tried a apple cider, cheap welches grape juice, and a skeeter pee. Out of all of these I get almost the same off flavors. Bitter, and possibly Astringency... And of course alcoholic. But my tastes buds aren't as sensitive.
My theory is possible the waters ph.. Believe tap is 7.2-7.5. But thought that would only effect extracting tannins form grains and grape skins. My sanitizing is great... And all these recipes are simple sugars... Some I had sitting almost 6months to 1 1/2 years and still tastes just as bad.
This is more for gathering ideas and thoughts from everyone. Thank you.
