    Hey, I have a 5 Gal batch of peach wine going now. I had just got my press so I used it on this
    batch. The peaches were not too overly ripe so I did not get alot of juice. But so far, so
    good.

  • Posted in thread: Peach wine - what do I do now? on 01-29-2010 at 11:31 PM
    I have noticed that if you don't mix the pot sorbate so that it is completly dissolved it will
    cause a haze when you add it back to the batch. And it can be a pain to get dissolved. I

  • Posted in thread: What the heck is that?!? on 09-19-2009 at 09:22 PM
    I had that happen with my muscadine last year. What I gathered was that is tartric acid or
    "wine crystals" as previously mentioned. The way I understand it is, those crystals actually

    Any fairly cool spot with fairly stable temps will work. One suggestion I might add is to spend

    about mak...

    EC Kraus has a list of recipes on their website. I have made some really good wine using those

    I usually sweeten after about 3.5-4 months then after a week or two I bottle. I usually started
    drinking my wine as soon as I bottle it. My wine is usually very good at 4 months but it only
    gets bette...
