  Should have updated but other things have had me tied up for the last week or so. Thanks to all
  that replied - Always good to ask the experts. It must have been a temp issue in the room I use

  Hey Bluerdg a couple of things. What is the temp because SP can be a little harder to get
  started it might just be that, even though the one next to it kicked right off. Temp is a bit
  lower than I'd l...

  I followed Lon's recipe, but I didn't have a slurry so I made a starter from a recipe I found
  online. The starter set for 3 days and I thought it was mor e than adequate but apparently not.

  I did a strawberry wine that was extremely gassy - it seemed like it degassed forever.I read a

  experienc...

  The recipe I have said to rack for clearing when SG reached 1.000 so maybe I mis-spoke when I
  said I was stopping it at .994 (with my limited knowledge that's what I thought I was doing
  when I started...

  Learning more everyday. The SG when I tried to stop it was 0.996, SG today was 1.004. I'll
