Mine turned out ok but I'll tell you, I didn't even add all the sugar that was called for and I still ended up making rocket fuel. Anyone thinking about making this stuff, I would add half the sugar and take a reading before adding the other half.

Josh, I had the same exact issue. Re-pitched and it started again. It took FOREVER to finish though.

So after a stalled fermentation, I re-pitched. This thing took FOREVER to finish. Probably went several weeks. Here is a photo just 1 day after adding Super-Kleer. I was shocked how quickly and well it worked.

Here's an update. I added more yeast nutrient and yeast energizer. I also gave it a real good stir. That night I also made a new yeast starter. The next evening I added the yeast to my bucket. The following day I racked it to my carboy and warmed it up a bit with a heating pad. The following...

Some Advice Needed: Like a number of others on this thread, my fermentation stalled out at around 1.050. With that said, the starting gravity was WAY up there over 1.100. Seems that where it sits now there is a decent amount of alcohol. Can I sorbate and be done with it or should I make another...

I'm curious about this and hopefully someone with much more experience than me can answer. Would losing the airlock for a few days really cause that much oxidation? I am currently stirring everyday and let the bucket top just rest on the bucket without snapping it down. I though this was...

I'm thinking that the recipe on this site is off in regards to the amount of sugar needed. I started a 3 gallon batch and only used 4 pounds of sugar instead of the 6 3/4 pounds that was called for and I still ended up with an SG about the same as yours. As for the gooey mess I chose to just...

Hey Runningwolf. Did you ever make that second batch of Skittle Wine? I got my going last night. This morning it's got that nasty crust on top. Yum :h I think the recipe listed on this site though is off on the sugar. Instead of using 7 pounds (for 3 gallons) as the recipe called for, I used...

That's the one Harley. I've never been to the meetings at Mr. Steve's but maybe now is a good time to start. I'll be the new guy there :h

Thanks for the warm welcome Thanks everyone! So far this has been a really fun hobby. I got my start by visiting Mr. Steve's in York harleydmn. We also have one here in Camp Hill. Cindy, the winery where I got my juice from is in Forest Hill, MD not too far from the state line. They seem...

New to this forum and new to wine making. I'm from the Harrisburg, PA area. This past April I picked up a 6 gallon bucket of Chilean Muscat juice as my first attempt at making wine. It's fermented out well and is currently aging in the carboy. I've also just recently started a batch of...

Hey everyone. I'm getting ready to start a 3 gallon batch tonight. Managed to pick up 3 pounds of Skittles at K-Mart for just under 9 bucks. 3 - 16.8 ounce packages for $2.99 each. After hearing everyone rave about this I figure I have to try it.
