Finished the SP today but its a real pale yellow. Almost looks like water in a glass but tastes great. Could the sparkaloid stripped color?

I'm in North Versailles.

I used super kleer on my strawberry wine. I waited three weeks then racked into 1 gal jugs for aging. Looking at my jugs today I noticed a slight layer of sediment. I was pretty careful when I racked. Has anyone had this kind of result with super kleer?

Sounds great. What area do you generally meet up? I'm about 12 miles east of the city.

Are their any Pittsburgh are wine making groups/clubs?

Well mine is crawling slowly but surely. It's down to .998 but I'm going to see if it'll keep going. Lime sp is at 1.012 in primary. I'm going to wait till under 1.01 to move it to secondary. Next batch is going to be strawberry started off my strawberry slurry and I'm going to put 5lb of...

I typoed it was 1.002 to 1.001 in 4 days.

Concerned about my sp. I was @ 1.02 4 days ago was concerned I was stuck degassed and added 2 tsp of super ferment. Take a reading today 1.01 ish. Suggestions?

I added the extra bottle and nutrients at 1.050 and moved to secondary three days later

Elmer it took my SP with no slurry a good 7 days to rock and roll.

Just sweetened up one gallon. I can't wait. But I can tell the difference in just a week or so of aging. Still can't get the pictures right side up.

Concerned I'm stuck. Been 4 days and I went from 1.01 to 1.002. I degassed and gave it 2 tsp of super ferment. Should I just have left it alone? Or was this a good move?

I wanted to degass it to make sure it wasn't stuck and that the bubbling wasn't residual co2. It has slowed down but still going. Probably take a reading tonight.

Checked it today. 1.010 degassed it and its bubbling along so I think everything is good. Lime Skeeter pee started tonight.
