Yeah definitely not just the glass. I'm going to place a full bottle in the fridge tonight and see if I get the same results. It certainly doesn't effect the taste and it doesn't create any "texture" to the wine.
Bottled my tropical blend dragon blood yesterday. Naturally, I had some left over. Placed it in a regular glass and in the refrigerator. Went to drink it some time later and noted a heavy haze in the glass. The wine was perfectly clear in the bottle. Anyone have this occur with the tropical...
Jack Keller's site is very good. Sometimes light on fruit and high ABV so watch the hydrometer readings instead of cookbook recipes. Also, the recipes leave out some steps that it is assumed you already know about the wine making process. He has 30 or so dandelion recipes, I use #20 however...
I started a 3 gallon batch of dandelion wine a few days ago following the #20 recipe by Jack Keller which worked well for me before. I was pretty excited that I had that much picked and ready to go. Anyway, I placed the flowers in the bag and poured boiling water over them to steep for 3 days...
I just racked a strawberry, peach, mango, pineapple, banana batch to secondary. Cleared fairly quick but if you look closely, there are a lot of suspended particles.🤔 About 7 lbs of fruit.
So as I stated in my last post, just getting back into this after a 3 year "dry" spell in winemaking due to moving. Yes, it took me three years to move, especially with 4 kids. LOL. Anyway, broke out the equipment and went for my dragon blood recipe. I started a...
I bottled the blackberry farmers pick wine a few days ago. I had back sweetened to 1.020. Its been sitting since last December. I think it turned out well though tastes young. Will let it sit for a while. Decent body and dark color. I would use it again. Pic of my quality assurance sample.
I have made dandelion wine in the past but usually only pick enough to make 2-3 gallons. I use a recipe from Jack Keller with the addition of raisins, lemons and oranges. I really turns out well, especially with some age. I usually pick half the flowers and remove the green below and leave...
Don't know. It's in it's third month of secondary and is due to be racked at this time, once I find some time. I plan on leaving this age for close to a year before bottling, no clearing agents. I'll let you know later!
