Yes I guess you could say it was concentrated. I didn't measure the sg of just the juice. But when I poured it in the pot it was about as thick as tomato soup.

Here is the recipe http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5608&highlight=Forgotten+nights

Thanks for this. I had a kit of red wine once that I could actually see the change in the fluid move from the top down and thought that is what normally happened. I am happy to hear my yeast is healthy and doing what it should. As for the sg, yes, you are likely correct that I meant 1.070...

I'm using Monica's apple cider recipe, or a version of. I made my own cider with all spice and cinnamon etc. etc. And thought I would try to make it alcohol. Yesterday I heated up the cider and then added 1 gallon plus 1 quart water to bring my total volume to 2.5 gallons. Added half the yeast...

Looking at the bottle 2 days in, there are no bubbles at all....am I safe? Will they explode right away or is there no time line?

Can someone tell me what type of catastrophe I could be facing? Just bottle my beer and I currently have 24 grolsch bottles sitting on my dining room table as well as 2 1 gal screw top bottles. I added enough priming sugar for 5 gal into the whole batch. I'm fairly sure I should be okay with...

Okay. Spakloid went in last Saturday. I have been noticing sediment similar to normal sediment at the bottom of the carboy. However, it runs up the curvy sides a little and some is further up stuck on the sides. Never used spakloid before. Will all that sediment stay put while I'm bottling (was...

First stir today of my first pee batch. Pitched yeast 2 days ago. Fermentation looks good, it's like stirring pop!

Thanks everyone!

Just finishing up Dragon blood and have started skeeter pee. In bother recipes I noticed you have to frequently stir the must (<---did I get that term right?). I am wondering though. My first wine was a kit and it didn't mention stirring anywhere except when adding chemicals. Is stirring...

this is bananas! and I was doing this by hand?? annnnnd I broke the Dewalt.

welp this was the best advice I have ever been given! 5 cent hanger cut up and.....wow! there was a lot of gas left in that wine! and still more (the battery died)

Thanks drain surgeon! To jump back to degassing quick, I added the potassium (s) last night and stirred until my arms hurt. I think there is some CO2 left though and I haven't added the clearing agent yet. If I stir for awhile daily for few days and then add spakloid, is that okay? I know...

That is what has happened. I was a little off on my measurements (it started with me being Canadian lol gallons on recipe, litres on primary) anyways I ended up with too much water-don't ask- so I had to add another 4 cups of sugar to get the sg right. I have to say I am learning lots every...
