I choped up my unfrozen apples and put them all into a fermenting container, seeds and all, over a month ago. I was out of town and got home a few days ago to see the cap was about 5 inches thick. I scooped it off with a sieve. I then poured it through a nylon stockingand saved it in a 15 liter...

Thanks, Next time I'll freeze them ,lots of work mashing them up.

I just followed my "Wine Making made easy" Book's recipe for apple wine. It says !6 kg,of apples, 3.5 kg sugar ,and add water to make 23 liters. O of coarse you add the usual other ingredients as usual, but I'm wondering abouy such a large amount of apples, not much juice from them. They take up...

The only thing I can add to what's already said about my poor judgment of the way I make my wine is that it works.. Oh yeah I have the hydometer still in the cupboard , and asked on here how it can check alchol percentage , appaently it cant ,, so I use my vinometer which is dead on when...

I started this pineapple wine on July 2 /2013 I just took a sample of it now ,mmmm best yet. I usually forget it for several months , but my strawberry wine is all drank so I figured I'd try a glass of my latest pineapple wine . It has a more pineapply taste than when it sits, but along with the...

My Dad never owned a carlot ( or ever was around) I learned to siphon gas in backalleys , kinda hard to see what I was doing if there was no moon..lol Thanks guys for the info on the auto siphon.. My last batch of pineapple wine will be ready to drink on the 23 of this month .. I think I'll...

Thanks , sounds like something I could make good use of. Neil

Thanks guys,, So the airlock on the carboy is not so it can bubble ( still ferment ) but to improve the taste and let things settle ... I get it . Btw I never had an exploding carboy , just found my siphoning skills not very good ,, so I made a mess.. Well , you guys have answered my...

So once again I have my pineapple wine fermenting , but this time i thought i'd go high tech,and read my winemaking made easy, book, It says to rack it in a few days , so I notice now 8 days later the bubbles stopped ( i tried the fermentation lock this time ) I usually just put it in a sealed...

I got a bunch of wine making equipment a year or two ago but never used it . Now I'm thinking of using the fermentation lock, but my " Winemaking Made easy " book shows a drawing of a fermentation lock that looks like it might have an airtight lid on it . This doesnt make sense to me , but the...

jamesngalveston , are you a bootlegger ? or just making up for all the fun you missed by being drunk in the past ? lol.. Keep up the good work buddy , have all the fun you can because it wont be long before the do gooders have you in alcholics anonymous.. Good post ha,ha.

yeah what a great discovery we are making lol. I never wondered why age wine was anything special.. I dont like the taste that much and really would never drink it if it had no alchol in it . Id just stick to water ..
