I started a wine from frozen juice ( minute maid) on Feb 29,2016 . The starting SG was 1.070 I checked it a couple weeks ago the SG was 1.004 . I then put it in a carboy and checked again today it's still at 1.004 . Just wondering if I should add more yeast to take it under SG 1.000 . It's been...

I've been making wine for a few years now . Started with kits then after the help from members here I made different wines from fruit juices . I have never had a problem with the the wine not stabilizing and refermenting after I bottled it . I use Super-Kleer K.C. all the time . I did back...

I only have one pack of EC-1118 and one Liquor Quik Super Yeast X-Press that you use when making alcoholbase .I'm not going to make it the 20% alc that can be with the super yeast but they have it figured out for 12% so thought I would go with that strength . Here's what it says for ingredients...

I just received an email from Noble Grape saying Tim Vandergrift is going to be at the 2010 Limited Edition wine tastings in the Halifax area . Plus it's cheaper then the one here in town. So just wondering if anyone down that way was going and if so which one .

I picked up my organic perservative free cider yesterday on the way home from our weekend away . I will get it started when I get home from work . i have 20 liters ,think I will do 10 plain and 10 with cinnamon . So would it be aright to add the cinnamon after it goes into the carboy ?

Because I am a proud Canadian but I can't vote for these two amazing girls on America's Got Talent :( :( .

When we were at the winery last weekend I bought White wine jelly (they had red also ) .It's made of Jost eagle tree muscat wine , sugar & pectin but it doesn't have that yucky musty taste muscat usually has ,it's so good . It's expensive $4.50 for 110 ml but it's a nice treat .

Happy Canada day fellow Canadians :h We are so lucky to live in such a great country !!!!!!!!!!

This is the first time using one the Wine Kitz wines so I'm hoping someone here might be able to answer this question for me . The instruction say to leave it in the bucket for 14 days until the SG is down to .995 or less but usually the kits say to put in the carboy sooner then that . I was...

i was just thinking that if we had a dish and everytime we drink a bottle of wine we put $5.00 for cheaper wines and $10.00 for the better wines in the dish . It wouldn't take long to have enough money aside to buy another kit .Since any bottle of wine we buy is atleast $10.00 thats a deal ...

I was reading the thread where people were talking about sweetening SP for diabetics and thought it would be helpful if we had a thread about it .Be easier for people to find the info . Some people are starting to use the Stevia for a sweetener as commonly as people use Splenda .If you have used...

I have been thinking I should try atleast one or two our liquor store has been promoting this wine http://www.mynslc.com/Products/PID-1003871 . Since it's from Spain I thought i might like it . What if any organic have you tried ? What did you like or dislike about them ? I know some of you are...

I can't believe I screwed this up I just realized I should have put 16 cups of sugar not 6 cups in my Skeeter Pee . Probably reading it without my glasses again :slp .But the Sg level was fine so I didn't even realize it until now .I have already stablized it so it's too late now for this batch...

Ok cut me some slack here it is my first attempt .I used photobucket editing to make it .This is a pic of 2 my sisters & me the night the Olympic torch came to town and we went up to the park to watch it.We came back to my place and had hot chocolate that we spiked with some of the liqueurs I...
