I feel beaten up here. Here I go starting to cry again... bye

Here I thought I was doing everything the right way this time and I still did it completely, totally wrong. No one will believe me, I know, but I am actually crying now... Why am I sooooo ignorant.... I never heard about doing anything in a bucket. I would think it would get contaminated...

I already started a new thread last night about what I started a few days ago, with ingredients and all that. Somehow I think that is going to make people mad but I don't know why it would. Just that everything I say or do here seems to make someone want to kill me. The last wine I made was...

Oh, by the way, the reason there are 6 teaspoons of things is because I thought my carboy was six gallons, and I added the dry stuff to the carboy part way thru so I could dissolve some it before it was full. Once it was nearly full I realized that it is only meant to ferment five gallons of...

I started a new batch a few days ago. Here are the ingredients as I remember them. It was from a recipe the lady at the winemaking shop gave me, so its written down, I just don't have it with me right now. I might edit it tomorrow if I find out I did something differently. The difference between...

Well, the first time was after a year, a few weeks ago, and the next time was last week. So, twice. The first time I dumped it into two plastic tubs I bought for that purpose and rinsed out with water. Then I dumped the dead yeast into a big plastic jar to settle out and pour off some of the...

Hmmm.... Well, that does make sense. It was the first wine out of the carboy after me adding tablespoons of Potassium sulfite and letting it sit for a few days. And then I swallowed the wine, literally choking it down it was so awful. So I'm sure I got at least one lungful of sulfite gas plus...

You may want to download a book on Ettiquette and appropriate questions to ask people you don't know.

I really need to ignore everyone but you. I wonder if these people are sober when they are trying to attack me for no reason.... :slp Well, I rinsed the bottle to get rid of the bleach but I didn't do it really well, I just ran water in it, shook it up some, dumped it out, repeated that, then...

Ha. No school project. No jail house. Not writing anything. Just me experimenting to interest myself.

I work until almost midnight, you can figure out for yourself when I can't possibly get on here and when I can get on here.

Oh brother I guess it doesn't matter to me whether you believe the truth or not. It occurred to me when I left the site last night that you are probably sloshed as you write these things anyway, so you don't realize what you are saying.

Oh nooooo..... I had already soaked my carboy (that's what the giant glass bottle is called, right?) with bleach overnight and then rinsed it out fairly well I guess, and then added the juice and pectinase and everything and let it sit for 24 hours. The only thing I noticed that was different...

Well, okay. I just thought that having real people who make wine all the time would be better than trying to do something from a book. I have LOTS of questions and no knowledge, so thought this would be a good place to find out answers. :?

I'm sorry, I just have sooooo many questions that they just come spilling out of me, and I'm not sure what to explain or not mention at all. Its a mess.... :slp

Thank you for all of your replies! :hug There was another question where people seemed to be attacking me for being soooo ignorant of what I am supposed to do. I have NO ONE to ask about these things. Drinking is not something that people do among people I associate with. Making alcohol would...

So, do you mean that the wine I made is rotting? Its amazing that something with so much alcohol in it (that's what the lady at the winemaking shop said anyway, a lot of alcohol) would be able to rot. It seems like things would be pickled in it before they could rot the wine.

I don't know what this means. I'm sorry. :?

Well, I like Science things and this is sort of scientific. It isn't hard to ferment something so its not like I taking on something impossible. What would be hard would be for *me* (and maybe everyone for all I know) to ferment something that would pass for "Good" wine, because I'm interested...
