    Add some flavor to Moscato

    I just finished a Moscato kit I ordered from Amazon and it's not bad, but it's lacking some flavor. Since I can't make an F-Pac with Moscato grapes, does anyone have any suggestions for what might be a nice flavor complement for the wine and how to go about adding the flavor to my six gallons...

    Not fermenting

    I began six gallons of blueberry wine two days ago and followed the recipe exactly. I waited overnight to pitch the yeast. After pitching the yeast the directions said to attach the cover to the primary. I did and we left our house for several hours afterward. When I cam home the must had...

    More Sorbate?????

    Still working on my strawberry wine. I added Na Meta and K Sorbate, waited 24 hours and added an f-pac as described here on the forums. Now, two days later, there are very small bubbles climbing the side of the carboy. I still need to back sweeten the wine. Should I add more meta and...

    I started making a strawberry wine recipe almost two months ago. From the end of its fermentation even until now it has a pungent smell of burnt fermentation or carbonation. (That's the best I can describe it). Here is the recipe I used. http://www.eckraus.com/wine-making-strawberry.html...

    Still Bubbling. . . . . .

    I made batch of blue berry wine three months ago and have racked it twice. It has been sitting in the three gallon carboy now for about a month undisturbed and I am still seeing small air bubbles working their way to the neck. I am very new to wine making, but from what I do understand...

    Taste at First Racking

    I sampled the wine to see how it tasted and wasn't impressed with the taste after the first racking. It tasted very yeasty (word?) Will the taste improve after it has time to settle in this carboy over the next several weeks? Also if I want to sweeten the taste do I do that right before I...

    Did I Screw Up My Wine?

    This is my first unsupervised attempt at making wine and I fear I've screwed it up. I made my wine as the recipe directed, but after I pitched the yeast I put the lid on my airlock container instead of a towel (that I now have re-read and saw that it specified). My specific gravity is under 1...
