Thanks Paul, In my last post I said pectin but I meant pectic enzyme - I was trying to be brief so I did not have to type so much. I have now looked both up and know more about each than I will remember. I also learned that pectic enzymes produce methanol which can be harmful. If pectin was used...

newBendOrfanatic thanks much. I may (probably will) add raisins, bananas and/or canned plums. If I do I may add pectin (unless someone tells me why I should just with the jellied cranberry sauce). Does anyone have idea of how many 14 oz. cans to use?

Thanks a lot Paul & Arne. I was wondering about the straining bag because I thought after I added hot water it would pretty much dissolve. I also thought pectin enzyme was to break down the fruit (which is already broken down - because there are no skins or seeds). So pectin helps to clear I...

I've come across quite a few 14 oz. cans of Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce so you should know I want to make wine with them. Will it be ok to use these cans? The ingredients in a can are: cranberries, high fructose corn syrup. corn syrup, water. I plan on putting the jellied cranberry sauce...

Thanks for the reply. I have reused the grapes in the past to make 3 batches from the same grapes without any problems (usually I do not have to add any yeast. What can I add to make it more acidic so it starts fermenting?

I made a 6 gallon batch of red wine. I wanted to make a second batch using the same grapes. I added 3 tsp yeast energizer and sugar water to bring the sg to 1.09. I thought (because in the past the must started fermenting from the yeast still left) I might not have to add yeast. But about 4...

I use K Meta too. I may have to go out and buy 1 camden tablet, crush it, measure it, and win my bet! I was hoping someone would know the volume of 1 camden tablet. Thanks for all your help. If someone knows let me know, I will not buy a camden tablet right away. I know I saw the conversion in...

There is a lot of fillers in a camden tablet. I think about 4 (maybe less) camden tablets have or equal 1/4 teaspoons of K-Meta but if you crush the camden tablet I would like to know how much of a teaspoon it would fill. Thanks again.

Thanks but that is not what I need to know. I have a bet about the number of teaspoons a crushed camden tablet is. I have seen this asked before but cannot find it in my conversion files. Thanks

I need to know how much 1 camden tablet is in teaspoons. If I crush 1 tablet what will it measure in teaspoons? Thanks

Thanks Bartman, The recipe is from Winemaker's recipe handbbook. The recipe for corn wine just says to use honey and 1 pkg wine yeast. The recipe for corn whiskey says to use sugar, white grape conc. oranges, peppercorns, and 1 pkg Sherry yeast. Most of the other ingredients are the same for...

My recipe calls for sherry yeast. Please tell me what I can use as a substitute or what is similar to a sherry yeast. I am making corn wine (whiskey) Thanks.

Steve or anyone else with an answer I forgot to say the most important - I do not have a stopper for my gallon jug that I was planning on putting my must in. I wanted to start another 6 gal batch but only add 5 gal of liquids to make 6 gal to put in a 6 gal carboy. I would not be wasting the...

Thanks Steve I forgot to say the most important - I do not have a stopper for my gallon jug that I was planning on putting my must in. I wanted to start another 6 gal batch but only add 5 gal of liquids to make 6 gal to put in a 6 gal carboy. I would not be wasting the must - just delaying the...

I just filled up a 6 gallon carboy with jalapena must from my crock and I have about an extra gallon left in the crock. I planned on making another 6 gallon batch. I was wondering if I can add other ingredients minus 1 gallon of water (using the 1 gallon of must) to make 6 gallon? In other words...

pectic enzyme ? Thanks Bud, If you are not smart at least you are kind for being the only one answering my question.

10 drops pectic enzyme djrockingsteve: I have the powder. I want to convert 10 drops into teaspoons?

10 drops pectic enzyme Thanks, so it does not make a difference which fruit I am using? I thought different fruits would take different amounts of pectic enzyme.

a JALAPENA wine recepe calls for 10 drops pectic enzyme per gallon. I have powder pectic enzyme so how many teaspoons will it take?

Thanks very much.
