Ok I bottled up a 5 gallon batch of triple berry skeeter pee. It was bottled up for about 2 to 3 weeks before we opened the first bottle. My wife said it was to bitter for her to drink, but it tasted stronger then the lemon pee. My question is, will the bitterness go away over time? If so how...

I know whenever you make a new batch and take readings, you need to write them down and keep them handy. Could any of you screenshot / post your notes from beginning to end of a batch so I could see an example? I think I know what i need to write down but i like visual aides. Thank you all in...

I just ordered a wine equipment starter kit and it comes with a hydrometer. I wanted to know is a hydrometer better to use then a refractometer? I don't want to waste all that wine to take a reading with a hydrometer if i can just use a couple of drops and a refractometer. Thanks, Noob Wine...
