Thanks for the advice guys. Email has been down, so I did not notice replies until this morning. I am going to transfer to a 6 galand top up to dilute. I will report SG's when I make the transfer. Thanks for all the help. Al

Thanks guys. It should be here today. Just in time for my next batch. Al

Using a search, I found the below recipe for Pineapple wine. My 19 year old son, in his infinate wisdom, and seeing what I was doing, had a batch of Dole Pineapple mixed up when I got home today. He said, if he started it, he knew I would figure things out by the time anything important came up...

Thanks bro...

I have looked and looked for the $45ish filtering unit that l can gravity filter with. Can someone link it here so that I can order one to filter my wines? Thanks Al

Well I did it, and here are a few pic's. Enjoy 5 minutes after adding clearing agent. Amazingly fast working. Close up of clearing agent working 5 minutes after mix 6 hours after clearing - 2 pic's. left is very slow shutter speed while right is dummies settings...

Ok I racked this to secondary on the 22nd. Kit was started on 2-17 at 11pm. Today is the 25th, and it appears that fermintation has stopped. Temp is 75 (according to stick on thermometer). I checked SG just because I could not stand waiting and doing nothing :-) SG is .998 Does...

Ok trying to post from my blackberry. Hope it works. Next question is SG. Initial reading was 1.086ish. Should I leave it or shoot for1.1ish? I have 5 gal batch waiting on yeast. Thanks Al

No where on the lable do I see Potassium Sorbate, but it does say "Pasturized". Is that ok? Also, thanks Apple. I was going to look up a definition list. Al

no

I can order one from George if I need one. Not sure what all I need a.t.m. I am sure I will be making another order this week from George. What I have on hand now is the following: Super Kleer KC - 2 packs Potassium Sorbate - 2 oz Pectic Enzyme - 1 oz Yeast Nutrient - 2 oz LD...

I did not know about SG when I made my last batch :-). I have a whole host of additives that George suggested I keep on hand. No idea what each of them is for, but I will list them when I get back from store with the ingredients I need to buy. Al

I made this wine for my first ever attempt at making wine, and lots of my friends loved it. I sweetened it up a bit before botteling, and it seemed fine, but now, 2 months later, when drinking, I have an acidic after taste. Please review this recipe, and make suggestions as to what I should...

Thanks Wade. Cant wait to try it. From all the posts I have read on the Peach Apricot, I see it has great reviews. I don't think I found one post that spoke negatively of this kit. I will be sampeling it at the earliest possible date.

Well you see... the problem there.... the wife gave me 2 options. 1. only 1 batch at a time mixed and kept in the kitchen 2. put an A.C. unit in the garage to stabilize temp and keep everything in the garage. It is the wrong time of year for buying an A.C. window unit at walmart...

Above are the shots of my wine after racking from primary to secondary. As you can see from the pic's, I have about an inch to inch and half of sediment in the bottom of secondary. Also, the color is quite a bit different than what I expected. I followed all directions to a "T", including not...

Got it. Cool info. Thanks for everything. I will start it Friday. Al

Already received the 5 gal at the house. I can't cancel. I just went ahead and ordered a 6 gallon today, with sterilizer, and some IslandMist lables. I sould be good to go on that part of it. Mr. Z, If I want to have the maximum sweetness, and have acquired a 6 gallon jug, I would assume...

Hey Peeps, After finnishing up my last few bottles of Hobo grape wine, and plunging into making a Welches Grape Peach blend, I decided to purchase a kit, to see how I compare to the professional kits. I ordered the WE Peach Apricot Chard. via telephone, basicly. I did not become aware of...

Hell, with a deal like that, let me just hop in the truck and scoot on up to Watertown, and see if I can find you. I will meet you at the river bridge just north of the square, near the old wood mill.
