I will try to find it and use it. Thanks for the info.

Sweet. Thanks again.

Is that the same stuff they sell at drug stores or do I need to go to some place special?

I made a press out of pine/oak. I was wondering if it should be sealed with some type of poly. or just left unfinished. Any suggestions that can be offered would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

ok I have run through strainer, still thick, run that through coffee filter which took for ever. Still thick like syrup. Wont even read on hydrometer. The hydrometer wont sink down far enough to even give me a reading. Spun it to get air bubbles off it and made sure was not touching sides. Think...

I am making a peach wine. I have used a recipe for a gallon batch and multiplyed it times 4 to try and get enough for a 3 gallon carboy by the time I squeeze all the must out the nylon bag.. But I put a couple extra lbs of peaches in it to give it a more peachy flavor. The problem is now it is...

Got blackberry wine in carboy finally. Was under the weather for awhile. Wow chillin the wine did not help with the fizz factor had to get cork almost out then hold it in and slowly release pressure til it stopped fizzing to the top. Gonna let it sit for about 6 more months. Will it degas on its...

let me make sure of what i need to do. Put full wine bottles in fridge so I can pull the corks so I can stabilize it. Pull the corks n put in carboy and get ph up to 3.4 with calicum carbonate and also add some bentonite to clear it up and let it set in carboy with airlock on for about another 9...

It is not clear at all. Sounds like I made way to many mistakes. And read all the wrong information. I will put in carboy ASAP with airlock and leave it for a long time. I bought the book "the joy of winemaking" Did not see any of these steps in it or maybe i just red it too fast and needed...

I did not degas or do any of the above things metioned. This is my first time making wine. I guess I did not read the right ways to do this. Do not remember seeing any of the above suggestions in the process that I read. So I need to degas it and stabilize it. The corks that blew out of the...

This is pure blackberry juice. I started with 23 lbs. of blackberries. Wound up with about 4.5 gallons of blackberry juice. So when I add water to fill it up should not dilute to bad. Should I use regular tap water boiled then cooled, or distilled or something of that matter. Have run wine...

I have had several people tell me to get " The joy of Home Winemaking " by Terry Garey. I just got it this morning at Barnes & Nobel. Cost me $16. Have not read it yet so dont know if it is good or not. I too am having same things going on with my blackberry wine which is my 1st wine i am making.

I am new to the winemaking process and put my wine into 5 gallon carboy but it did not fill it to top. after about 2 weeks of fermenting i have notice what appers to be mold growing in the neck. DiD not know carboy had to be full with as little air space on it. so there was about 8 inches of air...
