    Wine is changing color in secondary (getting darker)

    Hey crwagner89; The color you describe is what tomato wine should be, sounds like you were doing it right. I started with tomatoes that a friend grew, different stages of ripeness as you can see from the image attached. I also didn't have raisins or white grape juice, which I think is what I...

    Wine is changing color in secondary (getting darker)

    Hello! I am making a tomato wine (from tomatoes, not from juice). I didn't follow a specific recipe, I looked at several recipes and improvised. Also, I didn't measure anything although I own a hydrometer (I know, I know...I'll be better next time). So, I've racked the wine twice since...
