    Does the reserve kits make more than 6 gallon or just a stronger wine since it has more concentrated juice?

    WineXpert Chardonnay Kit

    So the directions on the kit just mentions sprinkling the yeast ontop and putting a lid on it till its done. Should i just leave it or should i stir it daily like the other wines i have made?

    Clearing Dragons Blood.

    So should i add another packet of super kleer after all this or just let it sit awhile?

    Clearing Dragons Blood.

    How much should i add? Im assuming since i need to stir it i should rack it over into a new carboy to get it off the sediment bed then add the pectic and stir it good?

    Clearing Dragons Blood.

    I did the packet 1 first then the packet 2 about 2 hours later. Stirring gently after adding each. Its a cherry berry mix. Dark and tart cherries,strawberries, and blueberries. I have not added in pectic to it. Was just trying to follow the recipe starting out.

    Clearing Dragons Blood.

    I did yes. Did it with a drill mounted rod and I did as you mentioned changing directions every so often.

    Should I add more k-meta?

    Did you rack of the compacted lees after the first clearing? Im assuming you did as if you stirred it again you would disturb everything?
