Hello, So I made a quad berry dragon blood (pineapple, strawberry, mango and peach. There was a lot of head space so I filled it with vodka and water. 5th of vodka and water. I took a sample in a rocks glass and put it in my wine fridge. After forgetting it for a few days the alcohol flavor...

Idk the pH or TA but I do know that the wine taste amazing after only 4 weeks. I’m actually about to make 5 gallons of it. What can I use to fill the extra space in the carboys. I’ve seen people use marbles. Is there other things I can use?

So here’s what I’ve got. I made Pomegranate wine and it was out of this world. Best I’ve ever made and I found the recipe online. 9/11/2020 - Pomegranate wine 1 gallon * 96 ounces Pom 100% juice * 3 lbs sugar * 1 tsp yeast nutrient * 2 tsp acid blend * 1 cup strong black tea (instead of 1/2...

The skins is what provides the color.

I do stir it daily. Stirred it vigorously today and it seemed to have reactivated. As of now I have 2 different types fermenting, Pomegranate wine and my quad berry (pineapple, strawberry, mango and peach) dragon’s blood version. Can’t wait to taste it.

Update #2: My wine was fermenting vigorously when I stirred it today, and then all of a sudden stopped. I tested the SG levels and it was at 1.150 and it stopped bubbling the airlock. Please note I’m using a 2 gal bucket for 1 gal of wine. Testing the waters I guess. After checking SG levels I...

Update: I rechecked my SG reading and it’s actually 1.150. 😬 a little hotter than I expected it to be. I added yeast nutrient, should I add test energizer to help it ferment?

I’m trying a 96 oz of straight Pom juice my starting SG level was 1.050. Do you think I should add more sugar to bring it up a bit? I do plan to back sweeten it when it ferments dry. Just want to get higher abv. 😁

thank you both so much. Have either of you ever tried making pomegranate wine with Pom juice?

So I’m making a pomegranate wine and I’m trying 1 gallon at first. Can I use my 2 gallon fermentation bucket to make one gallon of wine or do I need to use a 1 gallon fermentation bucket? Thanks in advance Alexey

What does it cost to make labels. Is that for personal use or resale?

That’s what I love about this forum. I’m new to wine making and I’ve spent hours and hours reading different posts and I can see so many people asking questions on what to do with bad wine, and the people helping Make it better from person experiences.

Is that ace bucket 5 gallons or is it 6 to the top?(meaning theres a gallon of wiggle room) I’ve been looking for a fermentation bucket for a while

So DB is SP but with fruit?

I hope you were able to see the pictures I loaded. Got any cool recipes that I need to try other then DDDD?
