alright, said screw it, on going to the store for now, and took readings on both wines. the hydrometer in the apple wine reads at slightly below 0.990 and is looking nice and clear, a little yellow in complexion. the strawberry one is confusing to me with less time it has an even lower reading...

I really do have no idea what I am doing :) more likely than not, you are correct Tom, I'm heading to the store now, to pick up jam, when I get back, I will go to work on sanitizing all the equipment, and take the reading on the strawberry wine. can it really be that hard to take a misreading on...

SG was at 1.100-95 when started and racked at 1.090. I have left it alone since racking and am going to check it tonight when I am making another batch, so I'm not to sure where it is at as of right now, but I will post here when I find it out. I used red star Montrachet yeast.

'ello brewers, I started a gallon of strawberry/blueberry wine late last night, then realized that I will be at work (changing shifts) at the point where I am supposed to add the yeast. would it be better to let the must wait an extra 5 hours, or should I put the yeast in 5 hours early? I could...

how is it going home brewers? I am new to wine making and I have tons of questions. I'm the type of person that finds himself elbow deep in a new hobby/interest about every 4 months or so (went from music to cigars to fabrication and now wine making this year alone.) I've started my first batch...
