Yes I degassed and no I did not back sweeten I'm not complaining it taste great was just worried about fermenting again..

Hi Everyone Can wine change it's alcohol level i.e. SG was .995 went to bottle and it was up to 1.11 after sitting for almost two weeks? Thanks

Hey Wade I was thinking about that but then the wine would go through another fermentation if I add another can right? Or since the yeast is no longer there it would just add the juice and make it sweeter?

Yes all clearing and F Pack is in.. And actually put them in before I racked it into the secondary

Older post I know but this wine is WEAKKKKKK & Bitter can I get a recipe for an F-Pack for this putrid tasting wine? SunCal White Zin Thanks

Hi all, I have an Orchard Breeze Blueberry Shiraz kit that I started on 22 Sept. and have moved it to my secondary carboy and put in all the fining agents and other stabilizers on the 29th it was .996 and has been stable since. I have noticed that there is still quite of bit of lees left in the...

Got it taken care of topped off with a box of red wine.

Well I went ahead and racked it before checking back here:o) Now here is my "new" problem, aparently I don't know how to measure 6 gallons because after adding all the secondary packets and racking it to a 6 gal. carboy I found myself almost 2 gallons short, so I figured I would back fill, did...

Just got home and checked the SG it's .996 what should I do?

Got it thanks hope I didn't screw it up by putting the lid on right after mixing everything togeather!!

Thanks for the replys, so if I open the lid tonight and the SG is still above 1.020 should I stir and recover tightly? Won't that disturb the sediment?

It has been in a bucket with a closed lid and airlock since I started, I'll check it tomorrow and see where I am at on SG. I believe that the directions say to siphon and use the stabilizer and the other packets then rack it and then let it sit for another few weeks. It comes with an F-Pack for...

Question about this kit and fermentation... I started it on 22 Sept. with a SG 1.075 was going like gang buster until yesterday and now has slowed down to almost nothing. The directions state to sit for the first 14 days then check and add then rack, should I check the SG see if it's below 1.020...

New batrch is going I bumped the SG up to 1.075 the kit had it right at 1.050 so off we go hope it turns out good..

Yeah I know it's gonna be sweet, I got this kit actually for the lil woman. I have seen a few tweaks like adding sugar to get SG up to 1.090 or so but that is about all I have seen..
