So by that math both my wines are under the 1.4% Residual Sugar?

Hello all, I am needing help converting the residual sugars of a couple of my wines into a percentage instead of mg/L. I am using the Accuvin Residual Sugar Test Kit and it measures in mg/L. I am testing a kit red (Fiero) and my usual Dragons Blood. The Fiero i let ferment all the way down to...

Hydrometer.

Hello all, I Started a Wine Experts Green apple kit on 10/18. This would be the 4th kit I have made from them. All the others turned out great. The moscato i started on 10/26 is doing great, but this one is having troubles. It is stuck at 1.040 SG. OG was 1.110. I waited about 10 days and...

Also. Tested some of this wine last night and my wife loves it. Came out crystal clear and a little over 14.5%. She wants to do another and i was thinking of the Australian kit this time.

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

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?

I was looking at the Australian Chard when i was looking at these. I figured i would try this one first.

8L. I thought they didnt sell the 10L kits anymore

I am looking to buy a couple 15 gal Curtec drums. Only places i can find online have a minimum order. Anyone have any they are not using anymore. I know i could use trashcans or rubbermaid tubs but I'd really like to have a couple of these.

Hello again friends, I started a batch of Dragons Blood last night and have a question. Only thing different is i did double the fruit. After i mixed the sugar and all the other ingredient's together and before i added the fruit i checked the SG, it was 1.122. Today after i let it sit 24 hours...

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