I think I will pick up a few pounds of wheat next time I'm at my local brew shop and give this a shot.

DFW, I have wondered the same thing, I would think that you would end up with the same result? Sounds like it may be worth a try.

Well, I'm really glad to hear that I'm not alone on this one. Thanks for all the replies.

Okay, guess I will wait it out. Did you leave it in the primary bucket or rack it to secondary???

Sounds like a good plan! Thanks for the tips.

Wine related, my wife tells me the rest of my problems. Okay, I thought this was a fluke till it happened again. I made 3 gallons of strawberry wine, I took the recipe off Jack Keller's site and multiplied everything but the yeast by 3. Fermentation took forever, last time I checked, it...

Thanks for all the input. I have made apple wine from regular juice before and it was a big hit, I sweetened it in the end with juice concentrate and it was awesome! Looking forward to trying this with fresh cider, I'll update as I go.<?:namespace prefix = o ns =...

Hi all, <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I am picking up some fresh pressed apple cider and am considering either hard cider, apple wine or maybe a little of both. Anyone have any experience making wine from fresh cider? Also, I was thinking I may pick...

Thanks fellas, each keg holds 5 gallons, there is a 5# CO2 tank in there behind the kegs. It's a more expensive way to go but I am really happy with it.

Kiristie, Nope, not at all, I went through a lot of work by peeling the grapefruit and adding just the juice sacks...took forever but it turned out to be well worth it! NW, you sure do have a good memory! I did promise her the nectar of the gods and I'd have to say I've made good on that...

Thanks everyone. I think making the beer in between wine has given me the patience, or at least kept me busy so I can forget about the wine and let it age a bit. Anyway, I will try to keep up on my progress with my up comming Raspberry, cherry and blueberry wines....

Hey everyone! Been a while since my last post. I haven't made much wine lately but I opened a bottle of my grapefruit wine tonight and I thought I'd share my enthusiasm with those who can understand. <?:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"...

Congrats! I love making beer almost as much as wine, I think the reason I like the beer so much is because I can drink it in a lot less time. Good luck and enjoy!

Nope, not filtering, If I had a filter I might. I just finished up all of my wine tasks for the day. I stabilized 2 gallons of cherry wine, stabilized a gallon of clementine wine, racked a gallon of banana (which, by the way, tastes excellent!) and racked 3 gallons of grapefruit wine. Been a...
