I've made several wines from f.c. I learned early to add one more can of consentrate per gallon than is called for to make the juice. The wine will come out thin if you don't. This is my opinion and I like a full bodied wine. Trya gallon firstand see what you like. The worst that can happen is...

I am going to use black cherry consentrate I found at a farmers market. I've made several fruit wines and they turned out well. I want to start with a s.g. of 1.10, ferment to1.00,then sweeten and stabilize at 1.02 for a sweet, dessert wine. Edited by: Bowine

I want to try to make a gallon of black cherry wine, and am wondering if anyone has made it before and how it was. It sounds delicious. but you know how that goes. Any help would be appreciated. I wish everyone and their families a Merry Christmas. Thanks.

Love it!!!

Good idea. I'll do it. Thanks

I've posted on this forum several times and have not taken the time to introduce myself. My name is Russell Bohannon. I am from Acworth Georgia. I am 37 years old. My first gallon of homemade wine was a recipe from a friend.(baloon wine) It turned out pretty good. I found this forum and...

The s.g. is 1.030. ( I just checked) It is still very sweet , but has a bite to it. I'll let it finish and work from there. Topping with other wines sounds better to me. Thank you for your help!

I'll try to dilute it as you suggested. This was supposed to be a dessert wine, and I dont want the alcohol content to be too high. By the way. does "hot" mean high alcohol, or are you referring to taste?
