    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    Thank you! Hi all, I just wanted to thank the folks who recommended this recipe to me. I'm new to wine making and my first try with Mulberries (See "problems with mullberry wine" thread) didn't turn out so well. Per the suggestions there I made a 2 gal batch of Dragons Blood exactly as...

    Problems with mulberry wine

    Ah ok, I had thought that 0.990 was pretty close to the lowest you could get with fermentation. What's the lowest SG can, in theory, go? I added acid blend at the start (1 tsp) , I'll find my pH meter and check and report back. Can tannins be added at this point or is it more something I...

    Problems with mulberry wine

    Yay! The smell is pretty much gone! After aerating for the last day and a half I opened this evening and only got a whiff of sulfur. I went ahead and splash racked and moved it to the carboy. Sg was 0.990 so lol yeah nutrient wouldn't have done anything. I added a campden tab (dissolved in...

    Problems with mulberry wine

    Thanks Julie - I can definitely stir several times a day. I only have the one primary but I have several large bowls that can hold a gallon, would that work? And Thanks hounddawg - I'll do that!

    Hello from NY!

    Hello folks! New here and new to wine making (I do do cheese though). I have an abundance of fresh fruit so I figured wine would be a good use for it. I joined this forum to hear from experts and to ask advice about a problem batch (see country wine making forum). I'm looking...

    Problems with mulberry wine

    So let me preface this with that this is my very first foray into wine making. I have two big mulberry trees in my yard and I can only make some many jars of jelly! I'm going to describe exactly what I did and any input on what to do (don't worry about it, how to fix it, just dump it, mocking...
