Thanks everyone!

Hello! I have been out of the WMT loop for awhile. People have really been enjoying the wine I have made so far. I've had a request for a strawberry wine. I want to make this from a kit. Any suggestions?? I want something crisp and not too sweet. Thanks!:db

I am having a cookout next weekend and thought some Sangria would be nice. Any recipes that you all would reccommend? Thanks :)

Anyone watch Doomsday Preppers?? I just watched an episode where a man is stocking up on homemade wine. He has over 500 bottles in his hidden cellar. He feels that wine will be a good use for trade a bartaring when currency is worthless. Pretty interesting!

Happy Easter! This is my first holiday that I am able to share my wine with friends and family. They love it and wow, it goes fast!!! I need to remember this and stock up for upcoming holidays and gatherings!

I just noticed the type of wine. I have the same one in a carboy right now! How does it taste? I'm going to try to hold off bottling for another couple months.

Congrats! Looks great!

Haha! Thanks for your help!

Thanks! The first time I made this was in the winter and my home was a lot cooler. This time it's much warmer in my home soI think that's why theres a lot more action! I was just worried I'd lose some yeast when taking out some liquid. But there should be plenty of yeasties in there :)

Hello! I started 2, 1 gallon batches of Apfelwein this morning. I think I filled the carboys up a little high. The foam is starting to get into the airlock. Should I extract some of the liquid from the carboy or just let it be? Thanks! Christy

I just thought of something....would any preservatives in the jam be keeping it from fermenting down to where it should? I didn't pay attention to the ingredients.

I've stirred it every day. Still not budging from 1.020. Help?

Great info! Thanks! I am working on a Welch's White Grape Juice wine. Can I sweeten with more of the grape juice concentrate?

Stabilize What should I add to stabilize before back-sweetening and how much for 6 gallon carboy? How long should I wait after adding the stabilizing before I sweeten?

I haven't racked mine yet. It's still in the primary. It's been about 8 days and it's at 1.020. Thoughts?
