I have 5 gallons of blackberry that I am just waiting to clear. I tasted it a couple days ago and it's good but I want it to have more of a blackberry taste. Is there any way to add more flavor to it at this point or not? And also should I go ahead and put the isinglass in the wine? I just...

Well I know it can't be me because I just joined a couple weeks ago and am a noob here. Glad to see this site representing Christmas and not afraid to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!

What I'm doing? Breathing and still alive.

What I'm doing today? Working until 4 and then picking my wife up to go to a few wineries to get some used bottles for cheap. Probably eat somewhere nice to butter her up so I can spend more money on wine supplies lol

Yeah I haven't thought of that. I have an 8 gallon fermenter so I could make more then needed for sure. Thanks

Oh ok I see now. Sorry really new at this lol but thanks!!!

Yeah it was 5 gallons. Thanks a lot.

I racked my blackberry into my glass carboy last night and toped up with water. 1/2 gallon of water.... Is this gonna hurt the flavor? This is my first batch of any kind of wine.

Anybody on here in east Tennessee?

I'm in East Tennessee in Greeneville.

I have just starting making my own wine and really enjoy it. I have wanted to do this for a long time and just got tired of going to a store to buy wine when it is perfectly legal to make it.

Alright wow thanks so much for the help everyone. It is still going slow but I should be ready to rack to secondary by tomorrow. Thanks again for all the help!!!

I'm not sure. I'm new at this and don't have a thermometer yet. My house is kept at 70 thou if that helps any. I'm just wondering if I rack it now into secondary will it mess it up....

I've got some blackberry wine in my primary fermenter and my instructions say to leave it in there for 4 to 5 days or until the specific gravity reads 1.040. It's been it for for 6 days and is at 1.068 and is going very slowly....about .010 per day. What should I do???????
