    Rogue Yeast? Fermentation Started already!

    Arne, Thank you for the reply. Per the recipe above, I did wait longer than 12 hours between steps. Without looking at my notes I suspect it was about 18-24 hours between steps. It was a new surprise for me to have this happen. When I checked it again, the fermentation was going so well, I...

    Raspberry Wine Question

    Just a follow up post on the Raspberry Wine from Wade's recipe. This is by far the best tasting Raspberry wine I have ever tasted. It still needs at least a few more months to mature, I am glad I squirreled away a few bottles in my cellar. I figure by the time I am picking raspberries...

    Using A Household Juicer to prepare fruit juice?

    I have been using one of those Jack LaLanne juicers for a few years. I have found it works great for wine making as well. I recently used it to juice four melons giving me two quarts of juice. I added the pulp in a nylon bag to the must and am very pleased with the results.....but time will...

    Cranberry Wine

    Wild Highbush Cranberry? Greetings Everyone, Today when picking Choke Cherries I found a lot of Highbush Cranberries. Has anyone tried using these with the same "Sticky" recipe?

    Choke Cherry Wine

    Looks like a good recipe to use Choke Cherry Season is almost over near Lake Superior. My friend and I got real lucky in finding an incredible amount of berries. 120 pounds picked, washed, bagged, and frozen in three times out. We were even lucky enough to convince our wives to come picking...

    Raspberry Wine Question

    Thank you, Tom. That is what I was leaning toward. Since my must is only 1.08SG I did not really want to use Champagne yeast. Best regards

    Choke Cherry

    I got a call last night from a wino friend who says the chokecherries are ripe and ready for picking. I have yet to make chokecherry wine (but plan to this year), but I remember as a little boy picking them with my grandmother to make jelly. I thought we picked them in mid fall. When do...

    Raspberry Wine Question

    Yeast I am curious to know what yeast folks recommend for Wade's Raspberry Wine recipe? Looking at the chart from April/May 2010 Winemaker Magazine Raspberry wine calls for Champagne or RC212 yeast. I have on hand all of the Red Star brand yeasts. Somehow the Champagne yeast does not...

    Raspberry Wine Question

    I just returned from a trip to the raspberry patch where my wonderful wife helped me pick well over 20 pounds. I have had raspberry wine which was made from two or three pounds of raspberries per gallon and I thought the wine was alright, but nothing special. I have 20 pounds set aside for a...

    Tasty Skeeter Pee

    6AM this morning.....I asked my wife to try this wine. My wife is not a big wine fan and we have been attending wine tasting events in our area trying our best to find wines she enjoys. So far there are not too many wines she has really enjoyed. Most wines to her are just alright. So...
