I just bottled this wine on 2/7. I have been nursing a bottle for the last 2 days and it really is good after this short period but still needs to mellow and come into its own. Good luck ! granny

So that would mean it would not clear properly? granny

OK Racked, degassed clarified........... Why does it say not to reverse the order of the K-C what does it do to the wine? My SG was .998 Hopefully itwill turn out ok granny

SG .998 it should rack at .998 but on Day 14 this is only day5

Started it 2/15 with SG of 1.058 and temp of 75 F . Now it looks like white things floating on top and does not sound or look like its fermenting any more. What should I do? granny

well I did notice ALOT of sediment drop out after I degassed and clarified and stabilized. OK I will be patient granny

OK I did the degassing & stabilizing and it has foam on the top. What now? granny

No lost sleep !!Just wanting to make sure I look at all things before the next batch. Have a Riesling on now and 3 more kits waiting to get into the bucket ! Most important thing is I am having FUN !

This is my 1st batch ever so I am not understanding all of this just yet. Looks like we were pretty close to the same SG. That little tester to test the alcohol I can hardly read. I kept a brew belt on during fermentation and up to stabilizing. Should I have not kept it on there? Or should it...

I just checked the old bottle of Ice Wine we bought for $24 and it says 8,5%........... Did I do something wrong? granny

what should it be and how do I get it there? Any suggestions for future batches? granny
