    Peculiar film on top of melomel (and trying to fix the haze)

    Can’t really use bentonite. It would require adding too much water to the point that I’d be diluting the wine too much. But the honey heating trick I may use in the future. Also the haze has started to clear up. I still don’t know what caused it or why it now is stopping, but my best guess is...

    Peculiar film on top of melomel (and trying to fix the haze)

    I have a blackberry and black cherry melomel that I started brewing in back in early August. Recently during my checks I've noticed a thin, seemingly crystalline, iridescent film on the surface that is strong enough to pin some bubbles beneath it. I've been trying to identify it to make sure...

    Best way to transport wine

    Thanks everyone for all the help and tips! I've got the boxes the carboys came in, plus some packing padding, which I can use. For the wines still fermenting slightly I'll be sure to properly set the airlocks. As for drinking it, It's a bit too much wine to down in only a few days, but still...

    Racking wine's with small seeds/pulp

    I actually do have some old cheesecloth I had used for another thing, which I can use as a mesh. I had never figured on securing it around the tube as a filter, so thanks everyone for all the advice and tips!

    Racking wine's with small seeds/pulp

    I've been fermenting ~1 gallon of blackberry/wineberry wine for the past week and have set to rack it for secondary fermentation. My siphon has an inner diameter of 3/16in, which seems to be just the size for seeds from the primary fermenter to get stuck in. I've only been able to siphon off 3...

    Best way to transport wine

    I'm moving in about a week and a half. I have some 1 gallon carboys of wine I've brewed over the summer, which I have to be taking with me. They're all deep into secondary fermentation, and the youngest will be a month old when I have to move. Does anyone have any advice for how to transport...

    Adding must/fruit mid primary fermentation

    It's blackberry/wineberry season in PA, and I've decided to try my hands at making a wild berry wine. I'm not a complete novice, but I'm still rather new to winemaking. I've attached the recipe I made, in case that matters. I decided to make 1 gallon, which would require about 3.5 quarts of...
