I over fermented and now I have some super strong wine. Can I make some wine and stop the fermentation early then blend it with what I have?

I think you will be fine using either one. I made a gewurztraminer kit last year (6 gallon) and didn't really care for it, it was too dry and just bland. I had three gallons of Welch's wine so I mixed them together and found that it was pretty good. I don't like Welch's wine because it's too...

Thank you for all of your help. I have my old auto siphon that is sized for one gallon batches. I am going to zip tie it to a broken plastic hanger and lower it into my carboy as the wine level drops. I am also going to cut the broken and cracked end of the other one and try to slide tubing...

I was removing the tubing from my racking cane and the hooked end broke off and cracked what was left. I'm in a bit of a jam because I don't live close to any supply stores and I really need to rack before Monday. Any suggestions? I know I could pay over night shipping and get one tomorrow...

Hi folks, I have been making wine from kits and store bought juice for a few months now, but I don't really know much about making wine. I am considering asking my husband to get me a juicer for Christmas. Has anyone made wine with juice processed from fruit through a juicer? Just to give you...

I bought patterned paper at a scrapbook supply store and printed the type of wine and date on the paper, then used some scrapbook stamps to make it extra special. Cut the paper with and attached it with a glue stick. I like this because I can customize a bottle for a birthday gift or girls...

I did not know about screw top wine bottles, I did consider the bladder bags from Northern Brewer, I'm kinda small and I don't really know how hard it will be to cork. Thanks for the tip.

Hi everyone, I started with a Mr. Beer kit I bought dirt cheap on woot! just for the fun of it. I made a few extract beers and one all grain but I am not as much of a beer drinker as I am a wine drinker so I think I will enjoy making wine a little more. I only had to buy a few things to...
