    Mustang Grape Wine

    Update! We stirred once during the past week and today I stirred and tested. On my mustang ferment and my peach ferment, the hydrometer basically sat on the bottom of the tube. So, I'm assuming that means it is done fermenting and it is time to syphon to a carboy? Any advice is welcome!

    @KCCam and @sour_grapes thank you for all of this information! Yes, I am keeping a log book (actually an online google form found on this site). I'm going to keep fermenting until it is below 1.000 for at least 3 days as you said. Again, thank you so much. I really learn so much better by doing...

    Peach Wine...

    Thank you for sharing your expertise! I'm finishing up day 4 of fermentation. Can I add more Pectic Enzyme now? I initially added 1 tsp when started.

    Four followup questions: 1. How do I go about floating the hydrometer? That sounds like a great idea! 2. I do have pH strips, so I will make sure they are accurate. I'm sure you'll receive an update tomorrow with the results. HAHA 3. I'm more of a bourbon or Prosecco drinker. LOL I'd love to...

    Peach Wine...

    This thread is so informative! If I am going to let the peach wine age, is it okay to just let it clear naturally as I syphon it to a new carboy every three months?

    Peach Wine...

    When you say that you like 10lb per gallon, does that mean you take 10 lbs of fresh fruit (with pits), remove pits and mash? Does that ensure you have a full gallon to ferment?

    Mustang Grape Wine

    I am obsessed enough to take it! I can't let this batch fail. LOL Plus, I have a smaller batch of fresh peach wine going, so I have the first-time mama jitters. Luckily we aren't traveling far and our camper is set up, so I have the time to do whatever needs to be done. Now that I know I can...

    Mustang Grape Wine

    Thank you! I'm obviously still learning. LOL It is currently in a 7 gallon bucket. I have 1-gallon and a 1/2 gallon carboy, but I could go get a larger one. We are going on a 6-day camping trip (travel trailer), so I am crazy enough to take the fermenting bucket/carboy with me. I'm just not...
