I've done rwo Diablo's. Mainly because the ladies say it's just like factory "Apothic" and they really liked it. Super sweet and fruit forward with a med+ body.
Don't know about the odd smell, but both have smelled very strong but fruity in the primary when I put them down.
Hey everyone, got a new one for you all.
I live in Northern Alberta Canada and last Monday I was evacuated from my town because of an 815000 acre forest fire. This froggen fire has a perimeter of 360 miles.
Readon for my post is that on the night I was evacuated I was supposed to rack my old...
Morning everyone,
Just an update on my apple wine.
I back sweetened it with mango. I haven't tried it yet but I've decided that for this batch, however it turns out then that's what I'll drink.
Before I back sweetened it however, it was clear as clear can be (I was quite taken by how clear...
[wait 7 months to a year,]
7 more months? Gawd. Thats a long time to wait for a buzz on the patio:h
Truth be said, once I back sweeten it, I'm going to bulk age it until the spring.
Too cold up here now to enjoy it anyway. -44 here today with the wind chill.:sh

It really worked again after the addition of the apple juice so I figured if nothing else, it generated some more alcohol. No matter, if it didn't, it'll be a cooler wine
I used right around 50 lbs of apples for my 5 gallon batch.
The color is wonderful and its crystal clear.
I think I'll try to backsweeten as my wife and her buds enjoy sweet drinks.
How much k- meta do I use with the pot-sorbate before I back sweeten?
I'll see if I can post the recipe...
I made a batch of 5 gallon apple wine back in August from the apples on my tree. I did the final rack today and tested it (of course) I can taste the booze and it's dry ( that doesn't matter) but the apple flavor is faint at best.
1. How can I sweeten / flavour it?
2. Will it start up again...
That part confuses me a bit. I know the sorbate stops the fermentation. But I don't plan on adding anymore fermentables so when this new juice is finished working can I just leave it and not add sorbate?
I don't mind adding sorbate at all. Just wondering if there are other options at the end...
Well, I racked the apple wine and added a few liters of apple juice to top it up. That was about a week ago and its been re-working ever since.
Wonder how long its going to work?
I know, until the yeast is done with the sugar. I just didn't think it would go on this long.
Can't wait to...
