No I didnt top off with water. I topped off with Yellow Tail Riesling. It wound up taking about 5 bottles with both rackings to keep it topped off in my carboy. Oh well I would rather do that then rack in some lees. I have bottled this wine about a week ago and it turned out very well.

Yes it does feel good, SWEET! I cant change my name from okwine because I cannot deny my Sooner heritage, LOL! Man I didnt check the beginning specifice gravity but it seems like this has some kick. I added four cups of sugar to the gallon of juice.

I dont know surely a better vitner than me will kick in here. In my limited experience in wine making I degass a 6 gallon carboy about 5 times at 2 or 3 minutes at a time between 22 and 25 inches of mecury on my vacum pump. Hopefully it is degassed by that time. What say you?

Just had a glass of the homemade wine I started just after new years. It was made out of Wal-Mart 100% grape juice +sugar. I let it do its thing in a 1 gallon carboy, even letting it clear by itself before racking it off of the lees. I have tasted it along the way and it was okay I told...

Okay thanks. Now Wait Wait Wait:slp

Yes there is an F pac

Before I got any equipment or found this forum or anything I mixed up some great value 100% grape juice with simple syrup in a couple of one gallon carboys. I pitched the yeast yada yada and now two months later it has cleared to a beautiful color. I have not racked it yet. I tried some and...

thanks for the replies

What is your favorite white wine kit to make. Brand and type please.

Okay thanks Wade and the pump works great :db

I have degassed with vacuum about five times now at around 20 inches for about 5 minutes each time and I still get bubbles. Have i degassed sufficiently?
