I made my first batch exactly to the recipe. I just don't think it has much flavor so I added a pound of raisins and some lemon zest to try and help it. I also added the juices from 3lbs of berries It has now been 2 months and it is ok to drink but I don't. My wife says she will drink it but I...

Yes I made it exactly as the recipe states. I've had it finished in a carboy for a month. Maybe I'll give it awhile longer. Would bottling it be any different than leaving it in the carboy?i don't want to waste my time bottling it if I don't like it

Ok so I made the original recipe DB and I'm sorry to say but so far I'm not a fan. I tried adding raisins and lemon zest and I just can't get myself to like it. I was thinking about adding a raspberry extract to it to make it drinkable instead of pouring down the drain? I'm not giving up though...

Dale, How many raisins did you add? Do you just toss them in the carboy? I'm willing to try anything because I don't want to dump it. Flat is exactly how I would describe it.

How long have you aged it?

Do you mind me asking if you doubled the fruit? I made it with 6lbs of fruit and feel like its bland not much flavor at all. Just trying to figure out if I just don't like it , did something wrong or if it just needs time? I tried adding the juices from another 32oz of fruit and it had more...

Yeah the Sangria is great. Wish I would have added sugar but it was my first kit. I will be doing it again and adding sugar. Has anyone tried the pink lemonade? Ordered one hoping its good.

Ok so I sweetened the DB 5 days ago which I know I should just let sit for while but I'm leaving town for 4 weeks and wanted to see if I like the DB before I left. I think it needs more flavor so I bought 36oz more of the quadberries and boil them and strain off all the juices and add them to...

Thank You. I tried first day sweetened and thought oh gross. But after a couple days it is getting better I'm just wondering what to expect. Thanks again.

.??? Anybody????

When finished is this wine similar to white Zinfandel or more of a fruit wine?

What is the quickest someone has made DB? The reason I ask is because it seems like it went way too fast. I added super kleer yesterday and it's clearing quick. I started on March 13th. Does that seem quick or am I nuts?

Thank you stonecreek Rmstuck Newbie

Quick question I started DB yesterday so today I'm adding the yeast do I seal the lid and put in vapo lock or continue to leave the lid loose on top with a towel over it? Rmstuck Newbie
