My wine tastes like Sherry??? Why?

Well I have made an uber mistake......making banana wine and the thing is going to foam over soon.....need soemthing to put it in exta and I do not have and it is only 24 hours old!

Thank you, I think I will move it away from sight......this may help with my temptation!

Thank you guys I need patience. I will leave it then as you say.

This tastes sooooooo goood I am not sure it will last till it can be bottled :h

Disaster!!!! Help!! I have tried the wine...it has a very slight taste of peace and is alcholic but is very watery..... Where did I go wrong? How can I rescue???

Thanks - very helpful mate!

:b Ooooh with Cinnamon Sticks .........sounds lovely...thanks for reply.

I would like answer to above.....just racked off and SG makes it 16.8% oooh its is sweet and then jumps on your chest!!! Love it!:h:h:h:h:h

Cork or Rubber corks for demijohns? Which would you say is best?

Once again many thanks. Where is "MO"?

Thank you this again is really helpful. May I ask "Remember to add sulphites (no sorbate) every 3 months IF you plan on waiting for over 6 months" What are sulphites?

Thanks, would you leave the wine several months on the lees or rack off the lees?

So you are waiting 9 months to bottle? Could you inform me how often you would rack in that time period?

This is really helpful. So when see the bubbles stop....rack and then keep racking (leaving under bubbleometer) until it is clear every 4-6 weeks for months or until clear. Mine is hazy but has some sediment already so I think is still fermenting. It was only started 19th May.
