@Fran365 I just finished a 1 gallon batch using White Grape-Peach from Wally-world. Letting it age in the bottles, but WOW.......It's fantastic. I can see why you named it Trojan horse, it does sneak up on you. Thanks for sharing. Time to make another batch as this one will defiantly be a...

Thanks, now to convince the wife this is something we want next.....

Sounds like a plan. I think I found my next batch......

Sounds good, might do a gallon to see how it comes out. Couldn't find Old Orchid Berry Blend locally after checking their website. Guess a trip to Sun Harvest is in order, have the most organic juices around. Maybe find something similar. For the bananas, do you take the peels off? I'm...

4. After 4 or 5 days, carefully siphon the wine into a 3 gallon carboy*so as to leave most of the sediment behind. Add: • 3 3-inch cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces * 3 Cloves • 1/2 oz. shredded ginger root 5. Allow the wine to ferment another 2 to 3 weeks under air-lock, or until the...

Modified two recipes from this website and ECKraus. How does this sound for a 3 gallon batch of spiced apple wine? 3 gallons of apple cider. It is important however, to make sure that no preservatives have been added to the cider that might interfere with the fermentation. Cider that...

Thank you I appreciate the quick responses.

96 hours in the fermenter, SG is 1.044. Still going.

72 hours after adding yeast. Starting SG was 1.090, today 1.060. Coming down.

I purchased a kit with a 6.5 gallon fermenter and a 3 gallon carboy. My first batch of blueberry wine is in the fermenter and is around 4.5 gallons. Figure I'll get the full 3 gallons when racking into the carboy. Looking at the recipes pages, there are several the wife and I would like to...

All is good, woke up this morning and I had bubbles...........Yeah! What a relief. Thank you for the quick responses, put my mind at ease.

Thank you. I've been watching, waiting for my first bubbles.........

I followed the directions for making blueberry wine to the letter, EXCEPT, I was distracted and added the yeast directly to the must without re-hydrating. I'm using Red Star Montrachet yeast. Will this be a problem? Should I re-hydrate another package correctly and add to the must? Or wait...
