Thanks guys,

Hi , How much potassium metabisulfite do you add every 3 months ? Thanks

I have done 3 batches, 4kgs in one primary, 4kgs in another primary , and all the skins and cores in another, covered with fluid, added 2 Campden tablets in each, and covered. lets see what tomorrow brings, as i have seen some wine recipes where you can make wine only from the skins and cores...

Im away to start a batch of pineapple, Is it ok to use the skins and core with the fruit in the primary ? Or do you guys recommend boiling skins and core separate and just add the extracted juice to the primary with the fruit? The last time i did pineapple i discarded the skin and core.

Yes, perhaps i am getting a stronger alcohol at the cost of losing more flavour. However, i cannot do much about the temperature here. Maybe i will use 50% more fruit next time just to see if that increases the flavour. I have 5 gallons of Pineapple and 5 gallons of banana wine made with palm...

Hi guys, Has anyone used a blutooth hydrometer. Put it in at the start of the ferment and leave it. Tracks your SG and temperature via an app. No need to open and take samples .

Yes, but at least in the west there are some regulations to what is actually in the fluid, dont trust much here, We have even seen fake rice for sale which was made of plastic shavings, crazy,, I think in future i am going to use the cheap unrefined sugar, which i used in my first batch and was...

Thanks I hope it will get less bitter with time. I will check it next week as i am going to leave it in the carboy until i am happy with it. The palm sugar, I bought some liquid palm sugar for ease of use, but im not sure how much is in it, it is pretty thick viscosity. I also bought some...

Thanks mate, So better to have less sugar at the start and add if require during and or back sweeten at the end to taste. ? Would that be a correct? Cheers George
