Does anyone ever put fruit in a straining bag in their steam juicer? I was given two bags of strawberries that were smashed to make jam and now instead I was wondering if I could put that in a straining bag in the top of the steam juicer. If I would put it directly in it pretty sure it would all...

Just started a mulberry wine. Started with 30 pounds of frozen berries and now have a 6 gallon batch going. Excited to see how it turns out

Does the wine have an off smell to it at all?

Ok I’ll get it bottled here then. Thanks!

What if I would sweeten the last 6 bottles with a little grape concentrate or sugar/water. It wouldn’t mess anything up or pop corks?

Was just wondering here about campden tablets. I was going to bottle some grape wine about 5 to 6 days ago so I added stabilizer and 5 campden tablets. But a couple things came up and it never got bottled. I was going to bottle later today now and was wondering should I add some more campden...

H hey Arne I know this is a couple years back but did you add any hot water to this recipe like a lot of other recipes call for?

So I have 13 pounds of frozen pited sour cherrys. Anyone have a good recipe?

The two batches I’ve added the concentrate to so far are rhubarb and a strawberry/rhubarb. The next batch that is clearing up and about ready is a Concord grape. I think I will do some trials with that one. Thanks for all the input!

Ok I understand that. So what would you say is best way sweeten wine? I have some older neighbors that always say to add white grape concentrate. But I’m willing to try anything to make it the best!

Does anyone ever have a problem with wine getting cloudy after sweetening? I had two batches that were clear as could be and done fermenting for sure but as soon as I added the white grape concentrate and stabilizer (potassium sorbate) it turns cloudy. It slowing is clearing but taking some...

Does anyone have a good 5 gallon recipe for a strawberry/rhubarb wine that they really like? Thanks in advance

Yeah today it's bubbling really good! Thanks a ton for your input. But now I'll have to try each way with the yeast and see how it reacts. It's my first batch ever so lots of experimenting to do yet

Do you prefer sprinkling the yeast or do you think both ways work the same?

I put a new pack of yeast in yesterday and this morning it was already working. Must've had a bad batch of yeast cause now you can really tell it's working.
