What is the best yeast to use in fruit wines. Strawberry, grape, cherry, ect.. thanks in advance.

Before I knew better I didnt use yeast, the guy I was getting my info from said theres natural yeast

Before i got into this group I started a wanna be wine and listened to a guy at work on how to make it.. no chemicals added.. he said just let the blueberries ferment in a bucket for no longer than 7 days, so that's what I did.. starting hydro was 1.125 or 16 %.. I then put the juice into a...

Thank you for your responses.. that helps me understand much better..

Ok this might be a stupid question but why Rack wine 2 and 3 times? That's just removing the sediment at the bottom essentially and allowing the wine to clear.. wouldnt the sediment stay at the bottom either way? Thanks

That is very appreciated.. I'm just starting out and could really use direction. I'm starting to read as much as I can. This is a great forum!!! things are starting to make sense.

Ok with that being said is it not time to rack it into the 5 gallon carboy? That's what I did..I shoved the airlock in and there are no gasses coming through it. I cant beleive start to finish in 7 days, ready to drink? Is that possible? Something just dosent seem right.. I've got blueberry...

Here is the recipe

Thank you for the help, I'll add the rest tonight when I get home. I'm guessing the yeast will pick up again?

Complete in 3 days? I did just notice the recipient called for 1 of everything and I was supposed to add more per gallon,which I didnt.. the recipient was for 1 gallon.. I was supposed to do 4 times more of the things on the recipie..think I should do that now after 3 days?

Yes. It was below 990
