Willie how much are you using in a 6 gallon batch

Well decided to add the 3 lb can of Vintner's Reserve sweet cherry puree to the primary. It's been 5 days and I'm down to about 1.004. Went with KV1-1116 yeast. So far I have a nice color and a fruity smell.

I want to use a sweet cherry puree in the primary. Anybody tried this

Using the reverse method when should you move it to the secondary

Just noticed that the JAOM that I started in June is only in a 1/2 gallon bottle not a 1 gallon. Should I add a 1/2 gallon water and let it sit or just let it go?

Tried rhubarb wine for the first time a couple days ago in gatlinburg it was tart but very tasty

after 4 days I'm at .995 can this be right. here is what I used 2 lbs honey 3 lbs strawberrys 1118 yeast

Thanks I'll try that. I do here the hissing when I push down the fruit every day.

I'm making a strawberry mead and after 4 days i'm not seeing much action in the fermenter. not much foam at all. Should I pitch some fresh yeast

ended up just racking and sweetening. And drinking a lot of it after that.

Tommarrow is bottling day!!!! but my pee is still cloudy

Its a 5 gallon batch

thats the same way mine started was about 24 to 30 hours before it really took off.

I may have added 1.5 tsp sorbate and 1 tsp kmeta. Also added superkleer which has done nothing at all

I have glasses but choose not to wear them. Duh. Post fermentation before sweetening on a 5 gallon batch I think I added the right amount or too little Kmeta
