It has been a while a I missed an important step before taking out of primary and putting in secondary. I did not degas the wine. I have three five gallon batches that I just recently (all within two weeks) transfered to the secondary carboy. Should I siphon back out into a bucket, leave...

Pictures of batch #2 and #3. #2 is top still slowly going but coming down. #3 is still going nuts.

#3 is going crazy! #2 is slightly more frequent. Must have been temperature. Upstairs is right around 70-72

The initial was just yeast nutrient. As far was what I can tell from the recipes it does not say add more. It has only been in the 60s here this week. House is between 67-70 (do not want to turn heat on yet :( ). I though it may be the cool. Only thing about that is the peach batch I have...

Getting a little worried. Batch #2 has had yeast in it for 6 days. The SG has barley dropped. It bubbles but not as fast as the peach I have going or Blueberry batches in years past. I added some yeast energizer and that does not to seem to have made a difference. The starting SG for batch...

My buddy just dropped off 150 pounds of fresh macintosh apples. I do not have a press and the local supply store wont have theirs available in time before they go bad. Aprt from buying a press any suggestions on what I could turn these beautiful things into?

Hello everyone! I currently have two batches of blueberry wine going. Both are different recipes. The first recipe is from another forum I found. It is under maintenance right now so I can't add the recipe. The second was from wine making magazine...

I found a 3 gallon recipe in the Country Fruit Wine section. It was suggested by Boatboy24. I will log that in the Country Fruit wine section. I have been reading more about keeping it in a cold bath to slow the fermentation. Would this be useful on my blueberry wine also. My basement is...

Hello all. I started making wine 11 years ago and got busy..... The wife and I have re-sparked our interest in making wine. Thankfully we have all the hardware yet! We are just fuzzy on some of the knowledge. WE grow blueberries so we love blueberry wine!! We also just got 25-30 pounds of...
