I have had great results with black and blue berry, I use 2 gallons black berries and 1 gallon of blue berries for a 5 gallon batch. I do this because of the natural sulfites in the blue berries and the likelihood of sticking fermentation is less with more black berries. I also freeze the blue...

Yes,the O-ring blocks the liquid in and seals the air out. I just didn't have it tight enough to the O-ring. It frustrated the heck outa me till I noticed the water was in the threads. I tightened it again and it worked like a champ.

You sure come up with great labels Dan. You have a good eye.

Mine did that on my initial run using water, I just didn't have the housing tight enough.

So, if you make Jalapeno wine...make sure you soak your fermenter with oxi-clean and rinse very well. If you just washed it and rinsed it you may have to label your next batch of apple wine "PEPPERED CRAN-APPLE". That is because I tried covering the jalapeno residuals with Cranberry concentrate...

I couldn't decide which one, so......

That's the bottle I always look forward to. The taster.... I would also put it in to top up and not worry about it.

I have a rhubarb strawberry and banana clearing right now. It is very good. I would say you have enough rhubarb for about 1 gallon.

Happy Birthday o Wise One! Keep em comin!

It is amazing how much TLC some places need to grow something like black berries. I cant get them to go away. I have a full 1/4 acre of them. This year I am pulling them out with the excavator. After a fortune in sprays, they always come back..........

It is a personal preference thing. I like to concentrate it more so it doesn't dilute my ABV. If you think there is too much alcohol flavor go with out concentrating it more. I think you will enjoy it either way, it shouldnt dilute 6 gallons by much.

Hey Denise, how'd that saskatoon wine turn out?

Subscribing!

I think it would make an interesting combination of flavors. You want to reduce it down to syrup on the stove before adding it. Don't add it before you stabilize though.

Welcome! Great friendly people here.
