My muscadine wine had been sitting for months. I pulled out some muscadines from the freezer, mashed/squeezed juice and made I guess what would be a fruit pack. I added to the wine with some pectic enzyme to help clear. 3 weeks later, it's clear and very tasty. The extra juice brought the...

thank you for your advice. I was going to use sorbate and K-meta anyway, so this seems feasible.

I was thinking about pressing the juice from the muscadines and then making a syrup out of it on the stove. Would that pasteurize the juice? Of course, I would be adding some sorbate to the wine.

I have about 4 gallons of muscadine wine that just finished primary fermentation…started at 1.100 and after primary, .988. I just racked to carboys for secondary. In a few months, after secondary is done and cleared, I would like to back sweeten with some muscadine juice. I have a little over...

that's what I'll do the next time! thanks

It isn't a youtube recipe...it is from some natural food/drink site.

I joined the forum a while back to watch and learn. I've pretty much have been lurking. I've been making 1 gallon batches of different wines (and a couple of meads) to discover what my wife and I like. I recently tried out a recipe for Lemon/Lime/Basil wine (my wife loves all of those...

Hello Everyone! I "think" I'm getting ready to make my first small batch of wine. My wife and I have both recently retired, and so I find myself exploring new things to do. We have a few muscadine vines and were making jelly the other day, so I thought I should try some wine. I've been...
