OK, did anothen 5 minute stur with the power drill....took SG and it was 1026???? This is the fastest fermintation I have ever seen. Temp is a steady 72. Time will tell

I sturred it with a power drill for a good 5 minutes, but I pored the sugar in a bit at a time while using the drill. I will give it a good sturring again tonight and see what I get for a reading. Thanks

Oh yea, its an 11 gallon batch

I've had them drop 15-20 overnight but never that much. Will take another reading in the morning.

I just started a Bach of blackberry/current. All was great, had a starting sg of 1091, 36 hours latter I'm reading 1043, I have never had one drop this fast. Has anyone ever seen this?????

145 bottles of wine one the wall, 145 bottles of win, take one down and pass it around, 144 bottles of wine on the wall !!!!

Ok I see my confusion now, the instructions list all 3. I have the Vino Del Vida Merlot. :slp

:m Well so much for following the directions to a tee.... I was doing fine till I added the final water and was looking at the wrong mark on my primary.........ooops filled it to 7 gallons. Tested the SG and had 1069, to low. So what the heck I must improvise, so I added 1 Quart of huckelberry...

It will hold 283 bottles i think !!!

They were both 5 gallon batches, I also did a 2 gallon batch of apple and added cinnamon sticks the last rack and let them sit for a month and they came out real nice.

THEY TASTE GREAT :br I know they are better if left for a year but it will be hard to let them sit for that long !!!!!! when chilled and sitting out on the deck on a hot day they were so good, this wine making is so much fun:se

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to my post, had to make 2 trips to Alaska and now I am playing catch up. So I went and got 15 pounds of fresh strawberry's and put them through my steamer and got about 1.5 gallons of juice and a coffee can of pulp that is in the freezer. What do you think...

Thanks for the info:h

How do I find Luc ????
