I did stir every day . Maybe next time I'll try a different yeast (used EC-118 ) and add more energizer . Thanks for the help everyone.

I did use a yeast nutrient and energizer when I started . I really didn't want it that sweet but it's ok .

I started a wine from frozen juice ( minute maid) on Feb 29,2016 . The starting SG was 1.070 I checked it a couple weeks ago the SG was 1.004 . I then put it in a carboy and checked again today it's still at 1.004 . Just wondering if I should add more yeast to take it under SG 1.000 . It's been...

Ok I've poured the bottles of wine into a carboy . Decided that 2 of them were enough alike it would be ok . The third one I tried mixing them in a glass first to make sure it wouldn't mess the taste up totally . I can live with that . It's only a small carboy . Still had a couple bottles left...

I think now I must have used the Potassium metabisulphite as the stabilizer before . It was over a year since I had made a batch from juice so must have just forgot . Thanks again for helping me out .

Guess I have been lucky then . I have some in there I made a couple years ago . Better get drinking them lol . Thanks for your help .

So sorbate stops the yeast but not Kieselsol ?

No I didn't add sorbate , just the Kieselsol that is the Super-Kleer . I never used anything else before I didn't have any troubles . The tart cherry juice one I added Potassium metabisulphite after adding Super-Kleer because there were still bubbles coming up in the airlock . waited then...

I've been making wine for a few years now . Started with kits then after the help from members here I made different wines from fruit juices . I have never had a problem with the the wine not stabilizing and refermenting after I bottled it . I use Super-Kleer K.C. all the time . I did back...

OMG that's so funny thanks for sharing . I needed a good laugh today .

Sorry I didn't post that right i already have the slurries just only 1 pack of EC-1118 . Yeah thats what I was wondering about was the off taste created with the turbo yeast, definitely couldn't charcoal filter it and take all the flavour away . Just thought it might be different making it with...

I only have one pack of EC-1118 and one Liquor Quik Super Yeast X-Press that you use when making alcoholbase .I'm not going to make it the 20% alc that can be with the super yeast but they have it figured out for 12% so thought I would go with that strength . Here's what it says for ingredients...

You should check it more then one day to make sure it really is done . It won't hurt it if you leave it the 12 days before you do anything to it even if it is done sooner .

I agree with you but do a couple little things different as soon as I pull my machine out to start I put the filters to soak . Then when I'm ready to start I run about a litre of water through first then a bit of wine , then do a taste test before I go all the way with the filtering . I've found...

would depend on what type of wine you are looking for .

Plain and simple Mr.Clean magic eraser the heavy duty one . If that doesn't work I use a small dab of Goo - Gone but you have to be very careful not to get it in the bottles because it's oil based and hard to get off the glass .

Thats what I like people telling it how they felt in thier own words when they describe the wines . I have never had a Gruner Veltliner so I think I will get one at NSLC and give it a try before I buy the kit .It does sound like something I would like so does the Pacifica .I like different wines...

OK now that I'm on the right week tell me how it went .

Wish the tasting was a little earlier then we could have done both in one trip. Have a good time and let us know what you think of the new wines and Tim . You will probably learn some good stuff.

Need to get my Cranapple Chardonnay filtered today so it's ready for Xmas .Then off to see Johnny Reid in concert tonight :D .
