I'm making a batch of corn wine and the instructions tell me to put plastic on the secondary. I'm new at this but all the other wines that I have made called for putting cheese cloth or something to enable the yeast to get oxygen. What do you think?

I posted this yesterday but no response so here it is again, I hope I will get a little feedback here! I did check the recipes, here and on Jack's site but I didn't see a blend of Blackberries and Blueberries. I just poured the frozen blackberries and blueberries into a 5 gallon bucket...

I know this is an elementary question but I have not did this before...I'm making a starter i.a.w. instructions from Jack's web-site. My question is, what does the yeast look like in the jar if it is working, I was expecting a crust to form at the top after a few minutes but all the yeast went...

After 30 days I siphoned my plum wine into a clean gl jug. I could not get enough out on my jug without disturbing the botton junk. I needed more to top-up so I used water......I know, I know...I had a senior moment! I'm wondering if I completely ruined the wine? I had to add a plastic water...

Jack said, add 1/8 teaspoon of tartaric acid for bland tasting wine, is this the same as Acid Blend, I see it has tartaric acid in it? thanks

I started a batch of skeeter this morning and my SG was 1.03, I started to add more sugar but decided to ask someone first. Anyway, I got side tracked for a couple of hours then took another reading and now it is 1.06. The owner of the web-site for the recipe stated that he shot for a S.G...
