    wine is too sweet!

    let it ferment as long as I could and when it was stuck at 1.000 sg tried adding yeast energizer and that still didnt work any suggestions on what I should do? Should I add a dry wine to it?

    maybe it is done fermenting? and all the yeast is dead or converted into alcohol? If that were the case and I didnt add any sulfites not realizing it was done, its probably mold? I will add a picture here in a sec.

    lees floating

    Its got to be really close to being done with fermentaion but I have no way of checking until thursday when my order comes as I shattered my hydrometer plus I need more bungs. So you say MLF is this malolactic fermentation? And if so I didnt know that it does that unless you add malolactic...

    lees floating

    Its not quite complete yet. And by bubble I mean the CO2 coming up from the bottom when it hits the surface the gunk falls back down.

    lees floating

    Maybe this one was a stupid question! Just want to know if its normal.

    lees floating

    Is it normal for the lees to float from the bottom to the top while gertting reall close to the end of fermentation? The bubble carry it up and when it pops they fall back down. Anybody ever seen this before?

    leak in my airlock

    Its not really a big leak but I just have some tape wrapped around it for now and it doesnt seem like the airlock is moving at all and then to top it all off I dropped my hydrometer on the floor and shattered it to pieces. Let me tell you today has not been a very good day at all for me! Can you...

    Hello From Minnesota

    I was born and raised in Brainerd not to confuse you with Pine River. We really don't like it here in Pine River it's nice but the people seem to be a little different at times. And I guess even get a little worse bit farther north of us.
