i was very skeptical that it may not have enough body but its a really good white wine that smells like pineapple and has a smooth after taste of it as well. I was VERY impressed.... I will make another batch soon enough, thats for sure!!

The pineapple wine that i am currently bulk aging, i used 5 pineapples and 2 cans of pineapple frozen concentrate. It is awesome and probably my best fruit wine so far....

What is a good average fruit wine aging temperature? just curious.... Thanks, David

thanks tom, appreciate it

so what your saying is if i rack the wine through a fine mesh filter it wont help the wine clear and eliminate the amount of sediment that builds up on the bottom?

Well i understand that part but i always read what people add to get rid of headspace within the carboy or container they racked into.... since fruit wines create alot more lees and require alot more racking and clearing, would an few fine strainings (not filtering/polishing) do the trick...

my next question, when racking wine I'm running low on my spare wine to add to top off batch to 1 gallon, what is good to top off a pear wine? some sort of white grape juice? how about other fruit wines? is there a good general juice could use that doesn't have an overpowering flavor to top...

Thats sounds good SC, ill have to try that while watching the airlock fart.

Jdaddy is right, there is no way to determine how long the fermentation will last. but a hydrometer doesnt lie. If the reading is the same 3 seperate tests then it has usually stopped then your ready to Rack. But if your still not sure wait a few more days, or when u have time (the beauty of...

I totally agree with Grapeman......Floorcorker and done! SET IT AND FORGET IT! But i do understand because most people are on a budget these days and in that case if you going to do it, do it once! you'll be glad you did....

Welcome BB! Whats on the bubbling menu?

Thanks 332! thats some good advice..... :r

I've noticed that it is very hard to find 3 gallon batch recipes for fruit wine in general, which is why i have a 1 gallon test kit and a 6 gallon kit as well. good luck finding that perticular recipe! you may want to experiment with 1 gallon and create your own! :db
