thanks guys ill try both and see what i get.

I'm doing petite syrah from a juice bucket this is my first year doing wine from fresh juice. The SG got down to 1.000 in about 6 days so i racked it to carboy and its been 7 days since racking and the SG has not changed should I be worried that the fermentation might be stuck I've only done...

ok did the additions and now letting it sit over night will pitch yeast tomorrow morning. cant wait for the pinot its my favorite red.

i also have a pinot noir coming in on Monday :try any tips from those who have done this before the guy i bought it from said the acids where already adjusted.

Hey there was a sale on dryed and candied fruit this week. Was going to buy some but was wondering what fruit give the best body to the wine? what point in fermentation would i add them? and how many lbs?

thanks those are my first wine crates. just finished cleaning it all well worth the elbow grease. now to get some wine in those carboys :ib

yeah all the wine was home made and the dude just didn't take the labels off. and all the wine was oxidized so i got 30 empty bottles now which only 5 don't match the rest so 25 of the same and 5 odd ball bottles. 5 bucks for both crates lol

well went out to an estate sale from a wine maker. here is what i got for $20 30 and 23 litter carboys bottle tree 5 gallon primary 2 cases of wine no idea if the wine is any good or not but the bottles are a little oxi clean and the bottle should be good to use.

one of my favorite places to go. they also have a wide selection of fresh locally grown vegetables too and all there prices are really reasonable. Decided that i might do a diamond/concord mix

i took a look at your blends they all sound good and yes they are cheaper then kits one of the reason i want to get into juice. They do sell vino del vida kits from 44-49 bucks witch is pretty cheap but the quality is not the best and would like to kick it up a notch =) once i get the juice ill...

Hey i have not posted in a while was waiting to get some fresh grape juice buckets for this years wine. I was wondering if there any good recopies to mix wine after its done so i know what grape juices to order. Here is a list of juice buckets i can order. would like to make a nice red mix or a...

True but I found this one and think it might do the job.

thanks now for the next batch i need to find a pin up girl with red on b/c that is what color it will be tinted :r

thanks that would be nice of you.

already did the sg was 1.042 about 5.5% when its done going to make a few batches for the summer drink as little as I can now which will be hard. I plan on making a few different flavors by using cans of frozen juice con.

My first batch is done and bottled :D tastes grate I back sweetened with Welches white grape con and some sugar final sg 1.032 turned out so good i started my next batch and plan on adding a can or 2 of cherry/pomegranate con. to back sweeten it. ABV 5.25% what I aimed for I want to keep it at...

thanks 180 is a bit but not a bad investment since I can get tons of berries each year and canning the juice is not a bad idea.

oh I see tricky tricky lol

thats not a bad idea I have been looking into getting a steam juicer. Any good suggestions for a decent steam juicer?
