Just looking around for my next project! I'm just wondering is this yellow skinned banans or the speckled black bananas your adding? :D

I just started my 'Fest Juice' 23 L Pasteurize 'pinot noir' I noticed when I was pouring the juice in my 33L primary it didn't have a good waft of grape odour or basically was really weak and 'odourless'. The ingredients on the container was, Varietal Juice, sulfites, and another one I can't...

My Festa Juice Pinot Noir 23L varietal juice wine kit, says to put my betonite in during 2nd fermentation. Although it does not give instructions of how to add it, just add it to the racked wine in 2nd, and mix vigorously! Somehow I don't trust these instructions!

Ah, my other wine kit has a clear shellfish clearing agent, which was called chitosen or something, I bought a pack of super kleer and it was the same thing. Just in case! Do I add the 1/4tsp per 6 gallon after I rack into clean carboy, Does this need any disolving with water or the wine in...

I'm not sure if i should post my sorbate related concerns here, but I do have questions about sorbate. I recently bought a kit 3 days ago it is a Fest Juice Pinot Noir 23L juice. I opened it up yesterday and noticed small sandwich pack of instructions and it includes K-meta, wine yeast and...

Hi, I'm new to winemaking from a kit. I recently bottled the wine one week ago on Christmas Eve. There is a finished bedroom in my basement with a door. There is a closet in this room with carpet floor that is about 67.4F (19 C) 33%Humidity, which is the coldest room in the house. I...

Great question! I have another question to add to this. I'm confused. Why does it stop fermentation after 3 SG readings anyway? Is it because the alcohol content of the batch kills the wine yeast or does it create an unfavorable environment, like maybe the yeast is still alive(i'm not...

I'm new to wine making just picked up a kit on impulse. Regarding, K-Meta I understand that (1/4 teaspoon K-Meta:6gallon batch wine) is to kill off wild yeast and microorganisms and that (3 tablespoons K-META:1 gallon) is effective sanitizing solution. K-meta uses the fumes to sanitize I...
