I don't have any that taste good after a month, even skeeter pee takes more time than that. It probably hasn't even starting clearing yet.

give it lots of time. 6 to 8 months will really make a huge difference.

I pour it back in to the carboy. dumping it put wold be alcohol abuse lol

I use a Buon mini jet also. It really isn't intended to make wine clear, it is to make clear wines really shine. I still rack at least three time and use a fining agent (if needed) to clear the wine before I filter. Skeeter pee for example really benefits from filtering. It is just...

I bought a gallon of pure cherry juice last fall for $10.00 at a fruit stand here in Michigan. I have not sampled or back sweetened yet but it smells wonderful. Probably will get to it this week, It has been ready for a while now, I've just been too busy. I think I am going wish I'd...

I make lots of wine so I cam drink lots of wine lol. I don't think it would be too many bottles to count but I'm not going to count them. This way I can continue to tell my doctor that I drink moderately.

We still go wine sampling a couple times a year and come home with a case or two. We call it R&D lol. There are a lot of great winemakers here in Michigan and it is a fun weekend. Wine sampling is what got us started in wine making. The variety would be hard to duplicate. And sometimes...

All of mine that have had the "rubber" smell have lost it over time. One turned out to be the best batch of apple wine I have made so far. That one took about 10 months before it was good to drink.

I've made a great blackberry and a not so great apricot. I have a blackberry and a raspberry in the carboys right now.

yep, buy them all. It starts with one but it don't take long before you need more. first time you rack you will need another one. Then since you have that carboy sitting there you will start another wine. Then comes time to rack again and on and on it goes lol.

Well I have noticed if I drink a lot of wine I do wake up the next day with a headache lol

0% kit, mostly fruit wines so far.

liked on face book and I already have told many people about this site

my wife does as much as I do. It is one of the reasons we think it is a great hobby. We both enjoy it. We also have got two other couples started making wine.

I used a blueberry slurry in a batch of skeeter pee about a month ago. It had fermented dry in the primary. I also used the mesh bag of berries. It took right off with no extra work. There is a bit of a sulphur nose that is slowly dissipating tho so I would use more nutrient next time...

Found some frozen blueberries at Gordon foods this weekend so I am going to start another batch. Next summer I'm going to get more berries in the freezer.

I added them at the beginning, used the blender to chop them up a bit. same with the blueberries. Threw them in a sanitized mesh bag and added the campdens and pectic enzyme. Wait 24 hours and pitched the yeast. I used montrachet.

I have made blueberry wine using 10 lbs blueberrys and 4 lbs raisins for a 5 gallon batch that turned out excellent with good body. I left one batch dry and oaked it. Even dry it has excellent body. I have made two batches so far and have a third in a carboy right now. I thought I got the...

Washington may be good for fruit but Michigan rules lol. We even can make ice wine.
