Thanks for all the input. It did end up falling after a little movement.

I have an apple wine in a carboy and I notice that there seems to be sediment on top and not settling on the bottom?? Could this be mold or something? Tera

Mine had 2 F-packs as well. What's the verdict? Use both or just one?

Thanks, I'm not going to spend money on a press then. I will try to fit as much in the freezer as possible. Hopefully at least for one batch, then I can move on to the next batch. Do either of you have a great recipe to share?

...Or a juicer?

Ok, so how about a blender and then straining out the pulp?

I am going to freeze the apples first and then thaw and extract the juice.

I have 90 lbs of apples from my Dad's tree. I am hoping to find a few different varieties of recipes. I see one recipe posted for straight Apple Wine and a couple for Apple Cider; maybe I'm not looking in the right place? I am looking for something fairly easy, I am still fairly new at homemade...

Nevermind, I found some.

I don't see a recipe for rhubarb wine here. I have a recipe that I am trying to follow. However, I would like to see another version. This recipe has me "mash" the rhubarb but I'm not getting any juice...? Should I try boiling it in some water like with the beet wine recipe?

That's a great label! I love it! I am excited to try my first pumpkin spice wine this fall!

I just started this banana spice recipe tonight! Smells Great!!! I am very excited to try it!

Yes, I had some sediment in the carboy. I should have racked an additional time. Now I know better for next time :)

It's only 3-4 bottles that have sediment so I suppose it isn't worth going back to the carboy. Thanks!

I bottled my first batch and have some sediment in the first bottle and the last couple...is this ok or should I do something? The bottles are already corked... Thanks for your time! Tera

I stirred it (because I was afraid to stir it after I added the yeast before) and then I tested it and it was at 1.09. I added another packet of yeast and covered... Thanks for your help!! How if your pumpkin spice wine? Sounds excellent!
