I have a batch of canned pear wine going. From my SG readings I think it will end up being just a tad strong. The problem started when I pureed the pears instead of chopping them up. I did add a generous amount of pectin enzyme. The resulting must was super thick. The only way I could estimate...

I have been experimenting with a few dry wines. This is the one that turned out the very best. Also I like wines like Pinot Noir and do not like melots much. So take that into consideration if you are going to make this wine. If you like wines like merlots you might want to add more grape...

I have read that grape juices are light colored and red wines only get their color when they sit on the skins. I have also crushed some fresh grapes just to see and found their juice to be very light. I know I have not tried this on many grape varieties. Today I started thinking, if pressing...

How do the people here who make pear wine prepare their pears. I have a couple pears trees so they do not all ripen at the same time. I don't think I will have enough to do separate batches with each type for a couple more years. Do you freeze the pears? Do you chop them up before you squeeze...

Has anyone ever tried a wine made in part or completely from agave nectar?

I have seen a lot of people say they leave their carboys full when not in use. It seems like a good idea. After burning through ten pounds of k-meta I think I might be missing something. Do you make the solution full strength or a weaker version? Would a full strength solution only about...

I have seen recipes for cherry wine using fresh cherries but not dried cherries. How many pounds of dried cherries should I use per gallon. The recipes I have seen call for 7lb of fresh cherries per gallon. Does anyone have a recipe for dried cherries? It does not have to be just cherries. I...

I am very new to this. I have a batch of cranberry lime skeeter pee (http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/blog.php?b=17) which was down to 1.020 last night. It was time to add some super ferment. The store near me does not have nutrient and energizer separately. So I added 3 tablespoons. My wife...

There are so many fruits to choose from. I have very little idea of where to go next. So I thought I would take a poll from people with a lot more experience. What is your favorite type of fruit wine. Since there can be a huge difference between two wines made from the same fruit, please post...

Well I have my first batch of wine fermenting. I guess it is fermenting. It has only had yeast for about 4 hours. I descided to start with something cheap and simple so I tried some SP. Of course I am using yeast instead of must since this is my first batch ever. Even if I mess it up I am not...

Hello. My name is Stuart and I live in Houston. I look forward to making some fruit wines. Wish me luck.

Hello everyone. This is my first post here. Hope I am not asking questions that have been ask too many times. I want to try out some fruit wines since my fruit trees are maturing and produce some bumper crops. I have searched the forum and cannot find what I am looking for. How important...
