I have kept 2 batches like that, but I pasteurized them, and then added more frozen juice to back sweeten. Kept them in a steel locker in the basement, then chilled as needed, but the basement in Iowa stays around 68 or so all summer. I sure wouldn't want to do it though if you were going to...

I have used both Lavlin D47, and EC1118. The D47 was with confectioners sugar, and was disappointed in the flavor, so I used Sweet Merlot as a blend that turned out so so, or ok. (waste not...) and 3 versions with EC1118. Both had very small heads, and went quite dry(.996-.994) My latest batch...

It has been some time since you posted this, how did it turn out with the DME? What kind of DME did you use? How did it affect the flavor? Harry:fsh

Well after all the imput, it seems the fermentation stopped, and I just bottled the applewein, and it is good tasting, but a little too sweet. I'll not add so much concentrate in the next batch. Thanks all, for the help.

Its a 5 gallon paint mixer. The steel shank is galvinized, but since it is only in contact with the wine/beer for under 1-2 minutes, it sure won't leach anything. IT DOES churn the mix, so if you degass with it, play around slowly until you get a handle on it, or you'll foam out the top of the...

Sorry, I meant 5 camden tabs, and 1 tablespoon of sorbate:u. That is why I was confused by the fermentation restarting. I had sweetened back up to 1.004 from OG .994. after a week now it is back down to 1.002. I also found that it has again stabilized. Just tasted it and I may have added to much...

Slow up here you guys, don't Eeveryone answer at once... maybe a hint?

I have a 5 gallon batch, and I allowed mine to ferment to .994, Degassed, then added 5 camden tabs and 1 tablespoon of KMet to keep the fermentation from restarting and waited 6 days and backsweeten up to 1.004, and waited overnight to see if it would start to referment, and it has restarted...

Bottle return States If you live in a state that has a bottle return law, You can go to a local store that takes in bottle returns, and buy back from them for the deposit cost. I get Wine bottles and Beer bottles here in Iowa that way, plus they let me pick out my bottles.:ib Harry
