    Choke Cherry Wine

    I have made chokecherry wine using the recipe that Wade posted. I, too am familiar with the very nice lady he is referring to. I'm from northern Wisconsin and chokecherries are plentiful usually. I have found that the wild chokecherries are rather harsh tasting. If we get lots of rain they...

    Seedless Grapes

    Seedless Grapes

    I did add K-meta when I added the other ingredients before I left. I added more (1/4 tsp) when it was done fermemting. I added sorbate after filtering and it is now bulk aging in the carboy!

    Seedless Grapes

    I made 6 gallons of wine form the red seedless grapes adding nothing but the usual> After I had added everything but the yeast, I got called away for a few days. When I came back, it was fermenting on its own. So I didn't add any yeast and just let it ferment to 0.090! I cleared it with...

    Forum merger WELCOME

    Forum move I have visited this forum previously but was never an active participant. It will take a little getting used to as the entire format is a little different. Not too sure I like it as you can't teach an old dog new tricks!! But I guess all of my "old" friends are here and will look...

    Vacuum pump

    Thanks Wade. That is the info I was looking for. The filter housing is now out of stock so I will have to wait to see when they get more. I don't have a vacuum pump yet but I will purchase one from the site you posted previously. (Ebay)

    Wild Plum Wine

    I think I'll use a steam juicer this year if there enough plums. The plums I use are growing wild in my neighbor's abandoned farm field. Last year was a good year and I got the plums before the bears did. I have to race the black bear for plums and choke cherries!

    what temperature for my wine

    Hi Bert No, I didn't add an F-pack to it. That year the choke cherries had a pretty strong flavor as it was a dry season. The next year (2010) there wasn't a choke cherry to be found! Last year the trees were loaded and the berries were very sweet. I have found that mixing the juice with apple...

    what temperature for my wine

    Poorboy, What area are you in and what kind of chokecherries are you using? I know Bert has a different chokecherry than I have in Northern Wisconsin. If I make straight choke cherry wine, it is quite strong. I usually have to mix it with something else. I have found using choke cherry and apple...

    Wild Plum Wine

    Wade, I concentrated it per your instructions. Te plum smart came in 1 1/2 qt containers so I simmered it to 3 pts and added it! I have 7 gallons of nice dark red plum wine!

    Wild Plum Wine

    No the weather didn't turn colder. It is hovering around 32*. But we just had 18" of wet heavy snow! I have been snowblowing and plowing all day long! predicted to be 44 tomorrow. That will help (I hope)! I haven't uploaded any pics on this new forum format.

    Wild Plum Wine

    I added plum smart concentrate to the wild plum wine yesterday (Wednesday). It sure did darken it and gave it a better wine look! I haven' tasted it but I think I will wait a few days and then taste it. I have 1 gallon in a small refrigerator set at 45* to see if it will hasten the clearing!
