I've heard of screw tops breaking, risky... Talk to local restaurants, I get free bottles then clean, sanitize and reuse like many others here.

I haven't been able to get on much with my final semester of college in progress, but every time I do I enjoy seeing all these great labels!

Reilly: I think your sg is good for this recipe. Totally up to the person drinking it (you) but I really enjoy this wine a lil weaker than normal, has wonderful flavor! Adding sugar at this point is ok though, just do the whole boiling it down in very little water thing and let it cool to room...

Mine was dark red, must just be the skittles you get in your bag. I did original recipe and it's been done for a while now. It taste bad at first but after it sat for a while, I was happy I did the 5 gal. Either way you will go through some trouble with it so I recommend doin the 5 gal. You'll...

Sg should be at 1. I back sweetened to 1.015. But it's really your call. For sweet wines the average I seem to see is about 1.004-1.012. My fiance likes it really sweet tho. I have a different wine that's at 1.020 that she likes, too sweet for me tho.

Time is your best friend, mine sat for about 6 months now and I had a bottle last night, pretty tasty. When you clear be sure to treat with amylase enzyme first, that will pull the starches out of the wine that is left from the skittles. Otherwise clearing is difficult.

I used 1 can of white grape and didn't mix it with any water. Also, a few days before I boiled my candy to melt it, then froze it, this helps you to remove ALOT of the wax. It freezes up on top of it. I was able to catch mine after the wax froze but before the Candy froze so I pulled almost all...

I made Valentines starburst wine last year and just bottled it like a month ago, its in my to 3 wines made! Very good

Its all your preference, some cover some don't. I cover all my wines. You will have similar results with both so don't worry yourself buddy.

Lol touche!

Lol, I feel like all my hobbies do this. I have to many hobbies!

Yup same recipe as skittle!

Ok, guess I'll have to invest in marbles... Lol

But won't the gas create a wall on to of the wine so the air don't touch it? It don't matter if co2 pushes the gas out, as long as air doesn't come in contact with the wine. Right?

I'm gunna look into that, I don't like searching for something to to my wines off every rack. Seems like a greed idea since I never bulk age longer than 6 months

Was it a beer video? Cuz I know doin that with beer bottles its a good thing. Only problem with wine is that you work so hard to get the co2 out that it would be silly to put it back in right at the end. I see the thought behind it since air spoils wine and co2 don't but the air won't carbonate...

Blender? If this is like a normal blender I would try to avoid using it for wine in the future buddy. If you chop up alot of seeds it can cause bitterness in the wine.

I'm not near my journal right now but I'll double check tonight. I think it was the same as the skittle recipe but with starburst

Update: the starburst wine I made is way better than the skittle wine, I used bags of Valentines day starburst so they were all red and pink flavors, its Sooo good.

Co2 just worries us due to the fact that it could be refermenting in the bottle which would cause small sediment to be in the wine. Maybe its the cork breaking a bit when you put the cork in?.... Or maybe its fruit gunk from what you made it from. Here's a pic of some nasty gunk my raspberry...
