Thxs FP Thank you F.P- This formula is for 3gl batch? If so, to make a 6gl batch just multiply the amounts by 6?

Sweetening wine Thank you for the quick reply Julie, How long will it take for the stabilization? What you mean by a little drier? Lower SG? which brings another observation, my Hydrometer (Triplescale) doesn't read much lower than 1.00- is that normal? Again- thank you and everyone for...

Sweetening a Dry batch Hi Julie, Can you use left over natural juice to sweet up the batch? Or it's better to use the sugar? I'm on my 7week with Pinneaplbe, natural fruit/juice, wine on a 6gl. My SG reading still below the 1.000, what SG should we get after adding the sugar/juice and in...

Yeast action-Secondary Hi Joe, Did not know about the high-hose trick to build up some oxygen- I moved to 2nd rack yesterday. How I make sure the yeast still doing his job? By the way, must looks good, smells good and it's clearing well. A little high on alcohol now. Gracias like...

Thank you Joe, I'll measure everything again tonight, SG was 1.030. Rule of thomb is to transfer to 2nd carboy when SG=1.020-1.030 correct? I snaped the lid down and added an airlock, so I'll let it ferment in the primary (bucket) until SG reach 1.010, then transfer to 2nd carboy. Must...

Thank you Joe, So, you are saying that '2' pkg of yeast won't hurt the fermentation? When should it start then? My batch is on its 5th day now. thank you, Mani-VA

Thank you Joe, Overkilled by doubling the yeast amount- any way around that one? Mani-VA

I put my bash before I saw your recipe, thank you. I'll use next time. It's possible for the fermentation to ocur in 2-3 days? I mistakenly added 2pkg of Red Star yeast-yeah, I'm a newbie! THank you. mani-VA

Hi MauiJoe, I'm too using the juice, extracted from the pinneaple and canned juice as well, but not sure about the measurement for the recipe. Can you help me with that? Using a 6Gl bottle. Thank you, Mani-VA

Hi Robie, I'm a newbie today, trying to get my first batch of Pinneaple in. Q: I found a recipe here using the fruit instead of the juice, which i already have, for the 6gl bottle. Do you know by any chance what is the juice quantity for the 6gl batch? Thank you, mani-VA
