    Super yeast stalled

    I tried liqueur quick super yeast and it stalled at day 5. I was going to use it to make apple pie moonshine. I was going to use apple juice concentrate because the ABV would be 20%. http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/f2/apple-pie-moonshine-2-better-one-41136/ It was just water (3 gal) and...

    Vacuume question

    So I am going to degas with a break bleeder, but I have read that you should use under 20 inches of mercury or the alcohol will boil out. Then I read 29" or gas will not be released. Could someone please clear up the confusion and how long to keep it on to degas.

    Is my wine going bad?

    I am new to wine making, and started my first batch two days ago. It is a white grape cherry made from welches juice. I followed the recipe exactly. It told me not to put the campden tab in until the first racking. I assumed that since it was made from bottled juice instead of fresh it would be...
