    Sparkling Skeeter Pee

    Sounds like a good idea and I hear you on the divorce juice. Beer pong is also another way to turn it into divorce juice. I'm thinking of making a batch shortly and combing it with lemonade pop. Should give it some fizz and at the sametime decrease the alcohol level. I might even try some...

    re-using db mesh bag of fruit

    Yeah I'm only on day 3 as of today. I guess if its only pulp left there isn't much point. Thanks Tom

    re-using db mesh bag of fruit

    I was wondering if anyone has used the bag of fruit right away in the next batch of dragons blood or if it should just be discarded and new frozen berries used instead. Adam

    Oh I know. It took awhile but the transformation happened within 24 hours once it started.

    clearing issue

    Thanks for the help guys. I think the pectic enzyme worked. Cleared yesterday and stole a glass today and it is tasting awesome. I just put on a malbec kit yesterday and will use the yeast slurry to make the next batch.

    Haha I feel like a dumbass. Was thinking the must was the juice concentrate, but figured I'd ask

    clearing issue

    So I got the pectic enzyme and it calls for 1/2 tsp per gallon of must. I'm past the fermenting stage and dealing with 23 litres approx. So do I add a tsp or 2 or do I match this up with the total liquid in the carboy?

    Never mind, I just looked up the enzyme. Is that something that can be added now or is it better in the beginning? Thanks again for the help

    clearing issue

    That was pretty good that it cleared like that. Hopefully it does the same for me. Before I mixed the sugar in last night it smelled strong. Not sure if thats good or bad. As per normal with this hobby, only time will tell. What is pectic enzyme? I haven't noticed it at any of the stores...

    clearing issue

    I have it placed in the stairway going to my basement so there is never much light. This has been going jus shy of 2 months and started to think of discarding it. Ill just leave it where it is and start my next batch shortly. If that batch doesn't turn out ill drink it with sprite or 7-up. Has...

    clearing issue

    Ok still not cleared. S.g. Is .998. I'm going to carry on and add the 6 cups of sugar and wait the 2 weeks like it says to do. Ill just run it through a filter to clear it up hopefully. Worse thing it tastes bad and I try over again from scratch

    clearing issue

    So I added a 2 part clearing agent a couple days ago and will keep an eye on it over the next week. Right now it's placed in my basement stairwell where the temp is constant and no sunlight. If it doesn't clear up ill continue with the next step and filter before bottling

    clearing issue

    Wade E, it took two years for it to clear to bottle? Damn I hope thats not the case as it will be thrown out before then. So it has been another week without using a heat belt and no difference. MY other 2 belts are in use for another little while, but the temperature is getting warmer in the...

    clearing issue

    Yeah The wine was degassed. stirred until no bubbles and then used to bottle sealing pump to pull a slight vacuum and no gas being released. Airlock is attached and that part looks good too. This is the clearing agent I used. http://www.winemakeri.com/Isinglass_Finings_p/13440.htm I am in...

    clearing issue

    Ok I'll remove the belt again. I thought I seen other people having this problem and it looked like they were told the temp was too low. And I didn't use any pectic enzyme. I followed directions off the skeeter pee website and watched the youtube video. Hopefully dropping the temp will work...

    clearing issue

    Hey guys just wondering what to try or do with my skeeter pee. It's been clearing for 3 weeks now and the past 2 with a heat belt on just to try and maintain a constant temperature. It is still a cloudy with a small amount of sediment. The only thing I'm wondering that could be the issue is...
