I am in the process of making my first batch of blackberry wine. The recipe i used was for 1 gallon and i am making 5 gallon so i did 5x. The recipe calls for adding water and sugar initially, then again after 7 days, then again after 10 days. I used 21 pounds of fruit for my 5 gallons. Today...

i normally make my muscadine wine using natural yeasts in the grapes. I had always made it with fresh grapes off the vines. I had a good bit leftover from last year so i froze them. I recently decides to start a few more batches using my same natural yeast recipe. Got to thinking about it and...

This is my 1st attempt at wine making. I started these two batches of muscadine wine in Sept 2012. I am very pleased how they both turned out. The first batch was made with "Southland" purple muscadines and the second batch was made with bronze "Darlene" muscadines. Each batch made me exactly 8...
