    should I??

    I knew I had reached that point a while ago when one of my kids said to another "Dad has lost his filter in the last couple years."

    Look What You All Made Me Do!

    7th grade math problem: Shaun made 1680 bottles of wine and has 750 bottles left in storage. Given 2 years and three months time, how many bottles has Shaun drunk per month? Just kidding, Shaun, as I know most of us give away as many, or more, bottles than we consume ourselves and I assume...

    What kind of sugar

    My suspicion is that he told you that to increase his revenue not to help you make good wine.

    I Just Cant Resist!

    Can't wait to do my first Welch's wine just to see what all the fuss is about. I've had 2 concord grape wines from wineries in Door County, WI recently and they were both good. Not wines that I would drink often but a nice change of pace.

    Rack before <1 SG?

    I'm still a novice but if you stop it before it ferments to dry I would think you would have a low abv wine depending on what sg you started at. Racking and clearing it won't stop the fermentation as you seem to suggest in your first post. Good luck with whatever you try.

    Why do you make wine?

    Boatboy, I agree. I know I don't have a drinking problem because I haven't spilled any or drooled down my chin in a long time.

    Why do you make wine?

    Made my first wine because we had a tremendous wild blackberry crop and we were looking to make something other than pies and jam so we did brandy and homemade wine. I have 4 different fruit wines totaling 21 gal fermenting right now. I like wine but mostly doing it as a hobby/science project...

    It blowed up!!!!!

    I'm quite new to wine making with my 6th wine almost ready to bottle so I'm still in the "try various techniques to see what I like" stage. For my first few wines I covered my primary with a clean cloth and let it ferment but I did a 3 gal batch of banana in which I snapped the lid tight and...

    Inherited Grandfathers Wine Equipment.

    Aidan, my condolences on your grandfather's passing. I shared a different hobby with my grandfather but I still have many fond memories of him. After you've made your first batch, drink a toast or two to him and then let us know how it turned out. At some point, it would be great if you...

    Natural Blackberry Wine

    salcoco, I wish I had added pectic enzyme as you suggest. It was my first attempt at homemade wine and I just did what the recipe prescribed. I do have a little pectic haze in my bottled wine as well as some sediment. The flavor is superb and I don't mind a little fiber in my wine so it's no...
