Thanks guys. I'll transfer this evening.

Thanks for the reply. This is a white wine when complete. At least it's a yellow color. I've drank tomato wine before but never made it. Would it hurt to allow it to stay in primary for seven days? Seems once fermentation stops there's nothing to protect the wine in the bucket anymore.

Carlisle PA huh? You're a few hours from me. Have you racked the dandelion? My understanding is to wait til it falls clear. Seems like it takes a while to get where yours is. By the looks of it I haven't done anything wrong, my expectations were just a little high. Thanks for the pictures.

The onion isn't ready yet so I've been holding off on tasting it. I figure worse case I made a cooking wine. I'm expecting it to have some of the sweeter tastes of baked onions. We'll see. As for freezing the dandelions, I don't know I have a large yard and the church beside me does also so I...

70-72 degrees. I'm just wondering what the statement, fall clear before racking means. The wording in the recipe says, Rack and bottle when wine clears and again when no more lees form for 60 days. So I am to wait for the wine to literally be clear before racking? If that's the case it might...

I'm confused because he talks about it instantly falling clear after several weeks then also about additional rankings to clear it. Here's his comments: Dandelion must is a milky yellow color. The milkiness comes from the pigments, pollen and other extracts of the flowers and the dense...

I have a batch of dandelion wine I've started using one of Jack Keller's recipies that calls for the first racking after it clears. When reading his website he says dandelion wine will fall clear in several weeks and when it does it will happen quickly. I've been under secondary since 4/29 and...
