I have two wine grapes and one table grape (himrod). The two wine grapes are acid, and the himrod is very sweet. Is it possible to mix some himrod in with the two others for balance? If yes, what to do with himrod while I wait for the two later varieties to get ripe enough? Can I keep it in the...

Is there anyone here who can see on a vine what kind of grape it carries. I have two photos uploaded. I live in B.C. Canada, so maybe that's why it doesn't taste super sweet. When the grapes are ripe, they become a lighter greenish yellowish. There are some seeds inside. I don't even know if it...

I'm still struggling with this, so please have a look at my picture. I have no clue what these grapes are, but they taste sweet- not super sweet. The skin is a little bit tart. We have had heaps of sun this summer, but the last few nights have gone down to 5 degrees celsius. The weatherman...

Hi! I thought I would try making wine without adding sugar (except to make the yeast solution) and see what happened. After 6 days in the bucket with yeast, I strained the juice out, and the SG was 1.000. Then I put it in demi johns, but now, I don't see any activity. There was very little...

If I did this right, there is supposed to be an attachment here now. If anyone can find it, please check, and tell me if you know what I should do with this vine. I know it's done the wrong way, but am not sure how much to cut off now. It has to go to the right only, since there is another one...

I just saw a video about a place in France where they make wine. They said the yeast is in the skin. Why do we still need to add yeast? Another question I have is: Why are table grapes not considered good for wine making?

Hello. Can anyone tell me if my wine should be put into bottles when I don't see any bubbles in the airlock? The wine looks cloudy still. It's my first try, and I have had it sitting there for a little more than a month.

I have a new question: Reading here about topping off you carboyd, is it essential that it is full. I am trying out wine making with grapes from only one vine, which does not fill up the carboy by far. So, must I fill it up with something else? It is now only a quarter full. And, filling it up...

Hello, I am glad to find this forum, thanks! I just made some must,for the first time in my life, of some green grapes. The problem is, I forgot to dissolve the sugar in boiling water, so I added it straight into the must, which then sat for 6 days and was strained and transferred to a demi...
