    Critical look at each other's wine

    Awesome Wine Loved this post about your wine from the vine and NOT from a kit. Don't get me wrong, I do Kits, but I, 90% of the time, do fresh fruit and grapes. I am waiting patiently to see how the Copper addition affects the wine. I love your storage boxes and I'm considering making a...

    Sweetening my Wine

    Sweetening Sugar Putting sugar on any kind of flame will burn or taint it. Thus, I have chosen not to subject my sugar to direct flame thru a hot pot with no water inside. What I have chosen to do, is boil the water(pure water not tap) right up to( but not boiling) the range of 209-211 degrees...

    Dissolving Sugar Hi FloandGary, I boil my water to 204-212 degrees. I add the sugar while it boils. I then add my sugar water to the primary and pour over fruit (if I use fruit) or juice. I let the mixture cool, and then add my chemicals as per my recipes. I only add the yeast after the water...

    Boiling and Sugar I started a 5 gallon Elderberry Must yesterday and threw the yeast (24 hours later) this morning. Every thing has been done according to my routine, except, that I brought my Pure Water to a boil (204-212 F) and then added my sugar as it boiled. The water cleared quickly...

    Glycerin Thanks for the reply. Has anyone tried glycerin to sweeten? How about Corn Sugar vs Cane Sugar. I guess I'm looking for the "Holy Grail" of sweeteners to back sweeten, when in reality, I know it is a matter of personal taste?

    Adding Sugar OK, I'd like some feedback on adding sugar. There are three ways that come to mind , and I'm wondering which way has been most successful for others. One, add sugar as the water boils. Two, let the water boil first and then add the sugar. Three, add straight sugar to the...

    More Wine I hope some day you'll be able to experience the joy of taking fresh grapes and or fresh fruit and going from Vine to Wine. I have tried Dragon Blood one time. Dangerous Dave has a good recipe there. I love to blend "must" and try new techniques with my wine making. Right now I'm...
