Really? Care to share that recipe? sounds interesting.

Since my last post here in january 20 Gallons. Haha my friends really like it. 4613 +20= 4633

I have a friend who has planted 750 vines last spring. They are different varieties of muscadine and scuppernong. My friend wants me to be his vintner, he likes my home brew stuff. Found a vineyard in Deleon springs Fla that is open for picking this weekend. We are going for Nobel and Ison...

So it is possible to start with 6.5 gallon fermentation buckets and carboys? I have a friend putting in 750 vines soon. We are in Florida he wants me to make wine for him. I only make country fruit wines for home. This is going to be a major task for me to set up and get started. I',m thinking...

How much "juice" and sugar do you add? We are relatively new to making wine and it seems that flavor sometimes is an issue especially with strawberry.

So it was strawberry season here in sunny florida a month or so ago. My dear and lovely bride went out and picked 43 pounds of fresh berries. We cleaned them and froze them in 5# bags. I started the must at 1.120 with an EC1118 yeast and it fermented down to 1.010 and stalled. We tasted the must...

That is probably pectin haze. I'll assume (we all know how that goes) you didn't use pectin enzyme. You should have added pectin enzyme an hour before you pitch your yeast. Also, why aren't you using your filter machine? I use mine on every batch of wine we make. The polish and clarity it will...

Finished filtering a new batch last night so that's 18 gallons since January. 3317+18=3335

Sorry, haven't been in here in a while. 3275+24=3299

2 new batches should be done next week. 3181 + 10 = 3191

After is sits for a while I'll run it through a mini jet filter w/ #2 filter pads. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064OG4PQ/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

new batch should be done next week. 3176 + 5 = 3181

If you get enough in her I'm sure it will. LOL It's good stuff and just lends itself well to cookouts.

So every year a fishing forum I am on has a bash. It's a way to get together and meet folks in real life. The feller that hosts it has had my skeeter pee before so I offered to make a batch and bring some. I brought better than 6 gallons. It was a big hit, as we know that stuff just goes...

It's been cleared and back sweetened. I'll be drinking it this weekend! :HB

Follow up: It took 9 days to start fermenting, then it went off into beast mode!! That was on 1/19. I measured it last night and it is .990!!

I started mine current batch on 1/10/17 it took nine days to even start fermenting. I got antsy and pitched the yeast twice. It's actually 2 batches, measured the gravity and #1 read .990 and has stopped bubbling. #2 is at .992 and still bubbling once every second or so. Looks like I'll be...

I snap down my lid and add an airlock as soon as I pitch my yeast.
