Thanks! How about DAP? Can't find much info on that one, I guess that'll be fine as well?

Soo.. I bought a full set of additives and stuff to make some new batches for the upcoming 2 years. But, I wasn't at home when it got delivered on Thursday. It's been sitting for 3 days and some hours on the heater in the hall here, with a temperature of about 35 degrees celcius. All my acids...

I'm no expert on this part, but couldn't it work to add a higher amount of yeast? If you add enough, you don't need them to go budding right? Sorbate only stops them from budding, not fermenting.

That's what I thought, because malic acid is harsh tasting as well. But what about topping up? I can't just top it up with a wine containing malic acid right? For the first top up I'll have some spare wine seperated, which is also the one that needs most topping. Next top ups are usually not...

I'm starting my second blackberry wine. The first one is a blackberry/blueberry which is bulk aging, tastes a little bit too hot now but might turn great. Now I'm doing a pure blackberry after I got 3kg's of wild blueberries from a friend. My recipe for 5L: 3kg fresh blueberries (frozen then...

Got it under an airlock now. Just had enough to fill 5L, but with a lot of gross lees still. Should not have it roaming free in the primary, it's a mess to get it off. I had a cheesecloth, but couldn't fit 3,25kg raspberries in it. Going to make quite some loss the next time I'll have to siphon...

Yeah it's supposed to be going on for 6 months and then at least another 6 or12 in the bottle. Temperature is fluctuating. I live in a student house and have it all in my room. And because the heating turns on and off in cycles, so does the temperature in my room. It can be a bit above room...

Heya! Started brewing wine for the first time. Have brewn beer last time on school, which took my interest in brewing. I'm making a raspberry wine of which I made my own recipe, after comparing lots of recipes. I've got a 5L demijohn, so I made a recipe for 6L. I used 3,25kg frozen...
