    white grapes

    I started a 1 gal batch. I honestly wanted to see how the fermentation work on a very clear liquid (I guess I could use water too lol). Immediately, I fixed a misconception I had. I thought the yeast, dissolves at the top. Instead it goes to the bottom. Btw, I don't pitch the yeast as...

    should you shake car iy during primary fermentation ?

    Question is because Im doing pineaple with a big cake at the top. You see bubbles going up but the airlock does not move. Then I shake the carboy and airlock moves normal like I expect it to be. Notice with passion fruit and grapes I have not seen cakes at the top. So things go normal.

    its your favorite wine still based on grapes? if not, what it is it?

    In my short experience on this hobbie either doing wines or researching. I came to realize grapes are most popular for wine for several reasons that today we can manipulate/modify (Ph, sugar content, taste, etc) in other fruits. are grapes still your favorite? if not, what is it?
