    Anyone ever try Welch's Pourable concentrate?

    I came across Welch's Strawberry Raspberry pourable concentrate a while back and thought it might be worth picking up and trying to ferment. Long story short, I never used it and I'm curious about whether or not anyone has ever tried anything like that. I have used frozen concentrates like White...

    peach wine starts fermenting again spontaneously

    Ok... I started a peach-banana wine in late July or early August of last year. I basically used the recipe from Jack Keller's site. I haven't been very happy with the way it has gone. The color isn't quite what I expected and its still pretty sweet even though there is no indication from the...

    Topping up with juice

    Hi All, I started a cranberry wine 2 months ago and I am about to rack it for the first time. It's in a 5 gallon carboy and once I pull it off the sediment I am going to lose almost a gallon of my volume. I am going to top it up and I normally use a sugar-water solution, but I don't want...

    We only go up there if we happen to be in that neck of the woods with a big ice chest. Then we fill the car up to make it as "worth it" as possible.

    Hi - I'm stashu

    Hello, My name is Stan. You can call me Stan, stash (stosh), or you can call me 'hey you'. Whatever you call me, it will be nicer than what my wife calls me. I live in Arkansas where its really too hot to grow most grapes. I have access to some grapes (concord, muscadine, scuppernong) and...

    cold racking

    i have noticed that i have a lot of sediment (i assume its sediment) in my wine bottles when i chill my wine. it may be partially tartic acid crystals too. anyway, i was wondering if it would hurt the wine if i chilled it before racking to allow that sediment to fall from the cold. if the wine...

    Can I Top Up With Juice?

    Is there anything wrong with topping up using juice? For example, right now I have a 1 gallon batch of Welch's Concorde grape from concentrate going. When I rack it, can I top up with some Welch's Grape I just made up or have in my fridge? I have heard of using water, water & honey, wine...
