Hey Turock, I read the post about bagging ,or rather pantyhosing it etc. but am wondering with the fruit all in a bunch pressed together wont the middle of the bag be less exposed to the yeast . I was thinking of going to the wine suply place to see if they had big screen bags , but havnt yet. I thought a bag thats kinda lining the container would be better than having all the fruit pressed together ..
Oh, yeah my strawberry wine I started back on the 3rd is still in the same airtight containers ( 2 containers 4 gall each) I'm a little worried about the mention of seeds , I dont intend to do anything with what I have here for a few weeks yet. Mostly because of the mess it takes to stretch a nylon stocking over the container and pour everything through it . Besides I used super yeast 20% its called .. so the stuff probably wont taste as good as all you guys'es that your making .. I should have taken the advise here when buying the yeast instead of getting stupid thinking of alchol % . I'll send another note once I finish bottling it, in a few weeks . ( I just go straight from the fermenter to the bottles and that's it..time to drink it). after it gets strained through the nylonstocking ,I put a reuseable coffee filter in a funel and pour it through that into 2 liter pop bottles then cap it . I check for pressure building in the bottles now and again.
