So once again I have my pineapple wine fermenting , but this time i thought i'd go high tech,and read my winemaking made easy, book, It says to rack it in a few days , so I notice now 8 days later the bubbles stopped ( i tried the fermentation lock this time ) I usually just put it in a sealed pail and forget it for a month or longer . Anyway the bubbles quit bubbling ,and so the book says pour,well ,siphon this all into a carboy ( and make a huge sticky mess ) and put the fermentation lock on ther carboy. Well it quit bubling ,so will it start again?? I doubt it , but don't know for sure .. I tried this one other time with strawberrys I think it was ,and made a mess, so now I wait till its done ,take a 2 quart
( 2 lt) open jug, and scoop up the pineaples out of the pail and pour it into the nylon stocking that's held inside the other smaller pail i have resting on the edge of the bigger fermenting pail, I just let it lean against my legs , then as the smaller container ( 12 ltrs) fills up I set it in the sink and squeeze the juice out ,then pour it into 2 liter pop bottles ( using a funnel )
So I'm wondering what would the benifits be of rackinbg it into the carboy?? This stuff tastes like pinacolda when done in a couple of months .. I could never get that siphon thing to work properly , i got juice running down my body, across the floor and even got some in the bottles .lol recipe used ,pasted below..
