    Started my first mead!

    Hey Steven, I haven't started yet but I have 15 pounds of orange blossom honey. Based on yours I may need to get 3 more lbs. I aim to make a dry mead and purchased liquid dry mead yeast. I also do not have yeast energizer but may have to get some. I have yeast nutrient though but Im also...

    Started my first mead!

    Hi Stevenfox25, how's the mead coming along? I plan on making 6 gallons of orange blossom mead as well and have never done so. I have 1 gallon of orange blossom honey but based on your calculations I'd need some more. Did you reach 15%? Did you add any tannins? acid blend? oak? Paul

    Ring around the demijohn?

    Hi fabrictodyefor, Thanks for reading my post. Are you sure you don't cover your vat with your special fabrics? Lol You're in a good place if remembering WHY you do things is your concern. & possibly another glass of wine will help. But, I believe at the start of fermentation it's actually...

    Ring around the demijohn?

    Update° After about 6 weeks in a keezer set at 35°F the wine has seen great improvements in clarity. The photos show how much sediment was left in the wine even after racking, super klear & filtering. This sediment was stuck to the sides & bottom of the demijohns and the wine was racked off...

    Ring around the demijohn?

    What happens when a wine doesn't complete fermentation? Will it remain cloudy and/or spoil? or will it be a sweet wine? I saw an article on ec Kraus that stated that it can cause a wine to be cloudy, do you think that is possible in my case? It finished at 1.0, perhaps I should've added some...

    Ring around the demijohn?

    Hi JohnT, I should have topped it up in the beginning for sure. I didnt start with 90 ppm but raised it to these levels to try & get improvements. In addition there is no yellow ring on top any more and the wine is clearer then before but, not close where id like it to be. Ive never seen so...

    Ive been using star san for my equipment & it is the greatest. How long does it stay good for once mixed?

    Ring around the demijohn?

    As you can see in the glass it looks pretty clear. But a week later there was more sediment dropping. I also bottled 1bottle of the runoff from the filter & placed it in my wine fridge. In a few days there was definitely sediment in the bottle. Isnt it very odd to have this much sediment?

    I keep seeing how cloudy it is. Especially when i hold a flashlight to it. I did, however recieve a Keezer from a friend of mine who moved to california. So now im trying cold storage & it appears to be doing a lot. Theres a ton of purple sediment falling & even some of it floating around the...

    Ring around the demijohn?

    After super klear i thought i was seeing good results. A bunch of white looking sediment has fallen but seemed to keep coming after i racked it off. I added pectin enzyme & again more sedimen . I filtered once w coarse pads & once with #2 polishing pads with mini jet. I thought it was getting...

    Update. Its been 6 months with this batch of zin/barbera & its been super cloudy. 10 days ago, after racking i added potassium sorbate/kmeta, kielosol & chitosan. Im finally starting to see some improvements. Theres a lot of sediment still falling to the bottom.
