    Many different opinions

    You can catch fish with horse tail hair, tied to a cane pole and a bone hook too. And sometimes it's fun to give it a try. But some where along the line some said what if i tie a feather to it, or make it sparkle, or maybe a bug. Then a way to reel in the line, and you know the rest. I believe...

    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    I don't see any issue with random amount of mixed fruit until you discover you really like or do not like the ratio. Or think it might be better with another but cant recall if it had more "this" than "that" or the other way around. If i was short the fruit i knew i needed to make a proven...

    My first Strawberry Wine w/a question....

    I totally agree. In the beginning I dreamed up a citrus mead that i developed by reading listening and sheer full speed ahead. It was awful. I read about off flavors fading and the one purpose of bulk aging being ability to make adjustments. Ehhh what ever tasted bad even after adding things...

    My first Strawberry Wine w/a question....

    All of the people i know that think they failed at wine making, simply judged success when the bubbles stopped. So yea yuck,, if they took the time to read just a little and waited a while they might still be making and teaching me instead of the other way around.

    My first Strawberry Wine w/a question....

    With enough glass wear you wont need the filter as much. You will be busy enough to let the crud to fall naturally. I think i would wait till you are satisfied with the taste and ready to bottle to filter. Filter cost and possibility of contamination from yet another thing to clean need to be...

    Rhubarb Trouble Shoot

    Says added water. How much? Next time try thawing rhubarb in a large bowl or tub. You dont need to add sugar, the juice falls out of thawing rhubarb like nothing else scoop the rough out with a colander and press by hand then toss. Rhubarb accentuates the fruit its paired with. Dont be...

    My first Strawberry Wine w/a question....

    I use gravity. I admit i understand what is meant by using a filter to polish. That is a gorgeous color, i would hate to stain it with a dark red. But to stay true to making wine that tastes good i wont advise for or against topping with wine I always shoot for more than my car boy will hold...

    My first Strawberry Wine w/a question....

    Adding juice will cloud it again. The filter looks to work amazing. But i think i would wait till additions were done. Head space should be addressed. I would go to smaller carboy and an appropriate vessel for any that doesnt fit

    Rhubarb Trouble Shoot

    I waited to see what more experienced folks might say. But perhaps the total acidity is having some affect on the yeast. Did you use straight juice or dilute with water.

    My wine went pink!

    Perhaps a can of grape juice concentrate. 100%grape read labels.
