UH , it's a three gallon batch. I racked it off of the primary and had about a half gallon left over. That is in a pet bottle.

the 6 cups of sugar yielded only SG of 1.040. I added sugar until it came up to 1.065. This will give me about 9.5%, ABV if I can get it down to a SG of .992. Wound up with 11 cups of sugar total.

BleedAggie, as per your request: Peach or apricot Wine Get the ripest fruit you can and wash it well. It should be soft and fragrant. No need to peel the fruit but remove any bruises and the pits. You can also use frozen fruit. Just put them frozen in the bag. 3 gallons fresh water 6 cups sugar...

I brought home 10 pounds of local peaches. I can get lots more, I just didn't want to be a hog about it. I need about another 5 pounds to make my 3 gallon batch. "The Joy of Winemaking" has a nice recipe. I'll post the recipe later. now I got peaches to tend to.

Great info. I have "The Joy of Winemaking" and "Winemaking" by J. Andersen. Thanks for your help.

Do you have a good recipe? How much sugar ?. What additives?

I have 10 pounds of fresh peaches. I would like to make a 3 gallon batch of peach wine(melamed). I can get more peaches. how much would you recommend for a 3 gallon batch? I haven't found many peach recipes on here. My thoughts are to make a light peach wine and call it "California Cowboy...

Just be certain that each jar has not lost the vacuum seal. Ball/Mason lids have a slight bow and they should be sealed under heat and suck the lid down when you put them up. I'd sure give it a try.

I had a white cranberry that did the same. It took several weeks before it calmed down. It did make a VERY fine wine , just took a little more time. I would give it some more time. Patience is a hard thing to learn.

You should read "The Keto Zone Diet" by Dr. Don Colbert.. On page 168 it states, "It is just best to cut out all alcohol. It will mess with your daily carb intake and bump you out of the Keto zone. It also gives you brain fog, food cravings and reduces your ability to resist cravings. For now...

I always use a nylon bag for my fruit . That way you can lift the bag and give it a squeeze , then place it back and push it down into the must.

Patience is a virtue is certainly true in winemaking. It is one of the hardest lessons. I'm still learning that lesson.

Just a waiting game now , I suppose. The airlock shows no action and the ABV is .996. I'll just wait . I can always throw it out later, rather than sooner. My first attempt at mead.

What is the proper PH for cyser? And what do you mean "oops"?

I started this in hopes of a gentle type of mead. May 12th, 2018- This is a one-gallon batch of apple mead. I started with one gallon of fresh, not from concentrate, apple juice, two pounds of clover honey and two small packets of Chaucer’s brewing spices (cinnamon, orange peel, and nutmeg)...

Seems a little light to me. This is the recipe that I use. Welch's Grape Juice Wine 3 This is an easy recipe that turns out well, at about 14% alcohol and is full bodied. Welch’s bottled grape juice. Added into a one-gallon jug: 96 oz of Welch’s concord grape juice. Frozen canned is fine...

Calcium carbonate. If you have none you can crush a tums tablet to change the ph. Be prepared for a lot of foaming . Just thought I'd toss that out there. Very handy note for wines that are too acidic, like dragon's blood.

First off let me say that sanitizing with a good sanitizer has been sufficient or me in the past. My father used hot tap water and Dawn soap , then rinsed very well. He apparently never had any problems, bottled everything up in a whiskey bottle. Whatever he could find. He once gave me a bottle...
