Hi guys how long does dragons blood keep for? I have noticed mine takes a big difference since last week not as fruity with a bit of a taste to it, I left them in the garden could it have been the sunlight?

Defo will add sugar and try first, I added 6 pineapple for 6 gallon. Thanks

Thank you! Am so new to this I wasn’t sure if adding now would mean it wouldn’t keep lol! I should have done it in the secondary but you learn every day ☺️

Hi there I have made pineapple wine, not overly pineapple tasting, it’s done fermenting, cal I back sweeten with day some more pineapple boiled with sugar? Or put more pineapple in now and sugar separate? Thanks

Thank you very much

Hi there am doing dragons blood well I ruined my first, not to worry. What is the 20 cups of sugar converted to kg? Also is there a rule of thumb for how much sugar to add to raise the ABV? Thanks

Thank you!

Thanks... It was about 2 days before adding the sugar, I think my intention was to get the yeast going, am new to this. And the yeast was the Gervin one as that’s all I could get for the fruit wine

Hi there my dragons blood has stopped fermenting, at 1020, added more sugar and yeast nutrient to bring it to 1030 but nothing is happening, I started at1080, and am in the secondary now. Any ideas? Ave heated it and tried that

Any advise on filtering? Wondering wether to get one for the fine sediment, am aware of cold crashing ☺️

It was a kit, I actually can’t remember the step by step but I followed it I think 24 hrs with stabiliser and 2 days for finings, then I added sugar and left for nearly 2 days with air lock, and it was approx 18 litres. I have opened a bottle and no gas came out like that, and I have it all sat...

I don’t really know tbh this is my first hopefully successful batch, am totally new to this it was a kit am using so it’s step by step and I completed them all before adding the sugar, I had to stabilise then add finings

Haha won’t I just I hope not I don’t all the right things to try and stop it but it’s outside bottled just in case haha thanks

Yes your right, my order came today! :) I didn’t realise I need to keep in fridge is that even if it’s not opened?

Hi looking for help calculating my ABV I started at 1088 and went to 990 way to dry so I added more sugar after stabilising and clearing and brought it back to 1000 what is my ABV? Also when I bottled it was really really clear, and there was quite a bit of splashing into the bottles and some...

Ok good to hear, I will keep my eye on things and see how I go, thanks!

Hi there started my dragons blood 40 hrs ago and nothing is happening, I used the yeast Gervin GV11 as that’s what I was recommended when I couldn’t get the 118 one. Also I didn’t have yeast energizer don’t seem to be able to get that in uk. What do I do now :po

Well tbh I did, cause it was my first post and I wasn’t even sure how to post and I was looking to see if anyone would reply to post my question, but that’s between me and them and has been resolved. My problem was... I had an initial SG of 1.042 which was too low for me and the wine with...

Thanks for all that info I appreciate it, I am learning every day ☺️
