I've been making a lot of varieties of the concentrates from HomeWinery.com and the majority have come out really nice. However, after three months some are tasting / smelling like alcoholic cough syrup. Specifically, a red raspberry and a plum came out this way. I followed the set up...

Mangos just went on sale and I want to make some wine with them. But first I need to process them. My concern is that I lose some juice when I cut them open to get the seed out and skin off. I was thinking about doing it this way: - freeze mangos whole for 2 hours - remove from freezer...

Would love to but doctor says to limit my sugar intake. I ferment everything dry and don't back sweeten. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

My wife and I decided to give sausage making a try. So we were poking around on YouTube and came across a video by an Irish gentleman demonstrating how to make wine from store bought grape juice. After realizing how much fat goes into making good sausage, I decided wine making was probably a...

I was about to post this exact question since all my carboys were in use and I have four homewinery concentrates in my refrigerator. Then I found a Craigslist ad for 5 gallon carboys for $20 each. So I had to buy five! Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

I have limited space so my carboys are close together. I have banged them into one another once too often and I'm not looking to wrap them before I have an accident. I was thinking bubble wrap. Any other ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

Will do. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

When should I measure and adjust acid? I've read a few posts indicating that this should be done prior to the start of primary fermentation. Yet I've seen recipes that indicate that this should be done after primary fermentation. Which is it? Or does it matter? Specifically, does sugar /...

No matter how much I make, I always wish that I had more space, time, and carboys to make more. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

My plantain and raisin wine is already clear as can be without having to add anything to help it along. It's dark orange like the last picture I posted but clear. Smells musky. I made some banana and raisin wine about 6 months ago and it has a smooth taste and smells like bananas. Some...

Put my plantains & raisin wine in secondary. It ain't the best smelling wine that I've made but it's got a nice color. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

Yeah, I saw the same thing in Terry Garey's book. But it doesn't say why? So I guess that I'll be finding out.

I've been reading this thread for months and am going to jump in. I'm new to wine making but will give it a go. First, I must confess that I've started already. I saw plantains at the local fruit market a few weeks ago for $0.50 per pound and bought a bunch. They took two weeks to ripen...

Maybe I'll do this as part of the March wine of the month club! Thanks.

I just bottled a black raspberry from homewinery.com and am enjoying a bit of the "leftover". Here, here! Cheers, everyone!

Am I really the only one who thought about doing this?

I bought a 1 liter bottle of Adriatic Raspberry Syrup thinking that I would make a wine out of it. Now I'm sitting here wondering how much water to add to make a decent wine. Anyone else done this - or maybe have some advise?

As for bottles, I just put out a note to all my family, friends, and neighbors to save empty wine bottles for me. My neighbors have taken to just dropping their empty bottles on my front porch. It makes for amusing surprise every morning when I leave for work! Sent from my iPhone using Wine...

While waiting for reduless to arrive, I continue to stir my must twice a day. The smell seems to have subsided. I think I'm going to hold off on applying the reduless - for now.
