Also, the PH is just under 3.6

Yes, it was quite strong before I added any sweetener when we tasted it yesterday. I added the k-meta and racked it back to my carboy and gallon jugs while I wait for the corks and sorbate to arrive. Will add the sorbate and back sweeten and then bottle. The corks info said I should NOT soak...

Haha... probably! I didn't know how to read that thing at first! That sounds more like it.

Ok, this is my calculations. I did add sugar initially and took the SG reading right after. It is possibly off, since I am new at this, but should give me a round about ABV. What do you think Scooter68?

Ok, do I calculate from the SG reading prior to fermentation or when I racked after fermentation was over? This calculation is once fermentation was over....

Sorbate and sulfites? I have been adding this at every racking. Is there something else I need for bottling?

I believe that is a .99.....?

In the fridge or no?

Great, thanks! When filling, do I fill all the way to the top, and once I take it out, that will be the amount of space left for the cork?

So, I got the #8 corks from widgetco, as recommended. It said those were for wines that would be consumed in 2-3 years. #9's were for longer shelf time, so I decided on #8. Now my question is...once I bottle, do I refrigerate them, stand them up or lay them on their sides???

Is this what I need? Let me know which one might be best, please.

Great! Thank you!

I had juice with pulp in it, but after initial fermentation, I strained it all out when I racked. So no berries left in the wine.

Yes, the dry, semi-sweet or dessert was what I wondered about. How do I know what it is considered? Not sure how to figure ABV, either...lol. I'm leaning toward a table or dessert wine because I like it sweeter. Will keep researching! I'm going to go with my title on here: "Sunshine Wine". Just...

So, I have a question...lol. I have blackberry wine that I am getting ready to backsweeten and then bottle. How do I know what to call it? I want to make my labels and wondered if I just call it Blackberry Wine or if it is considered something in particular depending on the ABV or sweetness...

Just ordered the corks! Thanks!

Thank you! Happy new year!

Oh, I used googone on the labels that didn't come off easily. The dishwasher was just to clean them. I will use starsan to sanitize them unless that's not recommended. That's what I have used to clean everything when racking.

Uuuggggg...looking on Amazon for corks.... So many to choose from... Some are cheaper than others... I know you get what you pay for, but what's a good choice???
