I havent checked it in a few years but im almost positive that i set it at 3.8 or there abouts. But i do check that when making my wines so i dont think it should be an issue but will take the advice and check it.

Hey arne, hows life treating ya

So after a little digging, I was incorrect on who the recipe came from. And Wade was actually the one I was talking with about the chockecherry. Here is the link to that thread where I made it. http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8775

Hey runningwolf if I remember correctly you are the one that made chokecherry wine. If I am correct I based my try at it off if your recipe. Thanks for the info but I have opened one bottle a year each year since I bottled it and it still is so bitter you cant drink it even at a SG reading of...

Hello new and old forum members. Some may remember me other will not know me at all. Either way hello again to all. This post is not about a specific wine made but about the many that have been made through the last year or so since my last visit. The list 1. My number one wine of all my...

sweet, I have learned that you don't have to destem them or pick out every little bad berry. I just cook them down to juice and freeze the juice until all of them are done. Then I can start the ferment. I really wish I still had my steam juicer, it makes the process so much easier and I get more...

Nice score on 166, ya still got a ways to go to catch up to 397. Our strawberry season is now over but this year has been my personal best so far.

Too bad your so far north of me, I could probably get you 160 lbs in one trip on one rd. Then theres the back of the fields that have another 1000's of plants in them. I wont be after any this year though, and if I do get any it would only be enough for 3 gallons or so.

My original plan was to do just that, and concentrate the must down to a 3 gallon batch with a SG of 1.090. That is where the question originally started, however it has taken a turn and now has two possible ways of doing it. The first way of boiling it all down to the correct SG might take a...

I think I got it all figured out now, Had to play with it for a few but got it now. I got this (actual SG reading on strawberries that were juiced today was 1.030) 76 g/l on initial SG (about 1.030) shooting for 3+ gallons so entered 12 liters in the program 240 g/l on final SG (about 1.090)...

ok got it to work except one issue I put in the first SG then the liters then final sg once I hit enter after the final sg it closes the program out, both of them. I don't get to see what it says for an answer ok solved that problem, however wow what a calculation starting sg 1.030 starting...

says im missing a dll. which dll's did you reference edit: says im missing salfibc.dll

The way I do my strawberries is by cooking them down to juice and removing pulp stems and whatever else is in the berries. I do this because with the amount of berries I deal with is too great to have to destem and clean each berry. By cooking them I can aquire the juice without a lot of work...

Lets see if I get this 10 gallons @ 1.025 = 75 oz of sugar (1 gallon @ 7.5 oz sugar) 1 gallons @ 1.090 = 31.6 oz of sugar So 75 / 31.6 = 2.37 gallons from 10 gallons of must

I am starting the process of 375 lbs of strawberries into juice for this years strawberry wine. I am planning to make 3 gallons worth without adding any sugar, instead I am going to condense the juice down enough to get the correct SG. With that in mind I need a formula on how to figure how much...

Think I mentioned what I used in the PM but if I forgot to mention it I use the red star pasteur red.

Its funny how some people get upset over cookies. I guess if you don't fully understand them and you get misleading information it could scare you, however cookies are not a bad thing and really for the most part no PERSON ever looks at what is being tracked. I think there is more to leaving...

Two weeks, make sure it hasn't soured.

There are a lot of regular wine grapes grown in the western part of the state, however out in the eastern part they become a little more difficult. That's not saying that they are impossible just more difficult. Keep the ideas coming

LOL, I had to go look up Ernul, I had heard of it and now that I looked it up I felt stupid for having to do it. We take bees to New Bern and Chocowinity for blueberry pollination and I remember seeing the sign after I looked it up. So Ok Ill bite, how much for that place. I already have a place...
