Anyone know what happen to this grape or ever see one like it?

I going to sit back and enjoy some of the 2021-2022 vintage !

I guess i don’t see how this would be any different than the direction? You add a gallon of water to a 7 gallon bucket and them pour in the carbon as close to the bottom as possible. Stir lightly and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. I put the lid on durning that time. I didn’t read the hole...

It was just surprising that it seemed to taste so good with no added sugar. I have always backsweetened it also, but this was the first time with all the extra fruit. I do have a few 3 gallon container. I like your idea of bench testing it. I will try that first!

I realize it is done by the numbers, but that was not the question.

@Jovimaple SG at start 1.090 PH 3.20. Final SG .990 PH 3.14

I made some more dragon blood on 6/18/23. I used 12 pounds of Wymans 3 berry mix for 6 gallons of wine. The wine tastes pretty good right now and has cleared up. Thats the problem. I usually like sweet wines. At almost 2 months, this wine tastes sweet to me now. Either my taste is changing or my...

I have one and never use it. I just use a milk crate and like it much better. A milk crate don’t leave a puddle of water in the shoulder of the bottle.

I’d sure like to have a printer like that but with the little printing I do I can’t justify the cost. I am going to try @vinny solution with the spray. I order a can today. I am looking at the labels from labelsOnline though.

I assume this works good? Do you use an inkjet printer? @vinny

This is the label material I was using. I was going to let Avery print them for me but they get way to much money and I can’t get the quaintly that I want. 30 labels is all it need. WePrint Surface Safe Sign Labels, 3-1/2" x 5" White Film with Surface Safe Adhesive

Labels are not very water resistant! Crap!!

Hi @Jovimaple. I had considered a peach flavor pack but was afraid that it would make my wine too sweet at this point. It certainly could use some more flavor but not much more sweetness. I have ordered some peach flavored extract from Olive Nation and will bench test a little bit of it. If I...

I did a 3 gallon batch of peach DB. I used 4 pound of peaches, 1 pound of bananas, 48 oz of pineapple juice and 1 1/4 cups of lemon juice. I started it on 4-23-23 with a sg of 1.086 and a ph of 3.31. I rack on 5-30-23 added 1/8 teaspoon K-meta and 2 teaspoon of sorbate And fining agents. Sg .990...

I just bottle up a case and a half of the original Dragon Blood. It's really good now! It's only 2 1/2 months old, so I am looking forward to tasting it when it gets some age. It seem pretty impressive it will last 5 years with out degrading!

Graphing some Queens cells today.

Moscato FWK has been aging now for about three months. I took a sample of it today for a taste test. I did not like it. For one it just wasn't sweet enough for me. It came with one sweeter pack which I used. Didn't taste like the Moscato I wanted so I slowly add 2 more cups of sugar syrup until...
