Wow, that is nice. Where I live, Fayetteville, Ft. Bragg and Cumberland county, population of about 300,000 there are no wine or brew supply stores that I know of. 90 miles to the nearest.

Greetings, welcome, and hello.:b

Leave it set a couple of days. See what happens. I'm assuming you already pitched the yeast. Just give it a chance. You never know...

Words of wisdom!

Welcome from the NC Sandhills. Great people and knowledge here.

I prefer to drink my wine outdoors when the weather is nice. I enjoy it more and it seems to taste better. As said, the fresh air seems to enhance the aroma as well.

Five bucks will get me 12 pounds of sugar and 80 cents in change. I can't justify the expense. Besides, it's my kitchen too. :d

Perhaps heavy condensation inside and freezing/thawing conditions are responsible for this. Just a thought?

What was your starting SG? And what was it when you racked to secondary? I would wait until the SG bottoms out and remains the same 3 days in a row. Rack, and remove off the gross lees add Camden and wait another 3 weeks, rack again and then add fineings if you like. I generally just wait and...

Are you fermenting in a bucket? If so take the lid and airlock off and cover with a towel or old tee shirt. Stir it once or twice daily. Sounds like you are off to a good start but the yeast needs oxygen. Most do their primary fermentation minus airlock until SG hits 1.020 or 1.030, then...

Hello@m dubey! Welcome to the forums. I gave used papaya skins as a substitute for pectin enzyme(pectolase) for clearing. Some might laugh but I also use powdered infant formula as yeast nutrient. (New granddaughter). I hope we gave not become gender neutral here as I don't want to be offensive...

:br That's what I'm talking about ! @jimwelch

The instructions indicate, "we recomend using only juice or concentrate to make wine." There appears to be a screw on lid on this thing, maybe 4 to 5 inches in width, so it's probably possible to put a fruit bag in. For me, I'll just stick to the old plastic brew bucket. This seems to be a...

You must be talking about the FastFerment System. Used for both primary and secondary fermentation. I misunderstood your question. Unfortunately, I know nothing about them. Maybe someone here has one or has used one. Google fastferment. The instructions are available online.
