Great picture !

Yea I am thinking about getting enough for a 3 gallon batch. This early spring weather is getting harder and harder on fruit trees. We waited to prune our grapes hoping to keep them dormant a little longer.

Nice. I missed out getting this kit. Kept putting it off. Darn it. Glad it is working out well for you!

Oh poor wine!! Maybe it needs to live at my house [emoji12]

Just wondering how this marshmallow wine is doing.

You are most welcome !! It’s such a fun process and very addicting. If I don’t have something fermenting I get itchy. Lol.

I ran by the super Wal-Mart today and they have the bags. 3 pounds $9.98.

They were in the frozen fruit section with the bags of fruit for making smoothies.

I bought some several months ago. I have not looked lately. I didn’t ferment the mix.. I racked a triple berry wine that was aging in secondary onto a carboy I had stuffed the plum berry cacao nibs into. I let the wine sit in the fruit for about a week then racked off the fruit/cacao .. I had...

Wonderful ideas !!

You are doing great !! Apple wine will be fun to do! Sounds like the grapefruit is nicely put away for a little nap! [emoji4]

First a little background on fermentation. Forgive me if you know this info.. I just want to be sure we are on the same page. Primary fermentation is when you first pitch yeast and it starts eating the sugar in your juice to make alcohol. The more sugar you have in the juice/must the more...

If you decide to rack be sure to leave the lees on the bottom and not rack them into your wine. Your wine needs some time to age. If you bottle now, the bottles will most likely end up with lees in the bottom of them as the wine will continue to drop out lees for a while.

I wouldn’t give up yet. I would rack it to a smaller carboy Or top it up with a similar wine ( this is controversial and a personal opinion but a similar wine would be pretty easy .. yes it may cause the flavor to change a little. So that decision is yours. I would buy some potassium...

K-meta is an abbreviated term for potassium metabisulfite. You should read up on it’s use but briefly it used 24 hours prior to pitching yeast to get rid of unwanted wild yeast. So you start with a clean slate so to speak when you add your yeast. Then adding k-meta when racking helps protect...

I hit send before I was finished. Lol. Do you have a plan now ?

Nice ! Be sure to add k- meta with racking to protect from oxygenation

I wasn’t thinking when I asked that ... your wine wouldn’t be clear yet bring only a week old. Ours is clearing slowly. We also added pectic enzyme in primary. I am thinking I will need more clearing agents and more time too. Have a great day !

Well hey neighbor! I am in southeast Missouri. We are getting a lot of rain now as well. In fact out creek is up and I can’t get out. You certainly have some good stuff on the shelf. I will definitely keep you posted this wine
