Wade I am sure this has been brouht up in the past, but since we are on the subject I have campden tablets, but they are sodium, not pottassium, or is there no difference, in the wine kits it is pottasium that is added.

I want to make a 1 gallon batch of pomegranite blueberry how much yeast do I add to this to start it fermenting?

Boozehag Since you do not have enough fruit for a 23 liter carboy, and this is just a suggestion, break your recipie down to make a 1 gallon batch, document all the ingredients, then when the batch is done, you will know if you like it, or dislike it, if you like it, you then can make a 23 liter...

sorry arcticsid I got my numbers confused what I should of asked was to use 3 cans of juice or four cans to make one gallon

Hey arcticsid thanks for the response I want to make 1 gallon for my first batch, just in case I have to pour it down the drain. I was terrible in my chemistry class, so if it turns out I can keep notes, and always make a bigger batch next time, so I should add one can, or two cans, to make one...

Corey are these wine kits or are they recipies?

Hi everyone I have made only 2 wine kits so far, and have followed instructions to a T. I was wondering if you were to make a wine kit that was meant to be aged for 3 or 4 months, could you let it age in the carboy, for that time period, without adding a finning agent? would it settle out on...
