Man Tom is right on as usual. Did you use Sodium or Potassium Meta? That much Sodium may alter the taste in the wrong direction. Either way that is a ton of Metabisulfite ! 2.5 tsp vs .25 tsp hum. One thing for sure though is that it is sterile. Keep us posted and dont give up yet.

Yeh you wont be drinking the skins ha ha. Never tried boiling them?? I froze mine and after thawing smashed them. Got alot of juice around 60% I would say. Keep us informed.

No, wine does get better with age. It is just that some wines cant age long enough to "fix" them. :sI have a Cabernat Sav. that is 11 yrs old and I am waiting for a special occasion to open it. Not sure if it will be good or not?? Welcome:b

Welcome from a fellow Ohioan. This is a great site for info on wine and beer making.

How many lns of berries to use depends on the berries. If they are flavorless more is needed, if they are juicy and flavorfull less is needed. It is a matter or taste. I have made very good blueberry using 3.5 lbs per gallon but the berries were very ripe and juicy. As far as all the nutrient...

I was asking the size because it seems to me that 1 gallon batches clear out quicker than 5-6 gal. ones do?? I am sure it is related to volumn, distance to clear ect. Once your wine gets that sparkle it is saying "Look at me I am ready to bottle". Am I the only one who talks to their wine? Does...

This is my first try with watermellon so not sure what to expect. It was in the living room with the AC so that may have been a blessing in disguise.

What size of batch is it? How clear is it? If clear I would let it sit for least 2 weeks after f-pac, rack and bottle

lmfao !!:)

The best way is to juice the watermellon and use 100% juice not 50/50 water and juice. Also cut the thin layer of green "skin"off first. This will help with the rind taste. There is just something about a watermellon wine that is green!! Steve
