It didn't help, I added a tablespoon to it, the wine is still so tart it's almost gagging

Which is surprising since I only used 16 lbs for 5 gallons, ill give that a try

I think I'm going to bulk age it, but I have a question about my white wine, I stabilized and back sweetened it, but it still has a strong tart taste to it. Why is that?

So I checked my strawberry wine today an it's cleared up quite well thanks to super kleer. It tastes a little stout though. I back sweetened to 1.020 and it tastes good. Just strong haha

Yea, I wish I would have thought of that. The way I did it made my wine cloudy, and with a lot more sediment.

Yea it's like watching over gold haha

Yea I had the 5 lbs in the pot heating up and I had to watch it because every time I turned around my wife was trying to eat my strawberries

Someone mentioned to me that adding a flavor pack to my wine wine will bring down its tartness ( its still fermenting right now, but I had to taste it, it smelled good :) ) How would you make a f-pack for white wine?

My flavor pack turned out very nice, I siphoned some of the wine out, put it in a glass and put a little of that flavor pack in it and it was very good

Well my strawberry wine is at .994, I got 5 lbs of strawberries and 5 lbs of sugar. Im not going to add all the sugar and see how it turns out.

How do you do an f pack for white wine?

So I tasted my white wine and it is fairly tart. Will that go away? Or is that where back sweetening fixes it?

I will when it completes fermentation I will rack and top off, right now not too worried, still putting off enough CO2 to protect it

As of this morning my strawberry wine is at .998, and my white wine is at 1.002. Here's a picture of them

I was thinking about purchasing a conical frrmentor, I found that Blichmann makes a high quality one, and was wondering everyone's opinion about this idea.

Yea make sure you get that, and don't forget to test your pH and acid levels

That's a lot of sediment in one day, I can tell its going to drop a lot more. I can tell by the color, the top half is a darker red color and about half way down is a lighter pink color
