Thanks Dean. Tepe, I did not yet taste it.

That's the real bummer - alljuice Amarone.

My 2 year old son pulled the plastic airlock out of the rubber stopper on my carboy. It was bulk aging for about 2 mos. The airlock was off for 2 days. Is it ruined? I am going to go ahead and sulfite and bottle it tomorrow, and am hoping it makes it. Any thoughts? Thanks guys Jack

....and it smelled good....much better than it tasted.

I wouldn't want to sit and drink it yet. It was sharp. I am hoping and pretty sure it will get smoother in another 6-12 mos.

Yeast started in warm (105 degree ) water, sat for 15 min then added to 72 degree must. The process and numbers do check out.... Thanks

I am certain it's not fermenting. SG is higher than start, due to adding raisins after 24 hrs from pitching yeast.

Hi! I just started an all juice Amarone on Sunday night and it's still not bubbling at all. Added raisins after 24 hrs in primary, like directions said. SG is higher than start - sugar from raisins. It's been 3 days in the primary! I got all wound up about this with I think a Zin I did, but...

thanks guys, I will put on a full airlock and snap the lid. This forum is great help always! Jack

Hi, my all juice kit is a little slow to start, so I will prob need to leave it in the primary a couple extra days (leaving town for overnighter on day 5). Is this ok? I assume yes, since it's not a really long extended time period, but wanted to ck with some pros. Thanks! Jack

I bottled it up on 8/30. The 2-3 extra glasses worth did not go to waste- I am really excited about how good this will potentially be a year from now. What a cool hobby.....

Big Ike, how long from the time you bottled to the tasting? Just curious. Thanks! Jack

Good to know, I want to try this one out! How long from time of primary fermentation until you started drinking it? Again thanks!

Is this sweet or dry? I prefer dry wines, so if sweet, how do I know how to adjust sugar for a dryer version? Thx! Jack

Sounds good to me! When I checked the bucket again last night, it was nice and foamy on the top.....yum

Thanks Wade! Like many other new makers, I get jittery.....

Sorry! I should have posted to the MostiMondiale section.....

Hi, this is my 4th kit. I started this one Monday, now Wednesday. It doesn't seem to have the same activity as the other kits I have done, no real bubbles, or surface swirling movement. I follow all instructions to a T and sterilize everything. What gives? Am I just worrying over nothing...

It was the EC-118 yeast pack

Starting SG was 1.080, now at 1.074. Room and must constant 74 degrees.
