Well just added half a bottle, now we see what happens!! EDIT: Added the rest of the bottle as fermentation was going very strong!! Update: Added the second bottle with no problems, still very strong fermentation going. Now I will add the 3rd bottle per the recipe.

Articsid, If I understand correctly you added Pectin as well. I don't see that on the original recipe. Was it powder or liquid pectin e? Just curious why you added it? http://www.skeeterpee.com/Skeeter_Pee/Recipe.html

I just added the yeast no starter, but in my case I have not put a single drop of lemon juice in it yet. So basically I will have a 4.75 gallon starter to add the lemon juice to slowly. I just checked it and the yeast is starting to swell up on top. Depending on how long it takes for it to take...

Thanks for the responses, I might have to go see him in person one day!! We are usually over in his area around memorial day.

Got any updates on this? I am going to start one tomorrow.

Simply solution if funds allow... Buy more carboys!! :D

Well I found Brehm Vineyards in Wine Maker Magazine. They are kinda close to me. a 5.5 gal frozen bucket will produce about 5 gals they say. A 50 gal drum will prouce about 44 gals they estimate. They are probably 3 to 4 hours away from me. Not to bad I guess. Plus you can pre order fresh grapes...

Where would you buy fresh juice like that? Maybe Reisling as well?

I am new to and from what I understand you want to do k-meta and sorbate before bottling?

I too buy from Finevinewine.com. Excellent service is all I can say!!

I read somewhere else, that another person reversed the process. It might be to late for you. They added everything but the lemon juice in the primary, after it started they slowly back added the lemon juice a little at a time over a few days, trying to not overpower the yeast. Hopefully you get...

Sounds really good, I am going to keep a close eye on this one!!

I too was wondering about this and did a search, #9 if you have a floor corker as they give a better seal. #8 if using a handcorker, cuz it would almost be impossible to get a #9 in with it.

I was thinking after that I need to weight it down. Thanks for the suggestion about the soap. Will have to try it, because summer time is usually a problem!!

Not snapping on, it just losely sits on it and he wasn't in there a coule days ago, or if he was, I didn't notice the little bugger. But I am glad to know that my wine should be fine!! It's amazing, I keep finding the door to my wine room open. It must be a ghost doing it, because everyone in...

Well as mmadmikes1 suggested, just about any white would be good. Some websites offer information about what the manufacture recommends as a minimum aging period. I mainly shop at www.finevinewines.com and usual they list aging requirements.

Hahaha nice one one, I like it. Alas though, I threw it out! I am now officially DOOMED!!!

I am a newb myself and if I am wrong, I am sure it will be corrected. Most kits should age at least 3 months, how ever some that you can drink almost right away will be the mist or breeze style kits. These are on the sweet side and are more like wine coolers. I started one on 11-27-09 and will...

OK good to know. I always thought fruit flies were the death of wine!! I don't know if he died happy as he never reached the fruit of his labor. The sides of my fermentor are very wet and I think he may drowned before he got to the golden nectar of my Piesporter!
