I started a apple wine from frozen apple juiced & after 6 days I could not figure out why nothing was happening so I decided to check my notes to see if I had used Potassium Metabisulfite instead of Campdon pills AGAIN... Here I never added the yeast!!! :o Does anyone else do silly things...

WOW.... and I though having 7 going [buckets & carboys] was alot.. You sure have me beat~~

{Heck I got it alot cheaper online even with shipping. Go figure} WOW, EVEN WITH SHIPPING?? I know the shipping is what kills you!!!!! My starter kit came with this silly corker that I could NOT use.. So I ended up getting a floor corker. The local store near me [45 mins away] is cheaper...

This morning I splash racked the Boysenberry and added Cuvee yeast.. I also have a Welch's Raspberry/Grape wine that I think I also over dosed... I started it 2/5 with no change & used same K-meta on this batch! What yeast do you think I should use? My choices are Red Star Montrachet, Cote...

what I am wondering is, does this wine REALLY taste like bananas? We love bananas here and this would be a GREAT wine as long as it really does taste like banana!! ??? :confused:
