I racked my marion berry and my pineapple today and was wondering if the carboys are full enough? They are up above the shoulder but probably still 6 inches from the bung.

That makes me fill better. I was wondering what kinda something that went wrong.

I have one gallon of cranberry wine started. I have it in secondary ferment and the sediment looks like its growing up the sides. It looks like a streak growing about half way up the carboy. It kind of looks like a heart monitor graph. Has anyone ever experienced this problem before?

would adding oak chips to it help give it an oaked aged flavor

YES its only a gallon. I wasn't sure how it would turn out. I thought we could try that and if that works than will try a bigger batch

Has anybody tried making Elderberry Wine from a package of dried Elderberries. I was putting some together and needed some input on what I can do to make it work out. I really like this kind of wine and my supplier had a package so I figured what the heck. What do you think about this:5oz. of...

You need to fix that empty carboy thing. That will cause you to loose sleep and in some cases even depression.

I was wondering when I taste my banana wine for the first time. What should I expect when it hits me? If it is dry what takes that away? What can I use to give it more banana flavor if I want that result. What method do I use to make it sweeter if its not sweet enough for me? I have...

Is it just me or does the smell of a fermentation of a friut wine really just smell great. I have a pineapple in its primary that just smells great. I find my self hovering over the top smelling it like fresh baked cookies.

Well I might not have added sugar to the wine kit but while I was on the phone with my union steward. When I got off the phone the crime had already been committed. I was hoping to hear it was no big deal. They had just put another kit together and added the flavor kit together with it and it...

OK I stirred it up ,and than I stirred some more. It says on the kit that it should have an SG of 07 and it does. Can I add to that and bring it to 09 to make it a little stronger. I want a little more than that 07 but I don't want to hurt the flavor of the wine. I have the first wine kit ever...

I just put one of these kits together and tested the SG and it was really low. Some where around 1.04. I had to add two pounds of sugar. Now the SG is 1.08 which is just above what they where calling for when the kit was together. Has anyone tryed this kit? I was wondering if that was normal...
