Thank You! I appreciate the feedback!

No advice from anyone?

Yeah I did move it to the bucket turns out I do think it is a 2 gallon. I recently racked it into a secondary at an SG of 1.000 did I wait to long or am I good?

I made a new post Here- http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/f5/my-current-pineapple-lemonade-secondary-36524/

http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/f5/my-new-pineapple-lemonade-36410/ Well here is where I started and Now I just Racked it into the Secondary My question Is I started at about 1.082 and racked at 1.000 Did I wait too long to rack? should I have done it at a slightly higher SG or am I good...

Hey Arne I did have a question though. Would It be ok to pour it into the bucket because I though the whole reson for having cheesecloth/airlock was for oxgen not to get to the mash I thought the yeast feed on the sugars in an Anaerobic state? Am I mistaken or missing something.

Sounds good I like all the input I think Ima let this one roll for now and may try another concentrate within the next week, I got a 1gal ferment bucket and a couple of 1gal carboys so I think I can try a couple at a time. Thanks for all the help! I think when it comes time I will backsweeten...

Sweet! I think Ima try a trick my buddy told me about he tops off with sanitized marbles! so not to dillute his wine. I thought it sounded interesting so ill give it a whirl! besides I dont think ill be able to find anything thatll match the flavor really well. So what do you say about a week or...

Lol just checked It and..... Guess you were rite It does smell great. So this is a good sign anyways though? This means the yeast is active and it has started fermenting rite, I didnt see many bubbles comin up. I havnt checked PH yet either. Also should I do something to it or just let it be...

Thanks for the replys! Yeah now that you mention it I was thinking why not use my bucket for primary but I thought It might have been because I dont have any pressed fruit to fit in the mash. So overflow may be a problem hmmm I dont have anychesse cloth at the momemt you think a wash cloth could...

Well I Have tried my hand at wine making before and wasnt to successful. I have tried pressing my own fruit but I could never tune in, so now Im trying concentrates. So I figured I would post my Ingredients and method and see If I could get feedback and direction. Is for my 1 gallon carboy So...

Thank you a great suggestion Ive never seen that site before it will absolutely be saved in my favorites!

Do you know of any good recipe/instruction books that you would recomend?

Hey thank you everyone, thats a great suggestion. Should I use a campden tablet first before I add yeast to kill the "natural yeasts" and wait 2 days then put in an activated yeast? or is that unneccessary

No I know it takes a while, I started this blueberrry back in january 6 months ago. The problem I have is I am doing something consistently wrong to get the sulfide stink- am I not putting enuff nutrient in it, airing out the gases when I rack, to small of a batch, or is there something I am...

Ok I didnt know that my book is geared towards grape wine not fruit. Thanks! You dont think the malolactic made it get that rubbery and bland taste do you? Was there anything in my process that seemed off?

I did a Malolactic because the book I am using for help says "malolactic bacteria softens the wines acidity but at the same time diminishes its bitterness, heightens its fruitiness, and improves its body." I figured that it sounded pretty good and the local shop had some in stock so I gave it a...

Here Is what I have for chemicals-- Sanitizer, lavlin k1 v1116, redstar montrachet, campden tablets, pectic enzyme, acid blend, tartaric acid, citric acid, potassium sorbate, yeast nutrient (diammonium phospate) and wine tannin. Ok so I belive this is what happened to my last blueberry, Day 1...

Hey thanks I might try that concentrate again I acctually did that the first batch I made I think it was welches red grape juice It came out pretty good. It was my first attempt I had a gallon plastic water jug cut a smal hole in the top pushed a tube in it and used a $1 check valve (one way)...

Ok, so I am not new to this site but I have never posted anything before and I have a problem that I just cant seem to get fixed. I have tried my hand at 3 different wines and all have came out horrible. I have a small 1 gallon setup for fruit which includes a 1 gallon bucket with airlock, 1g...
