Done I am pretty happy with how this turned out. At a New Years Eve party some guy had a bottle of wine he made. I tasted it and it wasn't very good. I asked how he made it and he told me, he pitched wine yeast into a gallon of Welches let it ferment for two weeks, put his hand on the top of...

I didn't sweeten it. I racked it twice. The last time was Feb. 2nd Looking at my directions it says, I should have stabilized at 30 days. I didn't do that. (or if I did I don't remember, and didn't write it down.) The wine doesn't taste fizzy, so I'm assuming it's degassed.

I guess what I am really asking is how long can I let safely sit on the yeast. There is about 4 inches in the bottom of the jug. It doesn't look like it's fermenting anymore. There is a bit of pressure in the airlock and I do see some CO2 bubbles at the top of the wine. I know I should...

Thanks for the tips. Do you think topping it off with some cheap blackberry brandy would be OK?

Hello all, I recently decided to try and make a gallon batch of blackberry wine using a can of Vintners Reserve Blackberry Puree. I went to the Vintners Reserve website to see what info they had and basically the website says to follow the directions on the can. My can had no directions so...
