Hello, So I made a quad berry dragon blood (pineapple, strawberry, mango and peach. There was a lot of head space so I filled it with vodka and water. 5th of vodka and water. I took a sample in a rocks glass and put it in my wine fridge. After forgetting it for a few days the alcohol flavor...

Idk the pH or TA but I do know that the wine taste amazing after only 4 weeks. I’m actually about to make 5 gallons of it. What can I use to fill the extra space in the carboys. I’ve seen people use marbles. Is there other things I can use?

So here’s what I’ve got. I made Pomegranate wine and it was out of this world. Best I’ve ever made and I found the recipe online. 9/11/2020 - Pomegranate wine 1 gallon * 96 ounces Pom 100% juice * 3 lbs sugar * 1 tsp yeast nutrient * 2 tsp acid blend * 1 cup strong black tea (instead of 1/2...

The skins is what provides the color.

I do stir it daily. Stirred it vigorously today and it seemed to have reactivated. As of now I have 2 different types fermenting, Pomegranate wine and my quad berry (pineapple, strawberry, mango and peach) dragon’s blood version. Can’t wait to taste it.

Update #2: My wine was fermenting vigorously when I stirred it today, and then all of a sudden stopped. I tested the SG levels and it was at 1.150 and it stopped bubbling the airlock. Please note I’m using a 2 gal bucket for 1 gal of wine. Testing the waters I guess. After checking SG levels I...

Update: I rechecked my SG reading and it’s actually 1.150. 😬 a little hotter than I expected it to be. I added yeast nutrient, should I add test energizer to help it ferment?

I’m trying a 96 oz of straight Pom juice my starting SG level was 1.050. Do you think I should add more sugar to bring it up a bit? I do plan to back sweeten it when it ferments dry. Just want to get higher abv. 😁

thank you both so much. Have either of you ever tried making pomegranate wine with Pom juice?

So I’m making a pomegranate wine and I’m trying 1 gallon at first. Can I use my 2 gallon fermentation bucket to make one gallon of wine or do I need to use a 1 gallon fermentation bucket? Thanks in advance Alexey

What does it cost to make labels. Is that for personal use or resale?

That’s what I love about this forum. I’m new to wine making and I’ve spent hours and hours reading different posts and I can see so many people asking questions on what to do with bad wine, and the people helping Make it better from person experiences.

Is that ace bucket 5 gallons or is it 6 to the top?(meaning theres a gallon of wiggle room) I’ve been looking for a fermentation bucket for a while

So DB is SP but with fruit?

I hope you were able to see the pictures I loaded. Got any cool recipes that I need to try other then DDDD?

I actually got very lucky and found a guy who is willing to sell me a bunch of his stuff for super cheap. He’s getting out of making wine. Right now I only have (2) 1g Carboys (1) 2g primary fermenting bucket and all of my powders. Definitely going to be an upgrade. Picking all of that up after...

i actually have it printed and ready to make but I need 6 gallon bucket and a 5 gallon carboy or two. I saw that he only uses 6 lbs of fruit total. Im told to use 6 lbs fruit per gallon. I don’t understand the math behind that

Im in Florida. People don’t really recycle here. 😞

Wow you sure sent me some reading material. Lol. I love the fact that y’all are sharing your wine knowledge. This is great. questions: 1. Do I have to lee buying more carboys since mine will be taken up for the next 9 months? Or is there something else I can store wine that is racked? 2...

Thanks sour I’ve watched that video and now I know kind of how to read it. I’ll post pictures of my reading in couple days. Maybe even tomorrow. Was initially going to do it on Thursday before leaving to Vegas for my birthday.
