Blueberry Wine

[pizz65]

OK, started my blueberry on 4/24 SG was 1.088 racked it to the carboy on 4/30 SG 1.000 it is still working and the SG is at .994 should I put the K-meta in and the sorbate now or let it stop working?

 

[Bert]

I would let it stop working.....backsweeten later if you want and maybe make an f-pack too.....Good Luck

 

[Wade E]

Let it stop as adding that stuff wont really make it stop anyways, it doesnt stop it from fermenting, it prevents it from re fermenting.

 

[Tom]

From one that makes it.. Let it stop. you cant rush winemaking

 

[Waldo]

Rigt nowI would add a good dose of patience and then verify fermentation has completed with SG readings then degass and stabilize with kmeta and sorbate

Tepe: I did an f-pac withtwo pounds of same frozen blueberries, and a a few cans of blueberries , maybe one can of blackberries (typically very good quality from Oregon) Reduced over medium heat, cooled, strained,added, stabilized.Strange , Iknow, but very much a clove taste. Did not sweeten. No wine conditioner. I think I'll open a second bottle tonight and check it. Thanks.

still interesting... Wine condidtioner can add a cough medicine taste so thats whay I asked
try back sweetening with simple syrup. It may mask the clove
