Ok thanks

Would that start it fermenting again?

4 cans concentrate and 2 1/2 cups cane sugar. OG was 1.100 and SG was .992. I like it just want a more lemonade flavor.

Down sized this for 2 gallon and it tastes good but would like more lemonade flavor. Should I have added more concentrate? Has a good kick.

First off I wonder if my problems may be not sealing primary. I used a new 2 gallon bucket and after 7 days hadn't noticed any bubbles in the lock[old style S lock] but checked it yesterday and it had went from OG of 1.996 to SG of 1.000. I transferred it to a secondary. This is the second time...

Used fresh unopened yeast that I had started for 6 hours and the mix sat over 24 hours before adding the started yeast. Still is showing no activity. What do I do now?

Hello. Does this type of sugar take longer to start working compared to regular sugar?

Yes inside showed activity until I stirred things up today. Fingers crossed again. Thanks Blacksmith1

Just rechecked it and smells good and SG is now 1.030 but still no activity.

OG was 1.100 and haven't checked the current SG and didn't taste it or smell it. I wondered about leaking gas but everything seems good.First couple days it was releasing a couple bubbles a minute now nothing. I'm using the S style locks. Looking back thru my book I used 2 cups sugar instead of...

Mixed a new gallon from Welchs grape concentrate on the 8th and the next day started the yeast for 4 hours then added it. Started working and bubbling very almost immediately so I was pleased. Did this for a couple days then yesterday the bubbling stopped and this morning I notice a white film...

Yes just using juice now. Thanks

I've read you should stir daily and also read not to stir. Which is it or is it different for different types of wine? TIA James

Transferred this to the secondary this morning after 9 days and the SG was .990. Put a clean lock on it and will let it sit for another couple weeks then transfer again. So far so good with this batch. Thanks for the help fellas.

Is the RED STAR the proper yeast to be using? I used yeast nutrient also.
