I know its a silly question but i started my first batch of blackberry wine yesterday. Its a 1 gallon recipe so i did 5x for 5 gallon and split it in half to go into 2 different fermenters to start. The recipe was a little hard to follow but basically i forgot to add 5 quarts of water total...

Will montrachet red star yeast work well with peach and blackberry wine?

I recently (several days ago) started two batches of muscadine wine planning on using wild yeast as i have in the past but i am concerned about how theae 2 batches will work since the grapes have been frozen. I ordered some Montrachet Red star yeast, which should be in today. How exactly do i go...

Just ordered this book. I have been reading it and i find it very interesting. Just wondering if anyone else has the book and if they have tried making any of the brew mentioned in the book?

i normally make my muscadine wine using natural yeasts in the grapes. I had always made it with fresh grapes off the vines. I had a good bit leftover from last year so i froze them. I recently decides to start a few more batches using my same natural yeast recipe. Got to thinking about it and...

This is my 1st attempt at wine making. I started these two batches of muscadine wine in Sept 2012. I am very pleased how they both turned out. The first batch was made with "Southland" purple muscadines and the second batch was made with bronze "Darlene" muscadines. Each batch made me exactly 8...

Does anybody have a strawberry wine recipe they would mind sharing? I would prefer to make it using wild yeast as that is how i make my muscadine wine. I am not advanced enough in wine making to get too technical with things but would be open to trying any recipe. Would like to get it started...

I made 2 batches of muscadine wine last september. It turned out real well. Both batches are still in their containers. I used the large 5 gal purified water jugs. I still have the balloon over the opening of the jugs. The reason i never bottled is because i was worried there was still gas in it...

I just finished my first 2 gallon batch of muscadine wine. I used a natural yeast method and the wine came out real good...just wish it was a tad sweeter. Is there anyway to make the wine sweeter before I bottle it? Or is there anything I could do in the beginning to make it sweeter in the end...
