I have been making various wines over the last few years and I just found this forum a couple of weeks ago... I learned just basic winemaking from my Amish neighbors which is as follows: ferment berries for 5 days stirring once a day.... Strain and add sugar and yeast. Let is perk till it stops. I let it sit in the carboy till it clears naturally .. Back sweeten if needed. ... I add no Additional items. I wash all items with a no rinse cleaner. Out of all the wine I have made only one turned to vinegar .... My question is all these extra items I see being added on here do they change the flavor of the wines you guys make? Do they add addional life to the wine? Thanks for any input shared. D_O
