All I can say is wow....that sucks... my first move would be to buy 2 new carboys personally.... :)

Ohhh that sounds interesting... gotta see if I can find some....

hmmmm apparently I should've waited longer after the campden to add the sugar... went to take an SG reading and I'll be darned if it wasn't bubbling away... I guess I'll just have to let it set for a good long while.... to let the yeast truly finish and die out, before I can sweeten it

well took the SG today since I'm leaving for school this weekend and won't be able to do anything for a few months... SG: 1.07 Taste: tasted good and sweet... Strong honey flavor, no distinguishable butterscotch flavor, added 5 more butterscotch to the gallon...

Just racked it onto 6 crushed campden tablets in another 6 gallon carboy... SG was really low for my tastes, so added another 2.5 lbs of corn sugar, bringing the SG back up to roughly 1.02.... will take SG again in a few days to allow the sugar to mix in...

Yeah I decided experimenting with a 1 gallon batch since no one had a recipe available... when all is said and done I hope to have a nice recipe to let others know the results...

Thanks... so now all I have to do is the hard part......wait :)

Ok here's the thing I started a batch of watermelon wine back on 7/9/11 in a 6 gallon primary I added 40 pounds of watermelon, 5 lbs of sugar, 1 package of yeast (71b-1122), and pectic enzyme... The starting SG was 1.040 after only a week almost all the actual "watermelon" had...

I had pretty much the same question... I like the sweeter wines and mead so I took the JAOM recipe that my father had on hand and switched a few things around... here's what I started with and hopefully it'll come out nice too... started it on the 9th and now she's happily bubbling the...
