Hi all, great forum. I started my first brews with 2 two Lt plastic bottles; one with red wine and the other with mead. I followed the instructions included to the letter. After just two days I started seeing the fermentation at the top of both batches indicated by a thin layer of very small white ...

It's highly unlikely that the yeast is the culprit (I have some thats been in the fridge for over 12 years and it still works fine). You might try using a starter. Pour about a cup of your juice (or room temperature water) into a separate bowl and add 1/2 cup of sugar and some yeast. Cover and let t...

If the sugar was used up within 10 days time, should I increase the amount when I bottle it? You said the sour taste was from the used up sugars. I used 2 cups on my 1st bottle, the next 3 have 1 Cup, and the last 2 1 1/2 cups. Just trying to get a set recipe without sourness and plenty of alcohol ...

Sorry to sound mean, but they have been in the fridge for two days and no clarification. As I mentioned in another post , I did everything correctly in the instructions. I was wondering if there some issues with the yeast. One thing that I did was put 1/4 Tsp. of yeast in the bottles. The wine that...

That means all the sugars are getting used up. Put it in the fridge. Once its mostly clarified (and still cold), back sweeten it to taste.

Yes, very fizzy. I also tasted them unclarified. The bottles are rock solid and fermenting. I notice that the yeast is on the bottom of the bottles. I'm wondering if certain types of fruit juice may take longer to ferment. Some are blended with Pomegranate, Black Cherry and Blueberry juices. I used...

I started my 1st bottle on 9/29, and 3 bottles on 10/3. I sampled the 1st bottle 2 days ago, very dry, and cannot notice any alcohol. I tried my Apple Cider I started on 10/3 this morning, same results. The 1st bottle had 2 cups of sugar and the Cider was made with 1 Cup sugar. Just want to know if...

That is unusual- usually once the beverage is cold it will not overflow like you described.

After you removed the EZ Caps, did you replace it with a normal cap or put the EZ Cap back on?

Hello All, I'm new here and want to know if I can use Pasteurized Fruit juice to make my wine? I bought several bottles of R.W. Knudsen Cranberry Nectar in the Organic section of my store. It says 100% juice, no sugar. How much sugar should I put in my 2 Liter bottle to make a potent wine and how l...
