Where did you get that chart from?

If you don`t backsweeten, can it taste pithy (like grapefruit pith) or kinda acrid...weird to explain this without someone else tasting it. The reason i`m asking is that i didn`t backsweeten my last batch of WOW and it`s almost hard to drink and just about tastes off. Barfly.

How accurate can a vinometer be ? :hmm: Barfly.

Is brewing sugar the same as normal sugar? Barfly.

My DJ of Wow`s stopped slowly bubbling after a couple of days but the rest of my 8 DJ`s are still bubbling away. In a previous post, i put this down to it being too cold in my house but it can`t be if the rest are behaving as they should be. Can this Wow DJ be kicked off another way? Barfly.

Google`d it mate, and i can`t find anything conclusive, myth or what? Barfly.

Is it true that i can use tomato puree as a yeast nutrient. If so, how much to a DJ would i use? Barfly.

Am i right in thinking that if i put my really slow fermenting WOW into a water bath, it should kick it off properly? :hmm: BARFLY.

Stand the DJ in a bucket of water and drop a small aquarium heater in the water. Good idea that....... :thumb: Barfly.

Don`t know exactly, but it`s pretty feckin` cold. It`s Young super wine yeast compound. The reason i asked the question is that the fresh batch of WOW and an apple/white grape that i put on yesterday are really slow in kicking off compared to other batches that i`ve had on in the last month.

I live in a very cold house, so can this slow up the fermentation considerably?

Are there any Homebrew equipment and ingredient stockists near the Perth area? Having to pay postage on the consumables is getting a wee bit annoying. Barfly.

You could probably do it with a co2 bike pump and tubless valve?

Why not....................what could happen!!!!!!!!! :pray:

I`ve made up a few batches of varying fruit juices based on the WOW recipe and they all seem to be going according to plan, but there`s one (Summer Fruits) where the pulpy crust hasn`t sunk back down at all like the rest have. Will it come good given time or is there something else that i can do...

As usual, your collective advice is well appreciated and it has also worked...........labels are just about jumping off the bottles as i type.

Any tips on how to remove labels from wine bottles etc., so that i can re-use the ones that i`ve been saving for bottling my first ever batch? BARFLY.

That`s kicked off, i`ve got wines made from juice fermenting :- 1 Gallon of White Grape and Summer Berries 2 Gallons of White Grape and Apple 2 Gallons of WOW. 1 Gallon of Red Grape All bubbling away nicely. Many thanks for the very quick replies to my Novice enquiries...

I use a steradent tablet type of cleaner for my soup flask, so would i be ok using them for steralising my DJ`s ?
