Bottled Turbo Wine

Dorothy, I started fermenting it some 6 weeks ago and the thing stopped fermenting. I did stabilize with sulfite.

I am a novice winemaler and this is my first attempt so bare with me. I tasted it and although it didn't taste "great", it had quite a kick to it so even if I didnt use the hydro.vino meters I know it's got alcohol in it. IT sure isn't sweet (I like dry wines). It certainly is not still fermenting and has no CO2 in it. So, I bottled it after it cleared and stowed it away. Will open next Christmas and see what's what.

Now, I have some Cnsord grape juice in the fridge waiting for the Campeden to take effect. I will check with a hydrometer for a starting SG and all that jazz and take good notes.

The thing is, I am using turbo yeast for the moment and it seems to ferment pretty qucik and so far the taste isn't bad.

Sweetening Wine Darlene and anyone else of course
My method is a bit different, but along the same line of thinking. I take equal amounts of sugar and water ie: 1 cup water to 1 cup sugar. I first...

I think what I need to do is stop using the turbo and use my winemaking hobby as a way to learn patience :)

Saving my red wine
I posted this earlier under the 'drying out my red wines' but I'll repost under...

I am also about to start a watermelon wine and due to all the trouble with that stuff spoiling before fermenting I will definitley use the turbo.
