Ok, if this works you should be able to see "fruity Karl" bubbling away At the front are the "Fruity Karl" twins. Back left is Pinot Blanc and the other is Shiraz (just bottled that)Attached FilesLast edited by Richard S; 18-08-2007, 05:59 PM.National Wine Judge NGWBJ

Decided to give this a go......
Decided i'd give the strawberry recipe a go, while i'm waiting for the Plums to defrost!! So, 1 gallon of Strawberry is now on the go in the primary, bubbling away nicely (1 to 2 'bloops'/second). Followed your lead Bob and used 2 tins of fruit in the must.
Starting SG was 1.084, so should hopefully be a nice wine once it's finished!!
Will keep you posted!
Will take a piccy or to tonight."There are 10 types of people who understand Binary; those that do and those that don't.........."

My tinned strawberry wine has finished fermenting want to treat this as a kit rack to clean demi add something whatever they use in kits sweeten if needed then shake to De-gas and bottle. What I want to know is, what is the something I need to add?.Sorry if I'm being ignorant I don't know what I'm doing as such yet.
Thanks yul.

If you plan on sweetening, you need to add pottassium sorbate to prevent re-fermentation of the sugars you will add. you need to add 1 campden tablet per gallon at the same time though, to avoid off smells (geranium)
or...use non fermentable sweetener....lactosse for example, or use the wine sweetener available from home brew shops.
hope this helps

Having said that my must has finished fermenting 1 glug through the air lock every minute and very clear, I just checked with the hydrometer to be sure and it read 1010,is this normal as it has been fermenting for 2.5 week should I rack to a clean demi if its still fermenting or leave it there?as I have the strawberries still in the demi. Don't know what the gravity was before started fermenting just followed the recipe on this thread. The yeast I used was Young's dessert/high alcohol.
