Lychee Wine

[Darren]

Thanks Karl ive used a b1 tab and the nutrient what will this do to the wine will it help to keep the yeasties going gave it a good stir hope this was ok cheers daz

[Rich]

hopefully it'll kick start the yeast and get them to finish it off!!

Have you calibrated your hydrometer? just a thought... does it read sg 1.00 in 20 degree tap water? I had one that was out a little way. not by that much though.

Reading taken 1002 its been the same reading for over a week ive had this trouble before it dosen't seem to want to get down to 990 ish i used a d47 yeast its still bubling but only every now and again i would say once every 10 minutes has it finished or should i leave it a bit longer

I also used D47 and mine is still sloooowly fermenting at about 1.000. Karl describes this yeast as "bone idle", I think he's right.

Really pleased with my first batch, drinkable straight away. Used Youngs yeast and supermarket white grape juice. 9/10

[Richard S]

My first batch was about 9/10 but after a couple of months it was stunning stuff.

The gravities on the "lychee twins" have now dropped to 0.992 and 0.994, much better!

[Darren]

0.996 ive racked and degassed and stabalised tonight smells lovely and tastes good

[Darren]

Top banana, how about saving a couple of bottles for me instead of fobbing me off with your beer
