i got the girl i like a nice bottle of spanish wine as a gift. we are in college. it’s difficult to find the right time and way to give it to her because alcohol isn’t allowed on campus and i don’t want to give it to her randomly and make her hold it the whole time.
I have made wine three years in a row with real grapes.
First year, sheraz: not bad 6/10
Second year merlot: great: 9/10
Third year merlot: terrible 2/10 — the wine had bubbles and it smelt bad. It was also very strong in alcohol.
I am suspecting that yeast is behind my problem. I used a general type wine yeast.
thanks!!
I was previously using champagne yeast
Is there a yummie warm beverage without alcohol I could offer instead, that maybe even looks a bit like mulled wine and can be drunk from the same glasses?
oh grape juice sounds nice. Thank you! Do you think I could also use elderflower juice, or don’t children like that?
I may go to israel this january with birthright. Im 20 years old I know I can buy alcohol in Israel no problem because 18 is the drinking age. but can i get back into the US with it when the drinking age is 21 here?
Do most nightclubs that serve hard alcohol and beer also serve wine?
I once heard from a friend if you blend the fruit and keep the juice in fridge for a few days it will taste a little bit like alcohol. how true is this ? do i need to add something in the process of fermentation ( exp yeast ). Pls advice
Called Chaptalization, not only does it seem like cheating and cheapening the quality of wine, is it really necessary? All the wine recipes I find for making it at home call for literally pounds of sugar. Would using the right fruit at the right ripeness result in a good amount of alcohol?
What about for other berry fruits, apples, or pears?
Can anyone tell me a wine that has great robust fruit taste and only suddle alcohol base? Thank you.
Sorry. I meant a hint of alcohol
I want to give this sparkling wine as gifts, in a glass bottle. Will the yeast be enough to carbonate it? Will the preservatives keep it from ever becoming alcoholic? This is very important as it is against our religion to drink any alcohol at all.
I am planning our wedding for april and found a place that will allow us to purchase our own alcohol and have it served at their facility. How many cases of beer should I have for a 130 person wedding reception, lasting 4 hours, and how many cases of wine also?
