thank you got this on the go now
will this require findings when i rack it with the tablet and stabilizer ?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

If you want to clear it fast you will need finings, if you want to let it clear naturally it will but will take a lot longer.

The best finings i have used are KwiK Clear and Clear it, they will clear a DJ in 48 hours.

 

[jessthecat]

got this racked this morning with tablet and stabilizer i havent put any finings in as i aint got any but it relatively clear already smells ok tastes a bit dry about 2 weeks and i will get it bottled . thanks for you help :)

That's only 2 ltr of juice. Will you top it up at all?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

You use two litres of juice a cup of strong black tea and 800g of sugar then you add water until its at the beginning of the shoulder, you top up after fermentation has finished when you rack to a second DJ.

If you used 4 litres of juice it would be very strong tasting, start with two litres then you can add juice after stabilising if its too watery and next time add more juice at the beginning. (i think you will find its fine)

Sainsburys are selling Apple/elderflower juice in 1.25 litre bottles so tonight i made 2 DJ's of Red Grape juice and Apple/elderflower juice wine (1 litre RGJ and 1.25 litres A&E), this is the first time i have used Apple/elderflower juice so i am looking forward to tasting it in 3 weeks.

I've also got a DJ of the same as you on the go Chippytea, 1 litre of red grape juice, 1.25 litres of Apple and Elderflower and the usual additives. Still bubbling away regularly after two weeks, My experiments with Kedem white grape juice and the Coppella Apple and Elderflower turned out very well, and the Coppella stuff always seems to be on offer in my local Sainsbury's, so I'll certainly be making more...

I made 5 gallons of red grape juice and apple juice wine on Friday, i didn't wrap the FV as the kitchen has warmed up a little, this morning it was still not bubbling (this is the first time it has not started in the first 24 hours) so i decided to rehydrate a couple of teaspoons of yeast as i only added 3 when i made it. (water temperature 30c - video says 96f )

Hi guys. Who long does your wows normally take to calm down ..I k ow it says 2 weeks at the start of this thread but my first wow (rgj plus orange and mango) has been in for 16 days and is still go at a rate of a bubble every 5 seconds.i had expected it to of chilled out a little by now. It's this normal ?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Its a bit slower this time of year as our houses are cooler, i normally leave mine for 3 weeks before racking to the second DJ then adding the stabiliser, campden and finings.

Does the top pulp sink when it's ready and finished? The reason I ask is I read on here that if you shake it up the top bit sinks. I did that 2 days ago and it all floated back up. It worried me as I'm nearly ready to transfer it to another dj. I left it for 2 days and went to move it today and it all sank to the bottom.
So what I'm asking is the floating/ sinking relevant to anything ?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I find with most of the ones i make it all sinks to the bottom, i have had ones like yours and the top layers never sinks, some will get into the syphon tube when racking but not enough to make it difficult to clear.

 

[yeastinfection]

Thanks. It's knowing what's normal and what's not.

I've just been to tesco and they do a white grape and peach .With a 50/50 split. So 2 bottles of that is like one wgj and one peach.
Trying that next :-)
