Thank you for your videos. My wife and myself have your pineapple and Strawberry wines in primary fermentor now. Our first time making wine. So far so good.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Ohhh I can't wait for you to taste it. Backsweeten it and will be incredible. Keep me posted. 👍

[@wadefield4360]

Another great wine making video,You're way of explaining is the Best!.Thank you for all the helpful tips.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Alllll thank you so much. ❤️ 👍🍷

[@dank6905]

Blueberry has been the favorite among my friends until I bought some Pomeganate-Plum juice at Aldies,now they all want this,and I agree it is really good.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Sounds amazing👍👍

[@anthellis]

I just bottled my first batch of pineapple. I did some quality control last night. 🤪 I’m taking some pineapple, and some blueberry mead to a Christmas party tonight. Thanks for all your help. I also just started some strawberry banana on the 2nd.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Awesome.

[@Paul-be5hy]

I really enjoy your videos and I have learned so much from you. Do you ever cold stabilize your wines?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Thanks for watching... cold Stabilize is too much work and need alot of space in fridge or freezer. But surely can be done.

[@TheRealdeel73]

wish there was a way I could taste all the wines you have made. especially these grapes and the award winning pineapple.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Lol.... yes that would be awesome... a wine tasting with howtodoneright... lol... now you got me thinking. 🍷🍷

[@hangles]

Hello! love your content and I am a subscriber. A question I am wondering about. why cant you back sweeten during racking to fill the carboy to the top and eliminate air space. thankyou!

[@HowToDoneRight]

That's going to add sugar and fermentation will start up again. You don't want to start that back up.

[@aadhiaddz1]

Would it be wrong to add the bentonite during the secondary?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Yes you can do that... but also will want to do before Bottling that is when it is most important.

[@quilz_tamay]

Would it be a good idea to add some sort of herb to the simple syrup when back sweetening? For instance I’m thinking of making a lavender simple syrup to pair with a citrusy wine.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Yes you can... just herb may make it cloudy. Extract may be better.

[@kiddeft]

Is the Star San Sanitizer totally safe to mix with the wine? I see bubbles that look like soap in the wine from the equipment.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Yes it is completely safe in its diluted form and must be used as a wet sanitizer.

[@FullDottle]

*Update* : My Mango wine finally cleared, the fermentation on bentonite wasn't the issue. The mango just takes longer even with the kill us all and cheeto sand. Although I loved your video, mango is simply a pain and my friends/family didn't really enjoy it as much.......so, no more mango wine for us. They are all asking me to make cherry wine now. Have you made cherry wine?

[@HowToDoneRight]

No i have not made cherry wine but alot have in this channel and love it. I don't have great access to cherries... you also must try pineapple and banana our favorites. 👍👍🍒🍒🍒

[@FullDottle]

Pineapple so far have been my family/friend's favorite! I have actually been using frozen fruits instead of fresh.......it's just more convenient. Thanks for all the help!

[@HowToDoneRight]

Can't beat pineapple. Some very close seconds strawberry banana and blueberry.

[@gailpetchenik3048]

I have some new air locks & they keep popping out. Is there a fix for this problem?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Some times they do... my best solution is to dry the bunge and inside neck of carboy and kind of twist in with tight seal.

[@PaulsGearReview]

i left mine in the fermenter for 2 months is that ok?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Depends if you Have little airspace in your bucket. It may taste like vinegar.. if was in carboy that will be just fine. 👍👍

[@smoore4427]

Me again.. lol… I see you added the Bentonite after the first racking into the carboys. I’m a little confused as to “how many times” you rack your wine from carboy to carboy, and at which time do you add the Bentonite. Sorry to be your biggest pest!!

[@HowToDoneRight]

Each wine will be different. Generally 2 to 3 rackings total. Last racking is for bentonite. Keep watching all my wine videos as I show you Each time. Good luck. 😀😀

[@Bhoxmine]

Ughhh….. I use Tito‘s vodka in my airlocks, and when I went to stir my bentonite this morning, I pushed on the airlock and a little bit of that vodka dripped into my carboy😩 Is that bad?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Heck noooo.. vodka can be used to fortify a wine strong alcohol like vodka will not hurt a thing.

[@Bhoxmine]

👍Thanks again!

[@Authenticallyher1]

Are you still using the other brand of refining agent? Or only for 30’day refining ?

[@Authenticallyher1]

Also do you add another round of Camden tablets prior to bottling

[@HowToDoneRight]

Oh yes.. part 3 coming next Friday. 👍👍

[@HowToDoneRight]

My preferred refining is bentonite. If in a hurry i will use liquor qwik... and sometimes both for a stubborn wine
