alanmin4304 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 If you use wine yeast and yeast nutrient along with a heat pad (all available from the home brew shops) you will find that the CO2 production is greater and and lasts a lot longer. Wine yeasts will ferment in much greater concentrations of alcohol than beer or bakers yeasts. In addition 2.5lbs of sugar to the gallon and some fruit will give you a medium wine when finished. Yeasts multiply in the presence of air and produce equal volumes of ethanol and CO2 when air is excluded. The trick therefore is to make up a solution of yeast with sugar and nutrient , keep it warm and aerated ,allow it to multiply than add it to the main airlocked jar. Dacron in the top of the bottle will keep out the foreign creebies while it multiplies. Try not to drink all the wine at once and fruit wines generally need to be left for at least 2 years to be any good. Win/win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 The bucket of warm water trick worked! :bounce: I've left the lights on just to compensate for the increased CO2.

alanmin4304 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yes. I used to waste the CO2 though. I am sure you could find an older family member to take over the disposal of leftovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
