Just sounds to me like your yeastie-beasties were extra hungry. I would keep ALL rackings just for a culture that made 18% first time around. Good Job Each time a person stands for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he or she sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Few are willing to embrace the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.

Quoting: Hitndahedfred Just sounds to me like your yeastie-beasties were extra hungry. I would keep ALL rackings just for a culture that made 18% first time around. Good Job I added the sweetner and yeast killer bottle that the DIY booze store sells, not sure what it is called. Like I said, it knocked me on my ass, a very INTENSE high feeling almost, VERY strange. Tequila, everclear, etc., has never done that to me with one drink... |

The higher alcohol content kills the yeast. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25327582 Yes. I am just trying to figure out how one small glass induced an intense high feeling, like nothing I have felt before? It tasted good, so I know it was not due to bad wine. I did not use that much sulphides, kept them down as I know some are allergic. Strange thing is, I had a bottle after corking it a year ago, and nothing. My sig other even had a little an noticed the massive euphoric feeling... thoughts??? |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 3558872 United States 11/08/2012 07:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That would be the equivalent to a port wine wine there op.Normal alcohol level should be around 8-12% with wine kits if that is what you used Quoting: Joeylamb Sorry, not sure what a "port wine" is? Is that basically du to the high ALC%? Would that cause a Euphoric feeling? Like I said, I have drank tequila etc with higher ALC% and never felt anything quite like this... |
