Sorry to sound mean, but they have been in the fridge for two days and no clarification. As I mentioned in another post , I did everything correctly in the instructions. I was wondering if there some issues with the yeast. One thing that I did was put 1/4 Tsp. of yeast in the bottles. The wine that I fermented the longest still has a sour taste, and the alcohol content seems weak. I just bought a Hydrometer, and will use it next time. Again sorry to be insulting, just want it all to work right. I will update as the 2 bottles stay refrigerated, maybe thats all it needs.Thx.

UPDATE: After in the fridge for several days, the wine IS clarifiying, and very noticable alcohol. I've figured out with what fruit juices to stick with. I just opened a 10 day old Blend of Black Cherry/Apple juice wine I made and its very good. The wine that I selfishly said that "Tastes like crap" was a nectar blend of Grape,Pomegranate,Pear juices. Won't go there again.The Straight Apple Cider is now maturing very nice.
