yeast taste in ribena wine

[jclowes]

I had the first taste of my ribena wine last night, its been fermenting for about two months and racked twice, the second time there was quite a bit of sediment in the bottom of the FV.

the wine had quite a harsh taste of yeast, will this taste go away with time and more racking?

I was hoping not to use finnings but would they take the taste away?

or have i spoilt the wine by letting to much sediment build up

thanks

i have had this a few time too. i now just rack off and off and off until after another month of settling there is nothing left at the bottom.

of course you could add a load extra sugar so all you can taste is the methanol...

so are you saying that I am Stuck with this yeast taste?

have you bottled it? if so you might be able to very carefully keep it up right, then pour it without makeing the yeast swirl up in the bottle. ortherwise leave it in the dj for a while longer and let more fall out. or save it till your already blocked then you wont notice/care anymore!

Me & my GF have made this. I don't recall a yeasty taste, but the first lot we made (from CJJ Berry's recipe) was very sweet even though we used less sugar than the recipe stated. It was also rather 'thick' like a pudding wine (we haven't tried any cold yet though). I can't remember how many times it was racked, but it was a nice rose colour. We've currently got some more on with even less sugar than the recipe stated, a Strawberry Ribena wine and a Vimto and Ribena wine on the go. What recipe do you guys use?
