Hmmm.... it looks like the most reasonable option is what buddy is suggesting, but if I could find the ingredients for mike's recipe, I would certainly like to try it!

I was reminded the other day of a root beer cooler that I used to drink back in university called "Joe Stiffs". It was a vodka based cooler. So I got to thinking... "How can I ferment some rootbeer into a delicious beverage?" I don't think that chucking some yeast into some flat root beer...

haha, yeah... we couldn't find the listing so we were resorting to alternate measures...

Chachi, Any chance you have a means of accurately measuring the inner diameter of the capper? A buddy of mine has access to a machining shop...

I think it has been decided then... kmeta it is! Thanks all

It's fresh juice that was pre-adjusted and yeasted etc... (Festa Juice) So basically I would be dumb to not use k-meta as it ages... what would be the main risk of not doing so? Any tips on oaking? Types, amounts, when to add, for how long, etc...?

Hey All, So noobish question here... I'm brewing a bucket of montepulciano, and it just finished fermenting so I racked it and topped it up. I plan on letting it age another 6 months or so before bottle aging for a couple of months (christmas gifts). I don't plan on backsweetening it...

I get what you're getting at... My dad used to call me Ryboflavin when I was a kid, so that's where the nickname came from

Thanks all! It started out as "Hey, instead of buying a bunch of bottles of wine for xmas gifts this year, lets make some wine instead." Luckily the wife agreed and here we are :)

Hey Everyone, I've been lurking around for a couple of weeks now, getting some solid info for my new hobby :) Right now, I have a Montepulciano Festa Juice Bucket brewing at a buddy's place, and a Pinot Grigio of the same brand brewing at home. I also just started a Pee brew on the weekend...
