I've been having trouble getting my skeeter pee to clear. I started it before Christmas with RealLemon. Didn't clear after the addition of Sparkolloid, beginning of Feb I figured I'd give it another shot of Sparkolloid. I'm not sure if that was a wiser decision or not, but it didn't seem to do...

So I was down at the brew shop today. I figured I'd stop in to see if there was anything interesting to add to my collections of tools after having read some more on the forums here. I picked up an acid testing kit, and a bottle brush. I also pickedup a couple packs of shrinking bottle seals...

I mad eup a batch of yest starter last night to add to my lemonade to start a batch of skeeter pee. At 4 hours the starter was bubbling slightly starting to take on a bit of a foam. I figured I would leave it out overnight, and add it this morning the the must, which would have been 48 hours...

I just bottled up my first batch from this srping,and was reading that I need to keep wettingmy corks. How often does this take place? Are there other options for keeping the seal? DO you just rub a little water over the corks? set them upright a let some water lay in the space above the cork...

Just splash racked my dandelion a second time, there was still a faint scent of rotten egg in it after the last racking. Anyways, in a rush I made the mistake of using my syphon without having cleaned it from the last racking. So it's been sitting there a week without cleaning. I'm a little...

So I just re-rackedmy dandelionwine as was outlined by my recipe as closely as i could manage. I had toleaveit for 10 day slonger before re-racking due to working ont he road and no being hoem to take care of things. Wow what a smell! It doesn't seem to have soured or anything, but the smell is...

I made a batch which was supposed to work out to 5 gallons. After the SG reaching 1.04 as recommended by my recipe I syphoned the wine off the sediment into my secondary, however the carboy is not full. it looks as though I'm roughly 1/2 a gallon off from full. The level comesup to about an inch...
