My first batch is welches white grape and raspberry. We tryed it last night with roasted vegetables, lemon fettuccine alfredo, a green salad and bread ummmm good and the wine was good too. Thanks to all for advice given. :br

You mentioned your first batch of beer is doing better. Have you read the book Joy of home brewing by Charlie Papazizn? He has a great saying: "relax, don't worry, have a home brew." On some of my first home brews (beer) I was not very patient and bottled a little to soon. The beer had...

I use a charcoal water filter to remove the chlorine. I have brewed with both hard and soft water and can not tell the difference in my finished beer. basicaly I'm lazy, it is easier to get water 10 feet from the kettle than to pack it down a flight of stairs. :D

Thanks, I'll use 1/2 tsp.

well, sounds like trying SP with fresh lemons might not be a good idea for a beginer. But I think I'll make some from recipes with the juice. Sounds good.

Stuart, my first batch is also in the fermenter. What is SP?

Hum....Paint bucket or 3 gallon batches?? :D

Julie, that helps a bunch now I won't go nuts searching. What are you using for a primary fermenter for a 1 gallon batch. My smallest bucket is 5 gallons and my smallest carboy is also 5 gallons. I'll be getting some gallon jugs for racking. Haven't priced the jugs at the brew shop yet but...

Thats good to hear. I'll reserve judment for another 90 days. :h:h

Thanks Julie. I'll do some searching to see how to make an f-pac.
