They really seem too big. Is it really going to shrink that much? I'm applying quite a bit of pressure with the hand corker, but it feels like I'm going to break the bottle if I push any harder.

Okay... so I have fermented a few batches now and they are all successfully in secondary. I am attempting to make some "hard" iced tea at the moment. I used Tetley Infusions, which according to the ingredients, should ferment just fine. Maybe I am wrong? ingredients: raw cane sugar, white tea...

I think I want to make some beer... looked online for some hops, and there's so many different kinds, with different acid levels... do I want a low acid level or a high acid level? Is that what determines how bitter the beer turns out?

So I have too much chocolate from Halloween... I am going to try an experiment to see what sort of results I can get from a chocolate wine. I'm thinking I should melt the small (Aero) bars into a pot of sugar and water, with a bit of citrus to break down the sugar. Possibly add some cocoa powder...

So say I've just racked my skeeter pee, and there seemed to be too much stuff at the bottom to just throw away... can I use this to make another batch of skeeter pee, or something similar? If so, how many times can I do this? I'm guessing the taste will eventually get bad from reusing the same...

I didn't believe this promotion myself, until I got the deposit in my Party Poker account. If you don't already have a Party Poker account, you can get a free $50 deposit too. All you have to do is pass a poker quiz. If you already have a party poker account, there are a couple other sites to...

So I was reading about some of the pumpkin wines this morning, and got thinking... I had a can of pumpkin sitting in my cupboard that I was never going to make pie with. Maybe I'd try making a tiny batch of pumpkin wine... after all, I have a 1 Gal carboy and air lock, just sitting there. So...

So I just racked my first ever home made wine into secondary. I made it using chardonnay grapes, about 50lbs worth. I added 1tsp of potassium metabisulphite the day before pitching the yeast. I added several pounds of inverted sugar, enough to get it to SG 1.110 on my hydrometer. It sat at...

Could someone please tell me how to set this up so my pic shows with my posts?

So this morning I racked my first chardonnay grape wine into secondary. I had been planning a standard skeeter pee, but decided at the last minute to throw in a couple cans of cranberry sauce I had in my cupboard. So what is in it: 2 bottles (946ml) 100% lemon juice 16 cups sugar 2 cans...

Okay... so I am extremely new to the whole home brewing of anything... but am now over 24 hours into my first successful primary fermentation using juice from 50lbs of Chardonnay grapes. I have read about Skeeter Pee on their website, and would like to try a batch of that as well... why waste...

So I just finished pressing the juice from a ton of chardonnay grapes that I just picked. It is very late in the season to be picking them... would that be why the acid level was so high? Doing the test, my results showed me an acid level of 12g/L. The SG reading was 1040 which showed...

I have over 50lbs of Chardonnay grapes that I just got for free. After my failed attempt with grape juice, I am nervous about getting this right. Does anyone have an easy recipe or recommendations as to exactly what to do with these grapes?

Hello everyone... just introducing myself here, my name is Logan. I am completely new to wine making, and really don't know why I never got into it before. Anyways, I am here now, and happy to be part of your community here. Thanks to everyone for your help. :b

Okay, so I thought I did enough reading before trying to start my first batch of wine. I bought some used equipment, which I believe I sanitized properly. (10Gal bucket with lid for primary, Standard plastic carboy with airlock, hydrometer, and thermometer) I used 4 cans of Welches white...
