Has anyone ever used a cheaper generic probe for replacements for these? I see ones for 10-25$ CAD on the interweb. Mine is still fine but just curious.

My latest find. Like new $200 CAD!

The last few years we started making wine from fresh grapes, now exclusively home grown grapes. I leave the wine in bulk for a year, racking 3-4 times. Today is 3rd racking day and I am curious who here would add finings at this stage? Who would polish with a filter just before bottling...

Brewed this bitter recently. Enjoy the recipe, I know it really like this Ale!

This is an easy drinking Lager style that I fermented at a little warmer temp than usual to get more of a Steam Beer taste (60 f) The grains and Hops are more of a German Style though. Dry hopping creates some great aroma and flavors! Very light, well balanced and easy to drink!

I was able to get to mine about one week ago. Only the second yr of growth coming up so it was pretty easy.

Made a All grain Steam beer today. Any comment, input or suggestions are appreciated! Used: Pilsen, munich and crystal malts. Perle, hallertau and tettnager hops. I use a Hybrid BIAB (brew in a bag) and cooler mash tun method. (cause it's cheap and efficient!) Measuring out grain...

Went to a local micro brewery to buy base grains today. I have a hard time finding malt anywhere close to where I live and shipping is uber expensive so I asked the brew master if I could buy some specialty malts and hops from them. He preceded to dish me out 3 lbs of various hops and 18...

Anyone make this kit before? How is it? I started one for my wife today. Bumped the SG up to 1.070 by adding sugar (and 1 cup of the f-pak).

I'm doing a Fosh (fresh grapes), Blackberry and Sangiovese juice bucket. 50PPM KMETA added at crush All three have been topped up in Carboys since SG 1.00 All three were racked off gross lees 24-48 hrs after press and had MLB (Viniflora Oenos) and Leucofood added at that time. If has now been...

For those wishing to successfully reduce a lot of TA in high acid grape wines please read on: Oct 2 This year I obtained some local Foch grapes. We had a great summer but unfortunately it rained 3 weeks in sept. In early October the grapes were picked as the rain wasn't letting up. At...

Got a nice little gram scale off E-BAY for $13 No more teaspoon measurements for me now! The only thing is, I forgot to select the one that does from 0.01-200g Instead I got 0.1-2000g:d

Has anyone done this?:a1 My plan so far: -water back slightly (for PH/acid reduction) -use Lalvin 71B-1122, pectic enzime ect... -Use full fruit in mesh bags during ferment (previously frozen) -use a bunch of pressed skins like a 2nd run (I'm fermenting grapes just before) *I like my...
