What is the best practical way to make a flower petal wine? It has rained, so they are freshly “rinsed”. I’m thinking about making a tea, cooling, adding Campden tabs, the next day, sugar and yeast.

I have an allinonewinepump with degassing wand and headspace eliminator. I have 2 carboys of country wine. I have racked/degassed 4 or 5 times. It’s only been about 4 months. It still has plenty of co2. I degassed twice again today. Approximately how long till it is degassed? It is clear, not...

This is a recipe from homebrewtalk.com . My favorite mead, or at least right up there. Jack's Apricot Vanilla Mead This is a really simple, but delicious Mead I came up with a couple of months ago. It's pretty drinkable right after it clears, and makes a great dessert style wine. Here's the...

I'm thinking about moving to Wenatchee in a year or so. Is there any local home brew stores around?

The guy who owns a local eyewear store. He mentioned he used to make vinegar. I bought him a bottle of DB. He said he wanted me to show him how to make wine... so this morning I thaw out 12# of 3 berry mix. We go step by step through the recipe. He had some strange ideas about how things work...

I bought a bottle of Pinot Grigio (Kirkland brand). I thought it a little thin and bland. Maybe that's what it's supposed to taste like. Any way, I am eating a bowl of mango sherbet and thought about making wine float. Good idea or not? :-) Tom

I've been brewing beer for 3 almost 4 years. I know how to read my hydrometer. I made a DB blueberry/cranberry. I know I got a wee bit impatient and racked to carboy at 1.000. I didn't add anything, just wanted to rack off the fruit and lees. I figured it might go ahead and drop a few more...

Like the title says, I love my bread yeast. I just bottled 2 gallons of cranberry mead. There is a craft meadery back east somewhere... that does craft mead. I took their idea and tried a session mead. I was partly successful. It ended up 9%. I was shooting for 7-8%, maybe even 6. Next time...

I stop by the landfill on my way home several times a week looking for 4 liter jugs. Not much success on the 4 liters. A number of 1/2 and 3/4 gallon juice bottles. And 750s, 1.5 liter bottles. I get home tonight with a dozen or so bottles. With the bottles already in the basement I have more...

A friends mom and dad have bees. A few years ago, while dad was spinning the honey, he got crazy with a garden hose... Some water got in the honey. They bottled it up. It fermented a little. It is runny for honey. I have a 3.9# in a gallon jug with bread yeast. OG is 1.130. I have about 1...

Oh yeah, you've suckered me in. Not that it took much. I've been brewing beer for about 3 years. I also like cider and mead. My wife is the one who likes wine. I've made a few kit wines. I've only made 1 wine from fresh fruit. It was a pear wine that after a year or so is a vinegar. It...
