Not really, I flavored to taste. I split the skeeter pee batch in half and then used frozen juice concentrate. For cranberry lime I might have used about 2.5 cans of cranberry and 2/3rds can of lime aid. Both were warmed and added as liquid concentrate. I also made and added 2 cups of simple...

I flavored half of my first batch with cranberry and lime. It was good but very tart. So I flavored the second half with strawberry daiquiri and simple syrup of course. We didn't bottle. Instead I put it in a 3-gallon cooler and took it to a party. Over ice, it was a hit!

I had the same thing happen with this kit. Mine stuck in secondary at 1.01. I also hit it with energizer and nutrient and a brew belt, but it went nowhere. So I stabilized and it's clearing now.

I got the Lodi Ranch 11 Cab kit as a gift for Valentine's Day. I'm pretty new to winemaking. I started last Summer and have made only 6 kits to date. I pitched the yeast in the primary on Sunday afternoon. I've been locking down my primary, but I thought for the cab I'd just lay the lid on top...

New Too and Your Neighbor Hi Shelly, I'm from Bel Air and am also new to home brewing. But it's grabbed me pretty good with no signs of letting up. Since I started in September, I've made 4 wine kits (viognier, mezza luna red, australian chardonnay, and seville orange sangria) and 1 beer kit...
