    PBW / Oxyclean residue in carboy

    So I used star San at the normal dilution and it doesn’t look any better. I am thinking to just rack into it. I used filtered NJ Tap water. Even filtered, it clouds my Star San right up though, so I use distilled when making sanitizer. And yes, exactly like water spots. If PBW and star San...

    PBW / Oxyclean residue in carboy

    Hello all, I left a high concentration of PBW mixture in my carboy overnight to try and get rid of some black streaks (assuming mold from 3 years of non-use). Worked well, but I now have that white haze on the inside of my carboy. I did a little research and tried to remove the haze with 2...

    normacorc corking issues

    What's your method for filling the tops? or do you dip the top and part of the neck in as well? Does this not affect the oxygen flow?

    normacorc corking issues

    Yep, they are the shorter ones, where do you purchase the longer ones and what are they called? So many types on the website. Thanks for your help with this issue.

    Dragon Blood in 15 days!!!

    I added bananas 3 days after pitching, and mine fermented down to .994 with no issues. You may want to add a tad more sugar if you aren't happy with the initial SG as well. From what I've read, adding sugar late will not hurt, unless too much is added. I'm assuming just to take the current...

    Synthetic Corks

    Portuguese Corker + Synthetic corks (preferably nomacorc) - What are the do's and don't with this process? water/dry? sanitize/out of the bag? any other hints? I read on some forum that it helps to pull the handle down until until the jaws grab the cork, and the top of the cork is flush with...

    normacorc corking issues

    nomacorc corking issues So I corked 57 bottles using synthetic nomacorc before reading about the known issues with using the Portuguese floor corker. I did a silly thing and had the corks sitting in water while bottling. Anyway I have had all 57 bottles laying on horizontally for 48 hours...

    Dragon Blood in 15 days!!!

    Thanks for the reassurance, making this wine is fun. Also, thank you for your service as a firefighter. I used 5 tsp of a blend of nutrient and energizer that my lhbs sells (instead of the two, i hope that didn't bugger it up). I think it's called superferment. One more thing, after...

    Dragon Blood in 15 days!!!

    I used 6 pounds of Wyman's triple berry, 1 pound of thawed - frozen strawberries, and 2 bananas (bananas added 2 days after yeast pitched). Oh almost forgot, The fruit was still semi frozen (or maybe just cold) when I added it to primary, but The temp was 74 when I pitched the yeast. Could...

    Dragon Blood in 15 days!!!

    Hm, mine is down to 1.040 from 1.090 but I'm not getting an awesome smell. Could it be that I just got a couple bags of bad fruit? Mine smells like yeasty old fruit, lol, can't think of another way to put it. maybe I'm squeezing the bag too much? How does everyone else's smell after a...

    Started First Batch (DB)

    Also, I'm immediately regretting not putting bananas in there after seeing that picture, is it too late since I already pitched the yeast? or can i just throw them in tomorrow when I pull the bag out?

    Started First Batch (DB)

    OO, I just started a batch today and mine was at 1.092 before I added the fruit... I don't really have much room to add water (it's already difficult to stir), what kind of complications will this give me?
