    Super yeast stalled

    Thanks Steve it was an experiment that I was messing with. I asked the guys at my local brew shop and they have never had that problem and could not figure out why. I'm going to stick to the right way of making apple cider and apple wine. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

    Dry Ice?

    It would fill the space with CO2 but the extreme cold could cause ice crystals to form in the wine. I'm not sure i want to subject my carboy to the fast temp change. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

    Super yeast stalled

    I tried liqueur quick super yeast and it stalled at day 5. I was going to use it to make apple pie moonshine. I was going to use apple juice concentrate because the ABV would be 20%. http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/f2/apple-pie-moonshine-2-better-one-41136/ It was just water (3 gal) and...

    Racking after adding sparkolloid

    When I'm making a strawberry I rack after the first week because a great deal of sediment has dropped out. Then I let it set for 2-3 weeks then rack again. It comes out clear after that. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

    Wife wants the freezer empty

    My wife asked me to do the same thing to the freezer about a week ago. We had frozen mangos so I decided to try the DB skeeter pee recipe but use the mango and cut down on the lemon juice. Let us know how yours turns out. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

    Vacuume question

    So I am going to degas with a break bleeder, but I have read that you should use under 20 inches of mercury or the alcohol will boil out. Then I read 29" or gas will not be released. Could someone please clear up the confusion and how long to keep it on to degas.

    Cheap homemade wine degasser

    I haven't tried it yet. As far as the pressure if you are trying to degas quick you would need it that high but if you keep it under pressure for an extended period of time say a few days it may work. I am going to see. And a break bleeder is my next investment but I haven't seen one that cheap...

    Cheap homemade wine degasser

    It is made from two bungs, tubing, check valve, and an air pump made to pull the air out of freezer bags. What do you think?

    Degassing wine with mentos

    Degassing wine with mentos

    It would be great to do as a prank. That or drop blue food coloring in when you buddy wasn't looking.

    Degassing wine with mentos

    I want to try it but I don't want to wast wine in a fountain.

    Degassing wine with mentos

    Have anyone ever thought of degassing wine with mentos. It is not a chemical reaction that causes it to degas coke. It is the small facets on the out side that cause CO2 to collect and release. So put it in for a few seconds then take it out. I am not asking anyone to try it but it would be...

    Is this normal?

    This is my first batch of db skeeter pee starting SG of 1.10. Added the yeast (ex-1118) yesterday and went to stir it today and found this. Is that normal? There is a mesh bag with the berries in it.
