    Caramel apple Cyser

    IT's still clearing. Almost there. Still bulk aging, and racking every 3 to 4 months. I should be bottling in a month or so.

    Help with a wine cellar

    I would say that you should consider ability to set and maintain temperature, storage space/racks as compared to storage vs. production. if you are thinking of starting a business of it.... The production facility, and storage facility would be equally important. Fermentation temps, yeast...

    Wine Making Equipment - Southeast PA

    I wish I was closer.. That is the whole Brew kitchen I've been looking for to finish in my basement. at $750, someone will get a steal. I have almost that in the little bit I have.. That sink is worth $500 on it's own, and 16 carboys is another $500.. I'm suprised it all isn't gone yet.. If I...

    Vintner's Best Blueberry concentrate

    Just needed to consider yeast strain before I pitched for the next batch. Then all I needed was to ensure the batch had nutrients and energizer, to keep the yeast I had chose for this batch. it is chugging away right now. The yeast fart smell is gone, and the SG is dropping. It should be...

I added 2 tsp of energizer ( it say 1/2 tsp per gallon) stirred the crap out of it.. This stuff tastes great.. I taste after I hydrometer. The...

    Vintner's Best Blueberry concentrate

    So, yep. I've been here a year, but I'm still a noob.. I was at the supply store a week or so ago, and thought this concentrate might be good, and I've never done one of these. So, the $31.95 purchase was on. I read the entire instructions. I did it just as the instructions said. Sure enough...

    First batch of the 2017

    Jericurl, My question is about the oak powder in the primary. Does the fall out of the lees, pull the oak with it? and what kind of effects could I expect from Oak chips in the secondary.. Say an oz of medium American (vs French)... Anyway. I would be very appreciative of any knowledge you can give.

    Berry mead, and a question about starting SG

    Thanks for the Thread. I'm watching because I'm thinking about a Berry Blend Mead.. And doing the same thing, with the high SG. I also, and thinking of trying a Mead, with a low starting SG 1.050 -1.060.. Should be fast, to make and drink.. I could carbonate it and run it like Beer, with a...

    Caramel apple Cyser

    Thank you for the tip. it didn't lose any flavor or or aromatics. Initially during the boil, anyway. I will see as the ferment, and aging continues.
