Thanks for the welcome! I'm sure I have found a new hobby, I'm super excited to be cutting my teeth on these 1st few batches. I've always wanted to try my hand at wine and beer making, and luck was on my side when I came across all my equipment for cheap. Finally got into the game! While...

Boy there sure is alot to learn. Been doing alot of reading and this wine making can get quite in-depth. I'm guessing these wine kit instructions are to get the average home brewer drinking his product as soon as possible. Because these kits say about 37 +/- days till bottling and only...

Just wanna thank you for this post and and book mark it for further use this year; Will be putting our CrabApple trees to good use.

Well seeing as I'm a few beginner, on my first batch of wine from a kit, I have no other option but to scale up lol. My plan is just to lean as much as I can and see noticable improvements. I'm hoping to be able to produce quality drinks for myself, wife and friends and family. Nothing...

Again Ajmassa5983 thanks for the help and picking up on my armature mistake on reading the hydrometer. I'm super stoked. Down in the man cave as I type this racking up my 1st carboy! It's a good feeling. Once I have it racked up, I'll hookup my heating belt to the carboy and keep it at...

Sweet thanks for the advice and thanks to everyone else who has offered help and advice to me.... there is so much to learn with this new hobbie, the more I read the more I need to read more lol. This 1st batch went alot quicker than I had expected. Sanitized up my equipment after...

Welcome to the forums!

I have a question for you seasoned brewers...... Everything seems to be going rather well. The primary fermentation tank is bubbling away, and smells something delishish when I have popped the top open to observe. The instructions say in 5-7 days pull a sample and check my SG..... if...

I too have read that these kits can be a little sweet once the f pack is added. I have also read that some people add 1/4 of the f pack + 2lbs of sugar upfront in the primary fermentation step. Then come step 3 they add enough of the f pack to taste. I figure ill just follow the instructions...

Yes I have read people add about 2 lbs of sugar mixture to their primary fermentation tank to Increase the alcohol content. Read this after the fact and really wish I hàd done some more reading b4 I began this kit. Got a little to excited being my first introduction to brewing. On your...

Well we are on our 4th child and last this time lol. The two youngest are 2months and 1 year 3 months. And the older two older ones are 12 & 13. Both sets are 15months apart. We have plans to eventually move out west to the osoyoos area and hopefully be able to have our retirement house in a...

Hello neighbor to the west! Good to see other Canadians around this forum. We are new to wine making as well and hope to learn the ropes from this forum. We also hope to move out to B.C. 'Osoyoos' area once the two older kids are finished highshool. Still a couple years left on thst...

Used Tap-A-Talk as I frequent other forums using this app and it has never let me down. Looking forward to learning the ropes at this new hobby, and hopefully inns few months ill eventually branch off and try my had at beer making.

We measured our and marked our primary fermentation tank prior to beginning and made sure to double check all measurements twice so I know for sure we are at 23L exactly. Is there a way to lower the SG unfortunitly it's the long weekend and we are from a small town so there are no local wine...

Ya Thanks for the quick replay, it's nice to see other Canadians around the forums. I was hoping to get some experience with a kit and hopefully come fall we can venture off and use some ofnthe fruits (Raspberrys, Crab apples, Strawberries & Saskatoon Berrys we have growing around our...
