  I cut a hole in my lid using a utility knife, then inserted a carboy bung with a carboy airlock
  into the hole. Simple, cheap.

  Ok, I'll take your word. I put your numbers for OG and final G into a calculator, and the
  strongest case scenario was around 15%, but that's assuming that you start off at your max
  gravity and it goes...

  Another Q. Would it be acceptable to knock down the sugar a little in this to make a wine
  that's 11-12% instead of 15% which your numbers seem to come out around? What's your opinion on
  that? :)

  So when you say "sugar", do you recommend white sucrose (table sugar) or something like
  dextrose? I've got my rhubarb in the freezer to start this on the weekend.

  So spring has sprung here in Nova Scotia and with it, the dandelions are back. I was
  considering making a dandelion wine, and I've found a few recipes on the intertubes. This one
  in particular struck ...

  Yeah, I added some yeast nutrient at outset, and again after about 1/3 ferment. I put in some
  "energizer" last week in an attempt to get it up and running again. I'm not too worried about
  the ABV, 12 ...

  Ah, I thought it was a 3 gallon batch, and even so, my math was wrong. :o But I think you'll be
  close to 18% ABV. What was your OG/FG? That'll tell you for sure. Regards, GF.I actually added
  the honey...

  Ya, cidars don't have much of a yeast cake because there isn't much else besides the yeast to
  fall outThat depends on if you start with straight juice, or if you use sweet cider. Around

  6lbs per gallon is going to put your ABV over 18%... .18lbs in a 23L batch. 3 gal was cider,
  but 3 gal was water. Should I have hit 18% on only 3lb/gal + cider sugar?
