  Guess maybe I'm just a bit out of the loop here but what exactly is the problem with using an
  actual screw top? Why not just screw the lid back on and call it a day?

  Heh I'll just mix it in with a martini. Extra virgin olive alcohol. I have no idea what my temp
  was, it was room temp so close to 70 I presume? Only fermented for 5 days then cold crash for
  2-3 days, ...

  So I made some cider about a week ago or perhaps it is an apple wine now? Regardless it tastes
  faintly of olives no apple taste whatsoever. Should this taste mellow in time? I hear this is
  due to alde...

  I agree that ace's pumpkin is amazing. Been drinking woodchuck recently and that doesn't even

  I'm assuming its the tannins or something else because the alcohol content on my first wine was
  only a 6% more like a grape beer haha and I only consumed a pint glass or less. Maybe I'll
  supplement wi...

  Anyone know what gives you headaches from homemade wine. I only used commercial juice and yeast
  nothing else, no Campden or anything like that. Everytime I drink it, the next morning my head

  Looks like me and you are both newbies to this, I just started my first batch about a week ago

• Posted in thread: Cider done fermenting in 5 days. on 10-16-2012 at 08:50 PM
  I think it was a FG of 10. I have a triple scale and I pretty much only look at the abv part.
  Started at 8.5 PABV now down to 1. So it should be 7.5 abv right? Some were a bit higher some a

  I started 4 batches 5 days ago, took readings before and after and now they're all at about
