Youngs----eBay has loads of youngs supplies.they are cheap and they ship to the US. I am intrigued,this seems like a lot of cider!any chance of some pics of your set up?

Lol,sooo my coffee wine is still going crazy

I mentioned earlier in the thread,I was going to try without honey.is that why it's going crazy??

Ok,300g coffee, 1kg sugar, half lemon,tannin,nutrient,gv5(low temp yeast).my reading was 1.085.

How long does this take from pitch to glass?how can wines vary so much?

Ok Maybe I am being stupid here. If at .9 I add **** loads or sugar the wine will not ferment more because the yeast can't tolerate more alcohol % and that's sweetening the wine??? (and I am drunk)

These threads should theoretically last as long as a batch takes to mature.how did this turn out?

I think this is a good idea as the filters can vary in size,and if there is a submersible pump I am sure it could be set up for wine.for racking only though as I think the must would be far to much for the sponges in a filter to take....go for it! (don't forget to post and show us your setup)

I have just started a 1 gallon batch,it's going crazy,why is it frothing so much?

Would it have to be made with honey,would a wine work?

Can I simply test acidity with those paper strip tests?ifso what is the acidity of grapes?

Good idea!post people post!!
