Hey everyone, first time making wine, and I made...lots of mistakes? I was making blueberry wine, made a small 1 gallon batch using 6pints of blueberries, 2.5 cups of sugar, and ec-118 yeast(something like that, lost the package). Anyways, problem one was I accidently pithed the yeast at 60...

well thats rather dissapointing! guess i still gotta wait, but i'd rather keg then bottle. so lets say after it ages and carbonates, was i correct about purging the tank then setting it to 3.5psi to use then beer gun? and was my 1-6process sorta correct

hey guys, new homebrewer here. havnt even really started yet im just trying to get all information before i start up my first batch. ive been doing research and realized im to impatient for the beer to carbonate in bottles...thats just to tempting and such a tease. And from what i understand...

Meaning it's still going to take the same amount of time for the beer to be ready to drink? Also could I keg without a co2 tank? Just put some dextrose in there and it will carbonte it self?

is this an easy process for a beginner?

just wondering if kegging reduces the time needed to bottle, since your forcing the carbonation. and also is it possible to bottle the beer after being kegged?

yea i was looking for homebrew-supplies.ca but there starter kit just sucks in my opinion. all the ones from the states come with so much more equipment!

you can try out homebrew-supplies.ca, or ive even read that you can get it from austin brew and ask for usps. shipping takes longer but it is cheaper
