Thanks for the help. I got up this mourning and it is bubbling away nicely. So at least I didn't mess that part up. Thanks again for the help much appreciated

Sorry in advance if this has been asked before, but I couldn't locate if it had been. Also sorry for asking a stupid question and for me being a full blown idiot. This is my first time making wine. I bought Orchard Breeze Blackberry Merlot kit. I made this yesterday and is now in the...

While I'm cleaning and sanitizing I play "Kiss This" just keep playing on repaet. Then transfer to "Some Beach" while I set up. Switch back to "kiss This" as my wife is usually pissed from the music on repeat and she hates country music. During the brew it is all Jimmy Buffet. By the end...

I used Saflager W 34/70

I just did a lagger and it carbed up nice. I did not add any extra yeast. it sat in my fermentation chamber at 54 F for 1 week than I raised temp to 59 for another week and it carbed just fine. It tastes good. I would post a pic but t is too early for a beer and I don't believe it abusing m...

I just want to say I Hate y'all. I was sitting here minding my own business reading posts on this forum to learn more since I am a noob and also retarded, and then someone has to start talking about drinking now I'm thirsty. So I am now drinking my first batch ever that brewed for 1 week, cold...

I feel your pain for the harshness of winter, its brutal. I had to put sunscreen on when I went to the beach yesterday the temp was 58* F BUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRR. Oh by the way that was the low for the day. I love the winter in the deep south summers suck. I would post pics but I was...

Dear Hot line Why did you feel it necessary to blend in with the field fence knowing I had to pee really bad. You electrocuted me and made my small but working thingy tingle and hurt like thing before. I would rather get kicked in the balls b a herd of elephants that that have that much...

This may have been covered already, if so, sorry in advance. Just my $.02 for those running their chambers in hot climates. Try putting a regular floor fan behind fridge to help remove excess heat. refrigerators are engineered to run with ambient air temps at 72 degrees, so when running above...
