First brew in the new house. Going to brew 10g of blonde ale.

18,084+10 gallons= 18,094. Can't make enough of the stuff.

I didn't think about the cap. I apologize for the bogus reply. Listen to Yooper, she is an excellent wine maker. You can't go wrong with her advice.

You should be alright. Wine fermentation are not as vigorous as beer fermentation, because of the lack of proteins. But, I've never fermented whole fruit, so my answer could be wrong. Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in.

Well, it's an IPA. Don't know how long I would want to age it. The fresher it is, the better it is. IMHO.

Fill the keg with water first, makes it a lot easier.

Looks pretty good. I would use enough pilsner lme to get to about 1.049 sg. Then bitter with about 20 IBUs. Ferment at 60F. Lager for about a month. That's my simple recipe.

I average anywhere from 76%-80%.

I've used both, and never had a problem.

It sure won't hurt anything.

3429 + 5 = 3434
