I may be on page 93 for my entry, but heck yea! :)

Does over pitching lead to off-flavors?

Oh so as long as it is bubbling, it will produce the same results? I am sorry, but here goes a really stupid question. What if I only used half of this yeast packet, would the yeast die before it could eat all of the sugars? Would there be a bunch of sugar left over?

I have one more question. This yeast packet says it is good for 5 gallons. I have well over 5 gallons of juice here. Should I toss in another packet of yeast?

Oh thank you. I didn't know that was yeast! Oh then it must remain in there. Thank you. I thought it was pulp inflating and floating to the top.

It's strawberry and all of this stuff floated to the top after I pitched the yeast. It is really bubbling and I don't know if it will effect the fermentation if I get rid of all of this gunk that is on top. It is about a half inch thick. I have been stirring it down but this stuff seems to be...

Just some pics

So, the cuvee can tolerate a 17% abv. Are there yeasts that have a higher tolerance?

Okay, I understand what you are saying. It took a few minutes to understand LOL.

I started my wine out with a premier cuvee right. Then all of a sudden I realized it was only for a 5 gallon batch for that particular yeast packet. Anyway I added another yeast packet to be sure because I didn't know what the heck to do because I started out with 6 gallons. So my question is...

Well, they are not reused caps. I accidentally ordered plastic tops from Austin Homebrew that didn't fit my threaded wine bottles, but they do fit the 32 ounce beer bottles that you see from the convenience stores. Them big assed bottles! I am just concerned about the plastic screw caps...

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has/had experience with using them 32 oz. beer bottles for bottling wine? I have screw caps that fit those bottles but I am not sure if it is a good idea or not? Any advice would be most gracious. Thanks.

I always look for excuses to talk about Han Solo. So no worries! Oh and BARF diet is Prolly why our old man lived so long anyway. That and he wasnt exposed to disease and such. Dogs live raw meat and bones. :))

That looks like pulpish dense stuff hun. I get that even with fresh strained fruits. Then again I am only on my 7th batch ever. Personally I would have just punched it down :-)
