OK this is my second batch of pee. My first is still fermenting. For this batch I added a bottle of cranberry juice for a different flavor. I added a bag and a half of sugar. Yeast nutrient and 1 pack of 1118 . I gave it 24 hours then added 2 bottles of lemon juice. A week later nothing. I...

I have wondered how this would turn out as well. I want to do a watermelon cider blend.

Although my first batch of pee is not done I decided to try another batch to get ready for summer. I used 1118 yeast and added 2 litres of cranberry juice. I was wondering if anyone has added malt and/or hops to regular skeeter pee, sort of like a Graff?

The bucket is white so I can't see whats going on, but it has been fermenting this whole time. I looked for the bubbles. The temp has remained the same this whole time. Its not a big deal, I have just never encountered this Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Home Brew mobile app

So just a update. This batch is skeeter pee done in a leaky carboy so my airlock has no movement. At first there a crazy amount of krausen. It then went away and fermented normally. I just opened it up to take a look and there is more krausen! Why would it go away and come back? Does that mean...

I got a hand me down bucket carboy from a friend. There is zero Air movement in the airlock, but there is a large yeast cake on the top of the liquid. Can I assume its fermenting but there might be a small leak somewhere? Maybe I will do a gravity reading in a few days. Jon Sent from my...

I am running out of room in my carboy. I have two bottles of lemon juice in, is the third necessary? How strong is the lemon flavor with three bottles? Thanks Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Home Brew mobile app

I also had yeast enzyme. I wanted to get the yeast to start before adding the lemon. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Home Brew mobile app

I just made up my first batch of pee. I filled up the carboy with the sugar and water and added yeast and gave it 24 hours to get a head start . I just added the lemon juice (2 bottles). Can anyone tell me if I should ad another bottle? 3 bottles sounds like a lot If its needed I will have to...

I was having this conversation today actually. I have left it in the primary for over a month w no activity and I have left it in the secondary for months. I feel there is no real difference. it ages once it is in the bottles faster it seems.

I made a fall cider with nutmeg ginger and cinnamon. What I did was take a pot, boil water and ad spices. Boil for a few minutes and it will extract flavor and sterilize. Then I added it all to the primary and when its done rack to secondary. This is the first time doing it and I feel the ginger...

I am trying to make a hard lemonade from concentrated juice. I made the juice as normal, I added 1kg of malt, and sugar and yeast. It has been about 3 days and has not started to ferment at all. I have shook the carboy to give it some oxygen but no affect. I thought it might be too cold in...
