Thank you Yooper. About the wine recipes on that site how much will the make on the given recipe and what size carboy should I use for the secondary rack (the part that involves topping off with water). Also,I might not be able to get all the needed substances to make this due to lack of...

Okay,Ive looked through the forum and only found instructions for rasberry-chocolate port.My friend has a large and productive rasberry bush and wants to make rasberry wine.Is this a good idea and if so,does anyone have a recipe i can follow? If its not a good idea how about a rasberry type...

Ive been experimenting for awhile and just acquired a bung bucket,however the gasket on the bung is kinda slowly leaking (i tested it w/water first so ive lost nothing in terms of resources).Im wondering if greasing the threads with crisco would stop the leak? I got these myself and bored them...

Misread the original recipe.I thought it was one week,glad I caught that before taking the airlock off.Anyways though about the sugar and time necessary for carbonating?

Ok my cider is done fermenting,I wanna carbonate it and I have a 2 liter soda bottle available.How much sugar should I use and how long do I leave it out for after bottling and adding said sugar?

Thank you to both of you.(my reply is tardy due to comp failure)

One last question.Its a little different topic,a friend I was talking to wanted to know if i could brew some non-alchoholic stuff (rootbeer,gingerbeer).Does this forum have a place for that? I know I said last question but a new one just occurred,is it advisable to add sugar to the notty before...

One more question about the knotty cider,how much yeast do i use per gallon of juice?

Thank you for the explanation Brandon.I went to the liquor store down the way from my house and found out that its like the only place in the area that has a dedicated brewing section,so I lucked out on that one.Am I supposed to put a liquid in the s-locks bend to help keep the air out or is it...

I think the posting system might have an error my last post isn't showing up at all.... To summarize it I used the wrong words in my second post,I should have said "will not be fancy" instead of "will be poorer quality".I kinda goofed with my language.Sorry Anyways,I'm trying to make that...

I realized after reading your post that i had used the wrong words,instead of saying poor quality i should have said "will not be fancy".I'm sorry,my words don't always match up to the concept I'm trying to express. Now onto business,so to speak.And airlock is a device designed to allow the...

Why yes,I am actually somewhat interested in making mead and rice wines.This was mainly an experiment to see if it actually would work that way.I hafta warn you though I am on the poormans side of the equation.So whatever i make is probably going to be somewhat poor in quality. I am one of...

Okay i made a wine recipe i got off the internet.It basically goes like this, Get grape juice,add sugar till juice is cloudy,add yeast,leave in a container with a small(1-2mm)hole in the lid,leave like this till the CO2 bubbles stop rising to the surface,strain with a coffee filter,drink.I used...
