The wait continues...it appears fermentation is not finished. I have the feeling it may be several months more before this gets bottled.

Would a white grape frozen concentrate work well with the above recipe?

The recipe below has been fermenting for 6 weeks now...a few days ago I used Meta and Sorbate to stop the yeast and also added some isinglass to help with the clarity. Prior to the additions I pulled the sample for my FG reading...then poured it into a glass with some sugar for the wife. It...

You are going to love the plastic BIG boy....the only issues I have found with them are....do not leave the airlock in when you are moving it...it will suck whatever you have it loaded with back into the Carboy. Also...you really have to crank it down tight....I mean really tight to get a seal...

Hate to revive my old thread....but I had another glass carboy bottom blow off last week. Wife was not happy...and neither was I. Was very close to selling off everything I bought in January when I started brewing....thinking maybe these were signs that I should not be brewing. But then I...
