I just finished Ed Worts Apfelwein and it needed (IMHO) to be sweeter. I was told to use Splenda since it won't ferment out and become dry again. I used 2 cups of Splenda per 5 gallons. As I added it it foamed up like a beer with great head! I tasted grest that night. As I put the Airlock back...

I was looking on some sites and checking out Conical Fermentors. What is the advantage of this vs the standard bucket. Also I noticed that there is a ball valve on the bottom of the cone. I would assume this is for the trub. Is that the advantage, to remove the trub for yeast harvesting? George

I brewed an Orange Hefe this weekend. I airated and pitched the yeast at 71 deg but 12 hrs later it has no noticable fermentation. I used WL300 without a starter. In the primary I added 6 oranges sliced up. Would the acid from the oranges delay the yeast from starting? g

Today I "brewed" my first Apfelwine. I used Cot De Blanc yeast. On the packey it said to rehydrate with 100 deg -105 deg water. Past experience has told me that a temp that high will kill the yeasties. But I followed the directions. Am I good or should I get another pack and pitch dry?

What the he!! is a "Herf" you ask? If any of you guys and gals smoke cigars you probably been to one or a few. This fall with the sponsorship of Cigarette City I am putting together The Summers End Herf. Lots of food, free beer (commercial brew, sorry guys), Thousands of dollars in raffles, and...

OK so I know that I opened the bottle too soon and it didn't have time to carbonate yet but the suspense is killing me. The problem is 1) I brewed a Witbeer for the first time and it was as dark as a Yuengling Lager and 2) it had a nasty "sour" taste. Not like a lemon but like it was left out...
