    Airlock activity weak and the stall

    It is the first time I made this one. The Airlock activity was extremely weak and did not last. The seal is good, I am going to re pitch then. Thanks guys.

    Man, I love Apfelwein

    I made 10 gal and bottled, now six months + later it is kinda flat meaning almost no carbonation. How do I save it?

    Airlock activity weak and the stall

    I have brewed about 8 batches and every time had crazy airlock activity for +- 3 days but on my last batch the airlock activity was weak for one day and then nothing. It is an Amber Ale. Here is the recipe : http://www.brewapp.com/recipefiles/BREWER%27S%20RED%20-%205%20GAL.pdf It is at...

    Disappointed with my brew

    OK then, I am going to put it in the backroom and forget it for the next 3 months. Sucks because my first brew was a larger so that took forever. To get the pipeline going I thought this Belgian Ale would be nice only to learn it is now 3 to 6 months out. I am now on my 4th beer batch brewed and...

    Disappointed with my brew

    OK I gave it time but I am still not over the moon with it. It definitely kicks your ass after 2 bottles so the abv is there but the taste is not. If anyone wants a sample I will ship a few bottles for 'expert feedback' just pm me your address. This is the recipe...

    Man, I love Apfelwein

    Ok made my first two 5 GAL batches and I am as excited as a kid in an apfelwein store. I stuck 100% to the original recipe with zero deviation (other than the apple juice brand). My OG was just under 1.060, sound right? I used the Organic Apple Juice from BJ's.

    Help me score point with a dry cider

    OK I ordered two 6 gal better bottles and got 10 gal of 100% organic apple juice from BJ's and decided to stick with the Montrachet Wine Yeast and follow Edwort's recipe 110%. Thanks again guys!

    Help me score point with a dry cider

    Thanks for the help. I will check out Edwort's apfelwine with a cider yeast. This one? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f81/edworts-apfelwein-33986/ Also I see it comes in at 8.5% abv. Do I reduce the sugar to get it closer to 6% abv, say half the sugar? Cheers!

    Help me score point with a dry cider

    In a never ending attempt to keep SWMBO happy I promised to make her a apple cider drink as close as I could to a product she loves from the old country, South Africa. So se loves a Savanna. http://www.savanna.co.za/about All that I know is that it is a dry 100% apple cider of 6% abv. I have...

    Starter

    What is the DME / Water ratio for large starters? I recently did a lager and MrMalty called fr a 1.5L starter. I know you are trying to achieve 1.040 and normally that is 1qt.(1L) H2O to 1/2 cup of DME. Can I safely double, triple and so on and it will stay at 1.040?
