So here's an update...l Im 99.9% sure what I saw on top of my stout was mold. So I decided to rack into a new carboy. I did this a few days ago and so far no mold... Nothing. So I deem this to be a success. I'm a few days out from having an empty keg so I'm not to worried about not having much...

Bump

gravity was 1.020 when I transferred to secondary. and it's likely dropped a bit since.

Alright, thanks! Is there any danger to having them too long? Perhaps 8'? That way I could shorten till I get best results. And as for the aquarium pump.... I am using an aquarium pump meant to pump air into an aquarium using a pump and vinyl tube. Me setup has the pump at the bottom on the...

so... first time making wine from a kit. I'm a beer guy And new to all of this. my wine has been fermenting for about 3 days now and it smells very yeasty. hard to describe. is this normal?

My wife has taken to a bottled wine spritzer My question is.... Could I make a batch of white wine, put it into my keg, carbonate it to a desired level and bottle the entire batch for her???? Thanks

Also, I just realized I don't have any more air locks for my carboys!!! After racking it onto Camden tablets can I just cover with syranwrap? Considering there should be no c02 action? Also I don't have any cam den tablets will just potassium meta sulfite be enough?

Alright, Down to 1.012 SG So... I'm going to rack her onto Camden tablets. Question. How long after bottling it (still, and into wine bottles) is it good to drink and share? Thanks all!!! Spencer

I actually have some left over crabapple juice that my wife has given me (left overs from making jelly!!!) What she did to make the juice was to boil the apples until they could be mashed. She then mashed them and put on cheesecloth to drain the juice. she would then take the juice, boil it...
