Do you think it will be safe to drink over 4 years later? Its been sitting on a dark shelf, still in the same bottles...

Im not a wine drinker, but I wanted to try this out. It's fairly sweet to me, I like it. I should really find out how the ABV is, but it doesn't burn too bad as it goes down.

Just "bottled" my first gallon last weekend. Started it Dec 1, 2012. I filtered it through coffee filters 3 times to remove any solids. Im not a wine drinker so Im not sure how this is. It tastes "hot" to me. I vacuum sealed the jars with a FoodSaver and Im going to let it sit a couple months now.

Just made up a batch of this today. This is only my 2nd time to brew an alcoholic beverage. I started a JAOM about 2 weeks ago that's bubbling away.

I think my yeasties are dead. 12 hours now and almost no foam on top and no activity in the air lock. :(

but...but...I wanna watch it. It's my first one!

Thanks for the welcomes! I may not be able to have a homebrew, but I have a keg of craft beer in the keezer from a local micro brewery. Im probably just over anxious. I keep watching the air lock looking for bubbles and Im not seeing any, but it's also in a plastic container so it could be...

Hi all, first post, first attempt at making any kind of home brew. I thought about making a 1 gallon batch of beer, but then I ran across this thread and decided this is mostly idiot proof. I followed the recipe except I had Fleschman's yeast, and now Im thinking I used the wrong kind of yeast...
