I did not open the primary but did get around to racking it tonight. It smelled a little odd. We'll see how it turns out

I bought a 28 day Merlot Cabernet kit wine. It was supposed to be in the primary for one week. Life got in the way and it has been 5 or 6 weeks now. Will this present any problems or can I just rack to the 2ndary fermenter now?

It finished sweet. I still stabilized before bottling just to be sure.

After all is said and done on this recipe, it made a sugary sweet wine that isnt getting many takers. I just paid 50 bucks for a cabernet merlot kit from amazon and will try that next.

I'd like to make my wine is cheap as possible. Does anyone know a good source for free fruit? I looked at pick your own places. They are just as expensive as the store.

Its bubbling nicely today without even having aerated it. Doing as well as my banana wine from two days before.

Thats right. Is that bad?

I added the lemon juice to my boil but I didnt really mix it up in the carboy. I did get a bubble through the airlock this afternoon. SO FINGERS ARR CROSSED

Made a batch yesterday on top of my yeast cake from a welch's wine. This morning there were no bubbles coming from the airlock. I pitched some yeast so hopefully it will start up today. The RealLemon juice had preservatives, but I added yeast nutrient and energizer.

Suggestion for Mr. Beer... make the LBK the ideal size for brewing with 3 pound bag of DME. That seems to be a standard size for buying DME. This way, no measurement is needed. It will keep using the kit for small batches and may increase kit sales. I used too much DME and I think thats why my...

The Mr. BEER lid blew off this morning. I heard hissing coming from the cabinet. Touched the lid and POP. It flew off. Last night I brewed a batch of all wheat DME with hops and Muntons Ale Yeast. I used 3 pounds of DME for a 2.5 gallon batch. Starting temp was a little high and there was lots...

It was a water bottle. So I didnt think it would be a problem. If someone else thinks I made an error, I will dump it ASAP

I have seen this listing on eBay multiple times and wondered if this would be a good alternative to a glass carboy. does anyone have an opinion? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=320775149940

I've got some Beech-Nut Homestyle Baby Cereal, Single Grain Oatmeal lying around from my youngest son who doesn't eat it anymore. Can I throw this into my next batch of homebrew? Ingredients Oat Flour, Sunflower Lecithin.

After I rack my apfelwein can I just pour sugar and juice over the lees for another batch ? Should I pour some lees off? I plan to use pasteurized apple juice and dissolve sugar by boiling it. I will add raisins as nutrient. Has anyone done this?

Is there a beer I can brew in my garage with temps between 50 and 60 degrees. Could drop even lower.

How would I know if its infected?

I have some wheat dry malt extract. If I want to boost alcohol 1% how much should I add?

Can residual wine juice from a commercial wine stop fermentation? I just loaded a gallon of apple juice into a Carlos de Rossi Rhine wine jug. I added a package of wine yeast and a cup of sugar. After I was done I realized there might be some type of additive in the commercial wine that would...
