All grain all the way!

I wonder if the content of this message has any impact on our chances of winning. Maybe the longer messages will add more ink to the entry slip and the Tx will draw it for sure due to some sort of magnetism or some other unforeseen force of nature. Count me in! Sent from my DROIDX using Home...

Please beer gods let me win. :)

I am laughed at in my circles because I smell grapes with mine and that was only using lemon sugar water to make my starter. It is probably from the finings and it is very pleasant but still wasn't expected... I need to make the white grape peach wine!

I don't think anyone is active in this thread anymore. I was interested too. Let me know of you try it out, please.

I have been thinking about using the original door like that and just expanding the storage space. Like a keezer in a way

Awesome build! I read that some people install a small fan into their cooling chamber. Possibly to circulate air. is that necessary or you think you go out without if its a small enough chamber?

The only deviation is that my total volume is higher than 5 gallons and that I didn't make or use an existing yeast cake from a wine. I made a starter with inverted sugar and a small amount if lemon juice.

You could always try a small amount of food coloring. A few drops of red would do the trick. I don't think it would mess anything up.

Okay. First transfer into a sanitized carboy. It's slightly carbonated and still working actively. The gravity reading was about 1.012/1.014. My question is should it look like this at the two week mark or am I way off? I have followed the recipe as closely as possible. I haven't added finings...

We didn't do it. Call it lack of testicular fortitude or call it brewer's intuition, we just went with a slightly hoppier than normal American style wheat beer. Should be good but it does mean my to brew list just got a little longer.

I gotta find that! Love the name by the way. Are you going to Orion in Michigan this year to see Metallica? Saw them in Atlantic city last year. Awesome experience

Nice jugs! Where does one find jugs like that? I looked all over for some gallon glass jugs but I had to buy them empty.

Remember that the prescribed wait time before pitch is there to allow for preservatives to break down a bit too. The contact with the air will help make sure that they aren't full strength when you pitch in your yeast starter.

Did you invert the sugar and follow all other directions? It might start up in a day or two.

Well I have to admit it isn't quite done yet... I just started it about a week ago, but it is moving along quite well. Overall it's chewing up sugar and making alcohol. Last night's gravity was 1.033 down quite a bit from 1.072. I do have to say that there is a sweet Concord grape smell to my...
