    Old Carboys

    I would try De-Solv-it. They have a regular version, and another version called Contractor's Solvent which is pure solvent. The latter is made to dissolve adhesives, caulk, silicone, and a bunch of other stuff. If that cant get it out, then maybe the stuff is etched into the glass and you...

    Making Traditional rice Wine. Cheap, Fun, and Different

    no what I was saying is that the reason you don't get much of a reaction from just the ryr alone is that there is not much left to be consumed by anything.

    pineapple wine

    Good Homebrew shop in Maryland?

    I've been to both Maryland homebrew and Annapolis homebrew, they are both friendly, but the prices and selection seem to be better in annapolis. They have a wider variety of sizes there. A 6.9 bucket in annapolis is about 11.99 and a 7.9 bucket in Columbia is like 17.85. Lids sold separately.

    specific gravity/brix level

    Hi I am making a pineapple wine that calls for 3lbs of pineapple and,about 4 cups/ 576g of sugar. I used about 2.75lbs pineapple but when I took the reading I was at about 1.070 and I'm supposed to be at 1.090. My question is since the pineapple has sugar in it how do we get that into the equation?

    making fruit wines

    I have the making wild wines book by John Peragine. The book calls for adding the fruit to a bag and allowing it to ferment like that in the primary. Is there anything wrong with blending the fruit and then adding it to the primary without the bag?
