    Airlock for wine bottle

    I have several different smaller vessels that I use for brewing and wine making. Seems I can't always find the correct stopper. And I have plenty. I recently did a wine that had a bit too much for the secondary. I've had this issue with beer before. I know you don't always need a secondary but...

    Mango Wine attempt

    I perused the massive mango wine from pulp thread. I decided to roll the dice on this recipe that is a hybrid of different sources. One gallon of mango wine is the hoped for result. If anyone can add anything I'm open to suggestions. Aldi's sells one pound packages of frozen mango flesh...

    eHerms lid brewday steps

    I didn't want to hijack the other thread about an EHerms lid so I started a new one. GotPushRod made a great case for a two vessel non-RIMS system. That's in my budget for an electric basement brewery. Two new pots and only one controller, I like it, and Ive been thinking that way. So...

    Bad Spring Water?

    I moved across country, took on a new job and and haven't really had time for beer and wine making. Yes,I need to get my priorities in the correct alignment. But that's not my question or the basis for this post. I bought some "Vintners Best" Black Currant fruit wine base. It says to add 4...

    Gelatin effect on bottling

    I already cold crash and am generally happy with the appearance of my beers. They are fairly clear just not bright. Yes I know it really doesn't matter. I am considering trying out some gelatin and am wondering if it will slow down the bottle carbing? Does sufficient yeast remain, do I just...

    Im learning, maybe

    Brewed my 6th 5 gallon batch yesterday. First all grain. looking for help, support, or kudos but I don't have any real specific questions, yet. I can say that I spent too much time trying to find a cheap way to move the wort from the cooler to the brewpot in the mash and lautering stage...

    Color way off, 5th brew

    So I just brewed my fifth brew. All Extract with steeping grains, recipes from local shop or internet but no online retailer kits. Brew shop sells LME in Light, Pilsner, Munich and Dark from bulk barrels. I was trying to make a blond ale but my blonde is a more like a brunette. The...

    Oregon Newbie

    I've been drinking beer a long time. 15 years ago I moved to Oregon from the Midwest. Here I found beer. I went through stages of Mirror Pond, all the Widmer products, the local brews and especially any IPA, the bigger the hoppier the better. Really fell in love with some of the ryes I tasted...
