Hey bushpolit I'm thinking about using erythritol for my cider too. It's been years, since I homebrewed so I'm a little rusty. I have a dog that I love so much, so I don't want to risk using Xylitol. I've fermented dry, dry hopped with 1 oz Citra for 5 days, & I've let it age for about a month...

I guess it depends on what you are using the sugar for. If you are using the dextrose for fermentation then yeah dextrose would be a great substitute for invert sugar. If you are using invert sugar for back sweetening then I definitely use invert sugar, which I recommend. The fructose is much...

Leave copper in the pee? I haven't heard of this. What is it suppose to do? I understand the need to stir the pee and if copper is what you got to stir with then yeah it should be ok. I had to use a copper coat hanger myself and my wort chiller is copper for my beer, but it is true that if...

@klcramer, Yes I have used that exact recipe. I would recommend using 4 32 ounce bottles of lemon juice and back sweetening with 6 cups invert sugar instead of just regular table sugar. I even used 32 ounce of cranberry Juice(pure) to make more of a pink lemonade. I am going to try maybe...

Thanks for the replies. A lot of interesting information. I think what it comes down to is how to carbonate and back sweeten? I know a lot of champagnes I have had have been sweet. I know that you can carbonate like we do with beer and use priming sugar after fermentation or you can force...

I found cranberry juice almost as tart as the lemon juice. Mix lemon and cranberry to make Pink Lemonade. It will be a while until I make another batch, but I am going to add more cranberry next time. Make sure you get straight cranberry and not a blend. I tested both and imo straight cranberry...

If you added sorbate you will not have to worry about refermentation. I recommend using 6 cups invert sugar. Fructose is much more sweeter than sucrose/table sugar. It covers up the alcohol dangerously good Sent from my HTC One using Home Brew mobile app

1. Is Champagne merrily carbonated wine? 2. I know real champagne comes from Champagne France, so technically everything outside of that region is sparkling wine? 3. I haven't seen anything about making it on any of the homebrew stores. Can it be made by home brewers? Where would I...

Yeah I used a starter as well. I don't think I ever seen that much activity. Sent from my HTC One using Home Brew mobile app

Just an update my pee tastes much better although I added a 32 oz of cranberry juice to make pink lemonade. It already tastes good and I haven't even back sweetened yet. I will take a gravity reading tomorrow. Btw where did you get those nice 1 gallon jugs? Sent from my HTC One using Home Brew...

So is it normal for Skeeter Pee to taste like lemon wine? I was under the impression this was more like lemonade with a kick to it. I followed the directions and had to extract half a gallon before clearing. So I thought I would do a test to see how much table sugar to add, so added 1/2 cup...
