    Best way to backsweeten this wine

    The wait continues...it appears fermentation is not finished. I have the feeling it may be several months more before this gets bottled.

    Best way to backsweeten this wine

    Would a white grape frozen concentrate work well with the above recipe?

    Best way to backsweeten this wine

    The recipe below has been fermenting for 6 weeks now...a few days ago I used Meta and Sorbate to stop the yeast and also added some isinglass to help with the clarity. Prior to the additions I pulled the sample for my FG reading...then poured it into a glass with some sugar for the wife. It...

    Yeast variety question

    I thought potassium sorbate kills the yeast? Am I wrong on this?

    Yeast variety question

    Been brewing beer for sometime...and have recently gotten into wine making. Yesterday I started a 6 gallon batch of blackberry wine (from Juice). I added 3 lbs of corn sugar. My homebrew store suggested I use the Lalvin QA23 yeast. I got everything together...rehydrated the yeast and pitched...

    Puzzled with Northern Brewer Cream Ale

    I am sure it will come out fine...perhaps a bit drier. It just seems odd to me...I mixed it very well before drawing my reading...

    Puzzled with Northern Brewer Cream Ale

    Just finished up this brew and my OG came out at 1.046....the target is 1.040. I am right at 5 gallons on the nose... I generally always hit my target dead on. Anyone else have this issue with this extract kit? I did do the late malt extract as many others do to keep it the lighter color as...

    Will be still be good roughly 10 months from now?

    During the summer months my weekends are filled with camping. My thought is this winter I will brewing like crazy to keep my cooler stocked at the camper all summer. My question is...if I keep my beer in a cool basement out of the light...will they still be good to drink up to August of next...

    Carboy bottom.....blew out..

    You are going to love the plastic BIG boy....the only issues I have found with them are....do not leave the airlock in when you are moving it...it will suck whatever you have it loaded with back into the Carboy. Also...you really have to crank it down tight....I mean really tight to get a seal...

    Carboy bottom.....blew out..

    Hate to revive my old thread....but I had another glass carboy bottom blow off last week. Wife was not happy...and neither was I. Was very close to selling off everything I bought in January when I started brewing....thinking maybe these were signs that I should not be brewing. But then I...

    Glass or Plastic: Which Big Mouth Bubbler is for you?

    I too have one of each...I currently have a batch going in each one. I love them both...however I seem to be having an issue getting the lid for the plastic one to seal good. Had to really get a hold of the lid and twist hard to stop the excess leaking and get bubbler action. I do like the...

    Hefeweizen with Cascade or Willamette?

    The ingredients you have listed all came in my American Wheat extract kit from NB....I have 10 gallons of my blue moon clone fermenting right now...so in short your answer is yes. Mine is just about finished...and is real close to blue moon...just a bit more hoppy which I am cool with!:tank:

    Maple Pecan Ale using Nukey Brown as base

    I recently brewed up a unique brew. I started with the Nukey Brown Ale Kit from Northern Brewer....but added a couple little twists. 1. I roasted a half pound of raw pecans multiple times for short durations to remove as much of the oils as possible. After I felt I had as much oil removed...
