Awesome, I have the K-meta, but I didn't have any K-sorbate. I placed a quick order, it should be here before I need to stabilize it. This is already a pretty fun hobby, I may have to have an internal battle to not head too far down the rabbit hole, or too far into my pocketbook, for that matter.

Quick update on the Pee: I did a quick gravity reading and taste test. It has been 48 hours since fermentation began. Gravity is down to 1.052ish. It tasted pretty sweet, pretty lemony, tiny bit yeasty, and had a faint bit of an alcohol taste. The Alcohol smell was pretty clear. So I tossed in...

Awesome, thanks for the info, bernardsmith! I will use K-meta tablets on the next batch. You guys are making sure I get educated fast, I appreciate it. I am planning on trying to make some meads here soon. I had a bottle of Viking Blod by Dansk Mjød a few years ago, and totally fell in love...

Well,... at least more classy than an actual lava lamp! :pipe:

Thanks, bernardsmith. I didn't use any K-meta, but I did sanitize everything with StarSan. Does K-meta have any additional benefits over StarSan when used for sanitation? I did use a hydrometer before fermentation began. The OG of my must was ~1.078, a bit higher than it should be I think...

True! It probably wouldn't be too great without the lemon, however. Once I get my brewing legs under me I'll attempt making some more traditional wines.

Alright, thanks for the info, buMbLeB. I'll do that! It seems to be going pretty good so far, I am up to one bubble from the airlock every second now. Can't hurt to play it on the safe side though. Its pretty wild to watch all the pulp swirling around in the fermentor. It's like a classy man's...

Thats the plan! I have 4 one gallon jugs now, some bigger better stuff is in next months budget.

Why is that? I have no idea what I am doing, but I have read in many places that O2 is the enemy.

Hey everyone! I started my first batch of skeeter pee last night, and my second ever attempt at brewing! I thought I'd share. Doing a one gallon batch. I'm enough of a noob that I don't want to do any large batches yet; and one gallon also allows for lots of experimentation! This...

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I promise I will use the search function (unless I am well into my glass), I'm usually pretty paranoid about looking like an idiot! Besides, I can probably find answers faster that way.

Awesome! Simple, logical, and I wouldn't have ever thought of it on my own. Thanks! :mug:

Hey everyone, I'm new to brewing, and pretty darn excited about it. I just recently started my very first batch, and thought I'd share! I'm looking forward to some more complex stuff when I get the basics down. It's pretty simple, just a gallon of organic Columbia Gorge pasteurized cider...

Hello all, I am brand new to home brewing. I have wanted to try it for years, but only just recently got around to it. I started just a few days ago, and have already started a couple one gallon batches, cider and skeeter pee. Thinking I will probably start a batch of mead next, then a beer...
