I’m thinking about getting some berries going with the idea of making wine of course. My favorite blend so far being blueberry, blackberry, raspberries, and strawberries. Of all the different varieties available, would anyone have any suggestions for varieties when given the choice? So far I’ve...

I just finished my first ounce of this wonder tea. I first heard about it On this forum in a smoked honey thread. Now I want to make a batch highlighting this tea. Now I’ve read through many posts and articles about using tea in a brew. But most of it is about adding tannins or using an herbal...

After making several fruit wines and meads, I decided I wanted to make some Cabernet since thats all I’ve been buying. I got a Cellar Craft sterling California Cabernet. Of course I’m not going to follow the timeframe outlined in the instructions, and I won’t be using the clarifying agents...

I’ve heard the only healthy thing in red wines is the tannins, but what about other fruits? How much, if any, of the vitamins and minerals present in the fruit/juice remains after it’s been fermented and cleared? Black currant has loads of vitamin C, but will any of it make it into the wine I...

My mother asked me to make a batch of wine using some very tasty moon drop grapes that she got at Sam’s club. She gave me 18lbs and wanted see what I could make with them. I destemed, rinsed, and froze them for a few days. I now have them in a brew bag thawing in a bucket. I plan to just mash...

After trying the first batch of the berry death bomm I made, I’ve come up with a blend to try for my second melomel. Still following the BOMM protocol for this. I started this a few days ago, let’s see how this goes. Black Deathberry BOMM For ~3gaL batch Day 1 Prep: 1qt yeast starter (1/2 pound...

I’ve read mixed reviews with growing a Scoby from the reformulated bottles of GTS, but since that’s all I could find I gave it a go. Yes I do have a brew shop down the street from me that sells them, but IM doing this more as an experiment, and a friend asked me to make her some. Started on 7-17...

while doing a search on a brand of honey, one of the results landed me a great price on some honey at a local discount store! If I had more cash available, I would of ended up walking out with a case of the orange blossom, but I bought 6lbs of it and the only two coffee blossom they had. I’m...

I’ve started myself on a slippery slope. I think I’m more culturing and growing yeast than doing this for the wine itself at the moment. Two weeks ago I made an oversized starter for a Melomel I was putting together. After that was split and pitched, I’ve been continuing to feed and split this...

since I’m just starting out and kinda enthusiastic... I just pitched my third batch within a week. This is my 5th batch since I started brewing a month ago. As the title says, I’m doing a strawberry wine, but using the staggered protocol laid out in “Brays one month mead”. Only difference is...

Newbie here, I’ve made 3 gallons of various wines/mead done years ago, and taking a more serious go at it again. Ive joined after reading about the BOMM method, and couldn’t wait to try and make something that doesn’t need to be aged for a year or more. Also interested in the hands on approach...
