ok I'm tired of turning in circles. Im googleing my way trough it, but I have to ask for opinions here :mug: I have a couple of boxes of mixed apples (3 kinds), a couple of boxes of pears (2 kinds), and access to what i believe are crab apples (used to boost pollination by attracting more...

gees, i gave my stout a first taste today to start the gravity readings that will tell me if the fermentation is finished, and i am blown away by the taste. It is my first beer ever (i did ciders before...) and really didnt expect much quality from this simple Cooper's kit (!...). This beer is...

Here's the menu of the brewpub that makes the best beer i have ever drank (Rigor Mortis ABT, a Belgian Trappist monks style Quadrupel strong brown ale, and Solstice d'Hiver, a Barley Wine) 'Found their website yesterday, thought that i'd share it with you guys ;) If you ever, ever happen to...

My (Cooper's) Stout is in its final days of primary fermention, witch was kept at temperatures ranging between 60F and 65F (15ish to 18 celcius). I didnt take a gravity reading yet, but airlock activity is getting real slow. now the 2 last days have been quite cold in the region here so my...

I've got everything ready to start my mead. However the lady at my local home brew shop sold me a little bag of bulk yeasts nutrient with a simple "yeast nutrient" sticker... At first i asked her for Fermaid-K and i'm really not sure if she even knew what was i talking about.... It's a small...

you guys have to see this i almost chocked on my sandwich YouTube - Making Wine out of Coca Cola

in my opinion the culprit is the cinnamon (see signature). I tasted one of the 2 gallons and it has an horrible smell. Didnt even try to taste it. It wasnt so much like a moldy or vinegary smell, more like when my gf tried to make a apple-cinnamon bread and turned out real weird. Is the idea to...

day 5 of the fermentation, still no flocculation, am i in any kind of trouble? the other batch i did flocculated a lot; same yeast, different juice. Theres lots of fizz action, and a delicate kreuzen (spelling?). Bubbling along nicely. does it has to do with pulp content of the juice...

Winter's coming... Anybody have experienced with ice/late harvest cider? Winemaking with grapes tells us that late harvested fruit bears much less juice per fruit, insane levels of sugars and sometimes very interesting wild yeasts - with late harvested grapes ("Bothrytis Afffected"). What's...

hello people, its a first post AND a first batch for me. ok i'm facing a couple of problems here, and i desperately need answers! i've processed my apples (multiple late harvested varieties from the orchard in my backyard! Ambrosia, Pink Lady, Fudji and the odd Corland) in my kitchen juicer...
