After 2 months in secondary, I added camden tablet and wine finishings. When it was clearing, I tested a bit. It was very dry wine. I have done back sweetening. I went for artificial sweetener (like splenda), After a 2-3 weeks, wine almost cleared and I tested a bit. Now it is too sweet. It is...

Sorry I said the inside temperature but it wasn`t clear I guess. Inside temperature is 15-18C degree.

After a week in the fermentation again, I syphoned my wine to new demi-john and I unplugged the heater because it uses too much electricity. In this time of the year as you imagine inside of the house is cold. Out side is -3,-4 C in the evening and in the is around 15 C. Sometimes I turn on the...

Yes I know. I heard several times but I never tired yet.

Yes I know it. Normaly I use sweetener with coffee and tea every time rahter than sugar so I got enough at home. The problem is I have never done backsweetening before.:)

Not too bad. My wife loves it anyway. :)

To far to late. I have just added 500 gram of brown sugar in it and syphoned to another demi-john. Then plugged the fermenter heater again. Time will show as how it turns out.

Thank you I haven`t add sugar yet. I will buy some sugar and add this night. I use fermenter heater for heat up the temperature in the demo-John but it hasn`t got temperature control. When I brew beer I use inside heater which has a temperature control but it doesn`t fit in 1 gallon...

No I didn`t want to clone any commercial cider. I found some reduced price 100% apple juice and apples. I wanted to try a cider. It was my first cider. I have been brewing a beer for year or so but I never tried cider or wine. I didn`t find any cider yeast and tried wine yeast. Now It tastes...

Thanks for suggestion. It was very snowy week in here. Roads were closed and I haven`t got vehicle also my home brewing supply very far away from me. I couldn`t go there. I found wine yeast in my supermarket I gave it a try.

Hi everbody; I tired to make a cider. I used 100% apple juice and I squeezed 1 kg apple and put in it. It was 1 gallon patch. Because of lack of cider yeast I used young`s super compound wine yeast. Fermentation stopped after 4 days. I waited until a week. Then I taste it a bit. It turned...

It is not 20L. Its 7.5 imperial gallons so equal to almost 35 L.

Hi guys; I just wonder If I use the 20 L catering water boiler for mashing. Its cheaper than mashing boiler and they both seem mechanically same to me. catering boiler has thermostat on it so when I find the correct temp. thermostat can do rest and keep same temp for me. Also its 7.5 gallons...

I would prefer more coffee taste rather than normal dry stout taste. So I don`t want too strong or too wick. Middle is the best for me. But I would like to have more alcohol. It can be above 5%, and 6 % can be perfect. I decided to use 4 kg of grains for middle taste. Am I right? But however...

Thanks Orfy but I don`t understand what does (ish) means there? Is that 3 to 5 kilogram. Second of all I have no budget. I`m postgraduate student. Two weeks ago my laptop smashed and I bought new one. I spent too much many for my budget so far. If I find a 5 gallon pot from somewhere or...

I have got 3 questions; *How many kilograms of grain do I need for 5 Gallon? *If I don`t find such a big pot like 3 to 5 gallon, Can I boil in 4 small saucepan. *Can I use crushed crystal malt as a base malt?

No I don`t have equipment and honestly I don`t have space to put them. So If I do it with grains, the only think I can do is partial mesh brewing. I think I just need cloth bags, big pot to boil them and thermometer. I already have my extract brewing materials as well.

Sorry, I changed my profile and added my location. I found chocolate malt and other malts. I change my mind. If I find simple recipe I will go for all grain.I`m trying to find simple all grain recipe for coffee stout. All recipes which I found look complicated. So many grains written there, they...
