Thanks Goldminer...I really thought i would go thru the process of bottling and I would have problems down the line...I hope this isn't a stupid question....then why add water and boil?

:HI everyone!! I just bottled my beer and guess what???? When I transferred from the fermenter to the bottling bucket I threw the bottling suagr in and didn't boil it first with water and let it cool down before adding however I did stir it up after I realized i didn't add water and boil it. Do...

Thanks David I did use an yeast activator with it. I'll wait and see!

I started this yesterday everything went well according to directions except one thing...I bought this during the summer and I haven't had a chance to get it brewed. The kit came with a White Labs german Lager yeast liquid WLP 830 and the date said use before Sept 8-09 It has been in the fridge...

I know bentonite is used for clearing but will it kill yeast and stop fermentation? Cheers

Thanks Brandon...I guess I will be here for awhile shaking this stuff up...maybe a1000 times. Cheers

So you could mix this with a fruit juice or any other type of juice for the alcohol party punch...from your recipe just what is the ABV% Cheers

Just picked up a gallon jubg of apple cider today. I poured out a bit to have some head room and then added a package of Red Star Champagne yeast. My question should I add some sugar to this or will it ferment on it's own sugar. If I should add how much would be appropriate? I believe it says...

Thanks Yooper for the information. I am basically thinking of ways for the wife and her friends to enjoy. Cheers

Thanks for the tip. would making a wine spritzer say with Sprite be a drinkable wine?

Ok...this may seem like a stupid question but here goes! If after you have stopped the fermentation process say putting in the fridge for a few days and killing the yeast, if you add more sugar to sweeten will the yeast do a number on your stomach if you drink it or make you sick?

Thanks for the input. I have to get some Star san.Have a good Weekend
