First let me start by saying I am no expert and this isn’t looking for financial advice. I’m just curious as to opinions. Crypto currencies aren’t really a new thing but definitely a hot topic in my work place ( I’m a business banker ). I’ve heard tons of talk lately about bitcoin and XRP aka...

I was thinking of a very simple recipe of 2.5 pounds of honey, a gallon of cranberry juice and fresh ground ginger. Would this even turn out any good? It seems pretty basic. I was also thinking of making a gallon of chai tea and adding 2.5 pounds of honey and seeing how it turns out. Both seem...

A few years ago I would be on here several times a day. Then life kinda happened and I fell off the homebrew wagon due to time. I have always loved homebrew and craft beers and much to my surprise my hometown got its first local brewery about a year and a half maybe two years ago. This...

I've been playing with the idea of using rose water in a batch soon. I was thinking this would have to be a light flavor wine for the rose water to come through in the finish. What are the thoughts on this?

As I stated in another thread I have been growing Ghost Peppers for the last few years and I think I want to try to make a spicy soda. Not sure how this will work out. Any thoughts or suggestions? I was thinking of a spicy ginger ale or a spicy raspberry soda. I have not made many sodas at all...

A couple of years ago I started to grow ghost peppers. Not knowing what to do with them I tried a variety of different things. Some good, others not so good. One thing my dad came up with was a ghost pepper wine. He made a simple white wine and added one pepper to a bottle. Drinking this wine by...

I have made many beers and wines and I would like to make some of my own soda. I have always used yeast to carbonate. What I am wondering is if I used a non fermenting sugar such lactose and just used 1 cup of table sugar would I be able to bottle in beer bottles and not have to worry about...

so here is what I'm thinking I have: 15# clover honey 7.5# brown sugar 3# ground cinnamon 5# Dry malt extract I don't plan on using all in one batch but I am curious how much of each people here think would make a good combination. I can go either way if this is going to be carbonated or...

I was at work today and the thought came to mind and so far it doesn't sound to bad to me. Make a wine that tastes like Ginger Ale and lightly carb it. Any ideas if this would work or just turn into a batch of drain cleaner? If it would work how would I go about it?

been out of brewing for a while and recently got bit by the bug again. Went to the basement to gather up a few things to see what all I had and to my surprise I found some apple wine I had bulk aging for just over 2 years now and the air lock still had water in it. Going to give it a sample here...

I didn't want to hi jack the other thread on cherry wine type beverages so I thought I'd start this one. My father drove up to Erie this morning and on his way home he dropped off 5 gallons of fresh cherry juice from one of the wineries. I have never made cherry wine, in fact I have not made...

I started a batch of Strawberry mead last Sept and wanted to post some updates. This was a simple recipe I came up with of: 15 lbs clover honey 15 lbs frozen strawberries water to 5 gal yeast energizer staggered yeast nutrient Yeast EC-1118 I cannot find the notes on starting gravity if anyone...

I haven't brewed in a long time. I have been making wine regularly for the last 2 years. I will be going camping for a week with some friends at the end of July. I would like to make a brew for that trip. My friends are not everyday beer drinkers but when they drink beer it is nothing real...

For a while now I have known my marriage is going down a path that no one wants to admit. We are growing apart, our interests just aren't the same as they once were. I'm okay with this, truly I am. I understand this happens. We are staying together simply out of convenience. We don't fight and...

Back in May i started a batch of apple wine with this recipe: (much like Ed's recipe) 5 gallons 100 apple juice 4 pounds table sugar Lalvin 1116 starting gravity of 1.9 final gravity .99 After fermentation stopped I racked and let clear. After clearing I rack again onto a 12 oz...

I just got an invitation to my 20 year class reunion. I didn't go to the 5th or the 10th but now we are at the 20 year mark and for some reason I think I want to go. I looked at the list of people that are confirmed they are going and I don't remember any of them. I kinda want to go to see if...

Been thinking of starting a strawberry mead and here is what I'm thinking. 15 pounds clover honey 15 pounds frozen strawberries Staggered nutrient water to 5 gallons. Was actually thinking of splitting this into 2 batches so I don't have a mess until the initial fermentation is finished...

First I worked from 11 pm to 7 am. Finished work and took my wife out for breakfast. Then went to the dentist to have to teeth pulled. Came home took a short nap now I am wondering if I should start a batch of wine while taking extra strength Vicodin. All in all in a good mood. My mouth still...
