I made it yesterday after a day it blew the air lock a little but not too bad

what kind of juice did you use? I'm gonna use premixed welches grape juice. I dont know if that will make a difference vs you adding your own water.

ok thats what I was thinking about was how much it would foam up. I know from a similar fruit wine I made that i could fill it up and not have to worry about it in a 5gal carboy. As far as smell I clamp a hose to the top of my air locks and put the hose out the window :D I had 20gals going...

thats cool I'm gonna go to the store tonight and buy some of this beer, and hopefully try your idea out.

I heard a dash of lemon juice is good.

Yooperbrew, You said I think in the other post that the fermentation is fierce right? I was gonna just use a 5 gal glass carboy and fill it up. I did it with the apfelwein and there was no problem with over flow but I haven't used grape juice.

Nice Job!:D

Yeah I'm gonna do a white soon too. Now I can look at juice in a whole different way when I go to the store.

Who doesn't like the copper when its turned a nice green colour :D

So I decided to try the same type of receipe as edworts apfelwein, but instead of just apple juice and sugar I'm gonna replace it with just straight welchs grape juice. I wanted to use the same type of yeast and add a little more sugar so that it comes out to around 14% since the grape juice...

I was gonna do something like that but I already bought and bent a copper coil. If figured if I left it in there I could just boil it clean. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-new-immersion-wort-chiller-127755/ I ended up using long lines so I can pull it out, but Mine was also connected...

Thanks that Was what I was trying to find out. I heard about passivation but I couldn't find what chemicals to use. I was gonna use CLR but Wasn't sure about how it would react with the internal parts. I found some on Amazon for 2.50 a can.

I used a SS wire dremel tool to strip off the rust and then wiped it clean.

After cutting the tops of my kegs some of the metal pieces have stuck to the inside and rusted. I used a SS wire Drememl tool and cleaned off the rust but I read that the SS has to cure in order to be stainless again. I kept it dry but the moisture in the air is causing some of the spots to...

Well after figuring how how to connect it to the supply lines this is what I came up with. Its a 50' x 1/2" ID tubing, with garden hose attachments, connected with a ss washing machine lines so that its flexible. The only thing I don't really like about it is the inner piping is pvc...

I ended up connecting some washing machine hoses to it that are flexable and ss so i can easily move it in and out now

I think thats gonna be the plan! Thanks.

I orginaly was gonna do cold water only but my system is connected to the water lines so I spliced in hot water. I figured just to cut down on the time. I also added a carcoal filter before the hot water tank to clean up the water. The only problem is that since the water goes through the...
