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...

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 don't know why its not siphoning out the last parts of water? Its has a 90 degree bend and is part of a 3 tier system. Should the kettle be a little higher? I thaught that it would create a vaccum from draining out a full kettle and be fine even though there is not much of a height change

I am planning on building my bk so that that chiller is built inside ( it can be removed but I don't want to do that very much) and stays during the whole boil. I keep hearing about how its not good for the acidic wort to be incontact with the copper for that long. Has anyone done this? Also...

Take a look at this video please YouTube - Permanent wort chiller in boil kettle (keggle) The system is hooked up to the plumbing of the house and it will be circulating cold water through the chiller then out to the drain. The two pieces of copper you see will have 90 degree elbow joints...

Here is a video of the new sparge arm. I designed it in a trial run but do you think I will be ok with this flow rate? There are 4 posts with 8x 1/16" dia holes. It seems kinda fast to me, granted its hooked up to the plumbing of the house but the ball valve is almost shut off. YouTube -...

Delete this please. I should have searched and a number 7 recycle symbol is not a good thing :( hI have been thinking about using them since I can get some for free. They smell like plastic inside but a little vinegar helped that. I am gonna use them for wine I think since beer...

I made a five gallon batch of wine with frozen blackberrys', raspberrys, and cranberrys. I had not made wine before so I made it like beer. I mixed it up I think I used about 8lbs or so of whole fruit, added a couple cups of sugar and then but it to a boil. I mashed the fruit while it was...
