I'm more of a brewer but was hoping for an answer with a wine kit. I've got a chardonnay kit that has set long enough after one racking that it is perfectly clear, the next step that I was supposed to do a while ago was to add potassium metabisulfate and potassium sorbate, stir, and then add...

I've got 4 jars of washed 2 month old us-04 from a 5 gallon batch that were done using the yeast washing sticky. There is about 1/4" of yeast per jar and I would like to make a 5 gallon batch of 1.064 tomorrow and wondered if I could use multiple jars instead of making a starter. I've got a back...

A while ago I brewed a AG barleywine that had a sg of 1.103, it went down to 1.030 and stayed there for a month. I was kinda bummed as I was hoping it would go lower. I racked it to a 5 gallon carboy and put it covered in my basement months ago figuring it was going too be way to sweet. I...

I made a AG Double Bastard Clone, OG 1.103 5 gallon batch. My vial of WL California Ale V 051 was about a month past the best by date. Made a 1L 1.040 starter that i used a oxygen stone on, and swirled every now and then until done. Decanted and added another 1L 1.040, same steps. When...

Just took the leap so I could move my brewing inside, ramp up my all grain from 5 gallons to 10 gallons without all the lugging around, and make my brews as consistent as possible. After a ton of reading I went with The Electric Brewery which will be a DIY kit from Kal. I took the easy way...

English Ale Yeast WPL002 was pitched directly into a low gravity brew by a friend that was brewing. I took the empty vial, made a one liter 1.040 DME mix(boiled), filled the vial with DME mix and pitched into 1 liter mix. I also used a oxygen stone and pure oxygen. Should I have started with...

Making my first batch of Apfelwein and only had a 6.5 gallon carboy available. Made 5 gallon recipe in sticky, was wondering if now that the yeast has started fermenting if I should top off with more juice/sugar to reduce the top surface area. I only used one packet of yeast so I didn't want...
