I have used both honey and brown sugar before I did add nutrient same yeast Same pectic enzyme maybe a few degrees colder than my other batches Its at about 65 degrees, when the others were at about 69. Can that make such a difference?

I had all my equipment empty, all was kegged. I thought to myself "why am I not fermenting something?" I went to the store, bought a case of Seneca frozen apple juice concentrate (only ascorbic acid added). Added my awesome well water to make 6 gallons. Added 5 lbs of brown sugar, 1.5 pounds...

I am pleased to say that the pear wine is really good! It is crystal clear, a golden amber color and tastes completely original and delicious. Gave a few bottles to the neighbor with the pear tree...he said "next season just take what you want, you dont have to stop and ask. And there are...

Well the perry jack I will drink, but I dont love it....but my pear wine is delicious! I have 2 batches of 6gal pear juice. One made with organic sugar and the other with brown sugar. They stopped bubbling so I tried them both. There is the expected alcohol taste that will go away with time...

A year to mature....I have been drinking my Apple wine that I started sept 1st for quite some time....and its good. Anyway. If I make it into perry jack will it still mature? I was thinking about using charcoal and filtering out the funky taste. I did drink a pint so its not horrid. Why is...

I stopped by to ask if they use the pears for anything and the reply was "Take all you want" I filled 5 14 gallon totes! That juiced into 15 gallons of pear juice (took me 4 hours) I made 2 six gallon batches one with organic sugar and one with brown sugar (they are still bubbling) I left 3...

No pumps or mixers. This is a pre-mix system. Soda is pre-made in the keg and co2 is just to carb it and pump it out.

I was posting while you posted this reply...look at the times. LOL Thanks for the info...I figured it may be a poor idea. I am going to run the cider, wine and possibly a home made organic soda through the gun and run a tap (or two) through the fridge door for beer. Unless someone has tried...

Its going to be a while before the thing is put together...It turns out my basement fridge will hold all 6 kegs (with slight modification) so its going to look like a fridge :) My question however is left unanswered...can I dispense beer through a soda gun? Or will I need to add a tap?

There is certainly some bragging going on here... Its going to be amazing when its all set up!

I scored a 6 keg system! 6 corneys, a dual regulator (one has a 5 hose manifold the other a single for force carbing) This was a pre-mix system (thats why it was scrapped) plus 2 cold plates with 2 wonderbar bar guns attached. I plan to dispense homemade (still) wine, and sparkling cider, and...

:d

I just spent 5 minutes decoding your morse code. I was expecting something earth shattering! Sadly I was disappointed. LOL :off:

Thanks for the link! I just racked my 3rd batch last night, did a 3rd on my 2nd batch and have drank 1/4 of my first which is bottled in Champagne bottles and swing-tops. I have been waiting for natural carbonation, and its been 3 weeks. I open a 16oz swing top (or three) a week to "check for...

Warning! This post is pure gloating :) So I had a haloween party at my Gun Club this weekend...While setting up the bands I was chatting with the bartender. She told me they were stripping the soda system out and tossing it. My head started spinning. Called the club president and asked what...

No, just sparkling cider. I think if I had 3 glasses of jack...I would not be able to type!

Just bottled a case of 16 oz Grolsch swing tops and 6 champagne bottles full of my first batch ever!. Primed with 4.5 oz of dextrose for some carbonation. I accidentally drank 3 glasses while I was bottling...this is the best hobby that I have ever had. Only problem is that I am now drunk, at...

I use a Jack lalane power juicer express. My wife bought it for x-mas. The thing will do 5 galons of whole apples in 45 minutes. No wasted juice! This thing is amazing. It sells new for 100 but I bet ebay and some luck you could get it for 50. The pulp is almost dry when it comes out...

My Jack LaLane juicer leaves behind no mush. The thing is fast and efficient. You could not squeeze any juice out of the leavings! In fact I toss them in a cardboard box when the bin gets full and it doesn't even get wet! I was just wondering about the sediment...My first batch was tough to...

I see most people buy cider, concentrate or press their own juice. I use a Jack LaLane juicer...lots of sediment. I strain in a bag, but its still pretty thick when I begin. What can I expect? I busted out the wine theif tonight and gave it a try (on the second rack only 3.5 weeks in) it is...
