    Joe's Ancient Orange Mead...

    drevilz4l: I bottled as is. I wouldn't think it would hurt anything to try to carbonate but I don't know how well it would work as mine was still quite sweet when it finished. Leading me to think that it had overpowered the yeast. If you can force carb it I think it could be quite good fizzy...

    Milk Wine.

    Racked it into some Mason jars. its been a week with no airlock activity, I like the Jars because the lids tend to just blow off if there is some fermentation going on. going to let them settle a good long while before I even think about trying one. Gotta keep an eye on them for a while to make...

    Milk Wine.

    :D Thats why I had to try it. It doesn't sound like anything that could possibly be good. It smells kinda good after a little more than a week. I've got a friend willing to try it. I'm still kinda scared of it. but I had to try making it.

    Milk Wine.

    I bought a book a while back. "The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible" and it contained an interesting recipie. Milk Wine. It has several different ways to make it, and an amusing story about where the author learned about the wine. So I had to try it. It's been going for about a week now, and has...

    Joe's Ancient Orange Mead - JOAM

    I have a jar of fleishmans bread yeast I bought at wal-mart. Don't use the bread machine kind, just the regular bread yeast. I found the optional spices tend to add a little too much spice to the orange. I didn't add them to the others. I got some very good compliments when I was letting people...

    Man, I love Apfelwein

    I think something bad happened to mine. It's not yeasty, or cloudy, but it is very sour.

    shelf life of cheap kits

    ok so I have some bottles I can use for something else. I have just found that there is a brewing shop within a 2 hour drive. so I will pitch most of this stuff and get some new stuff when I can get to them when they are open.

    shelf life of cheap kits

    A few years ago I picked up 2 wine kits and have just now finally decided to go and set them up. They are Lakeview Valley Farms, and I picked them up at walmart for 7 bucks each on clearance. I figured if nothing else the bottles would be worth that much. Now then my questions. They have 5...

    Greetings from the middle of nowhere

    Howdy from the middle of Kansas! I've had two wine kits laying around that I bought several years ago and have never set them up. Now there are a couple packs in them that no longer contain anything and some that look like they have grown stuff on their own. I was at a ren fair and got a phone...
