all things weebl and bob are amazing.
That should be good too. Unless you want it sweet and plan to pasteurize a little yeast wouldn't hurt. That should take care of the sugar that you will get from the strawberries. With how clear that is, I'm not sure you would have enough yeast in suspension to drop the sweetness.Ended up buying a bag of frozen strawberries instead of cranberries while out picking up hubby's prescriptions. And I have a little wine yeast in the fridge, might add a little of that too. See what happens.
I am following recipes still about half the time, so have more great batches going than bad ones!
....Ok. It's your liver.I brew that much at 12 gallons a pop! ::rockin:: (don't do the math)
All in the name of recipe development.
Left a message for the sanitary welder. I'm thinking if he isn't ready to go full blown yet maybe buying a Chinese 5bbl system and having him modify it when we take delivery. Hes pretty excited about building though, and seeing as he builds dairy tanks and equipment a brewery should be easy.
Yeah, if you have physical access to a system all the security in the world means nothing.That made me laugh Hoppy. I needed that, been working on my friend's computer. Thing was trashed. Finally cleaned it up enough to work on it and discovered it had a system restore. But, of course, it was passworded and they didn't know what it was. I found a write up on how to go in and retireve the PW though. Pretty cool, and it actually worked. Guess what the PW was..........enter. Geeez. And the moral of this story? Don't lose your laptop. PW's don't mean $hit.
Now you got me in techno mood. I'll have you know that song is now stuck in my head. Thanks hoppy

So...you added sugar and wine yeast too? Here I thought you were fine with just the fruit addition.
You definitely have something there, not sure what it is but it's something.
Mmm...sour liquor. Just saying it leaves my insides warm and fuzzy.
Unless you have a very thorough filter there is always yeast in beer. Killing it and the yeast taking a beer nap are different.
The addition of wine yeast is going to make this drier than it was before. Another active fermentation will cause some of the fruit flavor to be lost, sorry to say.
What are all the ingredients in this beer/wine?
Threw those ingredients into a calculator and based on 3 gal it comes up with an og of 1.075 total without the fruit. 1.067 for the first round of fermentation. srm of 3.7, in the range of a standard American lager.
Don't know if that helps but it gives some base numbers at least.
Bastard braggot??
I miss the 'cola and being able to see my garden...
Yes they can. Though that isn't a good thing. It makes your brew smell like rotten eggs.A day later the strawberries are floating near the top with tons of foam/krausen. Added a pound of strawberries with added sugar plus a little wine yeast. Original yeast used was mauribrew ale yeast, but it's used up. Maybe the new yeast can feed on the old yeast? I should rename it "Barley Strawberry Pruno?".
Yeah, you are going to lose some of the fruit flavor with a vigorous second fermentation. When it's done, bottle and forget about it for a couple months. It's liable to have a bite to it for a while. Usually that mellows out with a little time though.That's what I was going for, an ale version of a standard american lager, like coors or bud light. Friends like it, so thought I'd try to brew it for them. But turned out like bud light on sour steroids. And don't forget the taste of cheap wine in the mix. Oh, well, just an experiment, will keep trying. See what happens with this one.
I like Bastard Braggot, poor baby, not sure who his daddy is.

All of the wines I've made have improved with a little time. Some of them have been down right gross right after hitting FG.
Yeah, the first time I made cider with apples in it I nearly ralphed right into the fermentor. It looks absolutely horrible. I poured the batch through a large colander after fishing out as many of the apples with my spider as I could. Bottled, and hoped for the best. After about 3 months, it was awesome.It looks downright gross now, strawberries have turned white and airlock clogged with pink fluid and seeds. Pretty sure fermentation sucked all the flavor out of the strawberries, that's why they look white now. Replaced the airlock with a clean, sanitized one. Bad experiment. Not looking good, but since it's not really taking up any of my space, will give it time. Now it looks like pink sour lemonade, with floating white objects.
someone definately has a green thumb
City has started burning 2000 acres just north of us and ashes are falling like snow. Can't go outside. This sucks.
Are they doing a controlled burn to reduce wildfires or is it for agriculture?
Here is to local craft beer at the fish fry <burp>. Excuse me!
Wind shifted and it's nice out now. Gonna strap a light to my forehead and go for a midnight brew. Also some midnight planting. Green beans, lima beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, squash, onions, spinach, ummm... more stuff too. My container gardening is for personal consumption, fields are for stuff to sell. Yum!! Beer and veggies. I love any veggie soaked in olive oil and roasted. Steamed healthy is good too.
Anyone here have bees? I'm thinking of getting a hive this year. Not sure why, except that I kind of like bees. And of course the honey. And might annoy the neighbors. Which is always important.
You should grow hops!
