Good afternoon gents,
I have done a ton of beer brewing doing partial mashes etc... Never got all the way into all grain brewing.
I thought it might be fun to brew some champagne since my lady and I enjoy that on weekends.
What I would like to do is make a nice dry brut and then to speed things along, force carbonate a 5 gal batch in my kegerator.
Since I have never made wine, I am wondering if this might be too ambitious of a project. Also, I did a little searching and didn't see anything on force carbonating sparkling wine probably because most people want to put it in bottles, but I have no problem leaving it in a keg. Any thoughts from an experienced champagne maker?
Lastly, if someone could point me in the direction of a good recipe that would be fantastic!
Thanks in advance
