Hey. I know this is an old thread, but I did something with black cherry juice. I did a 250 mL honey mead starter with EC-1118 and let it percolate for about a day. Then I added it to 4L dark cherry juice and gave it another 21 days. Then I crashed it and did the spices listed above. I then put...

Happy St. Paddy's. After a couple of days, there was some very vigorous activity and then things dropped right off again, so I'm thinking your summation is at least close if not very close. The alcohol it generated probably mitigated the acidity, but the environment stayed toxic. There's...

It is perfectly transparent after a 48 hour cold crash, closed-lid pasteurization and siphon. Tests are extremely positive - I used a Lalvin champagne yeast and the liquid...

Howdy, all. Where I live, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a new microbrewery or brewpub. This is a good thing, in that I now have more access to lots of great beers without having to stumble through the process myself. My limited funds can therefore be dedicated to obtaining tried...

As my first official act, I place myself "in."
