Thank you very much for that information. The juice was given to me by a friend of mine from Georgia. He makes wine too. He gave me approx six gallons of juice. The recipes tell you to use a certain amount of weight of grapes to make the wine. I don't know how much six gallons of grape is. Do...

I would like the recipe for the sweet muscadine wine. I have six gallons of muscadine juice in the freezer. I'm just looking for a good recipe.

Well it seems to of have turned out. The FG is right where it is supposed to be. ABV 5.5%. I bottled a few days ago. Now I got two long weeks til I get to drink em'. Thanks for the help. I started a Christmas Ale a week ago. Hope it's going to taste good for the holidays.

Thank you for the information. I will abide by this in my future batches. I'll let you all know how this batch turns out.

Even if it has reached its FG: and has remained there with no change for two days?

A whole week? Really?

The OG was 1.056. On Day5 the SG: was 1.026. Today on Day7 the SG: is 1.020. The instruction said that the FG is 1.013-1.016. It looks as if it's working out. I tasted a little bit. I think it's tasting good. Just flat!

No sulfur smell

I discarded the packet. But the instructions stated that the lager yeast will still perform well if brewed like an ale. The fermentation temp is 66F. I checked the OG: 1.056. The current SG: 1.036. It's been 5 days. Is that normal?

This is a Brewers Best beer kit. I'm not quite sure what yeast I used. The package said Lager yeast. I moved it to a warmer room. I let it sit at 72F for 10 hrs. It started burbling right away. Either it was a coincident or the warmer temp helped.

German Oktoberfest. And since I don't have the equipment for a lager I'm doing an ale.

Should I transfer to a glass carboy?

I'm using a five gallon bucket. You know what. I don't think there is a seal on the lid. I can smell the fermentation. Just didn't see the bubbling. So I just figured. I'll have to check out the SG. Thx!

Pitched the yeast 72hrs ago and still no bubbling. This is my first attempt in making beer. I followed the instructions to a "T" watched my temperature like a hawk. Fermentation temperature is 66F and does not fluctuate more than one degree either way. Can I still save this?
