Here is what it looks like now. Two days after adding grapes. It's purple now. Still bubbling a little bit. I think I'll leave it a week or so.

I just racked it over onto the grapes tonight. I washed the grapes then soaked them in some star San for 10 minutes or so then put them in a hop sack and crushed them. Them i put the whole sack in withe the juice then racked on top of it. I would expect another small ferment period by morning...

Thanks i'll have to try that one out. Definitely not much out there on people trying to make them or recipes for them. I might rack them over onto 8 ounces or so to try it out. Not sure if I should boil the grapes first or not.. Someone told me they carry a lot of wild bacteria's on them. I...

Anyone ever try using grapes in beer? I didn't see anything posted her about it. I have a 1 gallon batch of pale ale I did and just so happen to have some Concord grapes available (not enough to do a wind though). Thought I might try racking it on to them after the initial fermentation is...

I wouldn't say it was a problem. I just didn't taste as fresh/good. And I think maybe the priming solution made it cloud up? Not sure why. Yes, you can force carb with it. I put the tap on one on bottling day put the c02 on it and put it directly in the fridge. They say it takes 7 days to carb...

I hate bottling day as well. I recently got the tap a draft system for my birthday. I used it on a California common ale and was very pleased with the results. I filled 2 of the tapadraft bottles then put what was left in bottles. Shortened bottling day severely. Less sanitizing bottles...

I recently purchased a 2" grain mill from Morebeer and have been experiencing higher OG gravity readings when I am done now. No scientific evidence, just the same recipe's with different grain mills. Over shot my OG on a cream ale with the finer grain crush (1.060). I ended up adding a gallon of...

I had this I infection happen a week ago. It had a long lag for the fermentation to start then 2 weeks later it looked like this. I had to dump this one. What type of infection is this?
