I do not own a CO2 system. How long , guesstimate, that it will take to come clean on its own in the 5 gal bucket and/or in the bottle. Thanks, Rick

Toss them to the ckickens. They will eat almost anything.

Well, It's that time of year again. Hopefully my efferts won't be wasted. Rick

I can't leave mine quite that long. The question is , do you leave it on the lees that long? Are you letting it go clear, taking it off the lees and then letting it sit? I only had a single 1gal batch come out not yeastie tasteing before I ran out of apples last year. I am hoping that I do...

Plus one more gallon for 16340 gallons

16113 + 3 =16116 Rick

I did Edworts recipe to the letter before and again this time. The first few times came out good. All was made as 5 gal batch then divided into 1 gal bottles. The differance is that I bought a 6 gal better boy for a 6 gal batch. That batch came out sour smelling. I had to raise and lower off...

I don't know if you have to but I did Edworts' with 3 wks in primary, 1 wk secondary, cold crashed it for 4 days then back sweetened 3/4c to 5 gal and bottled. Some carbed most didn't. 1 spit 3/4 L out and over the hand rail (14 ft). I did my first batch in Dec. so I'm still new at this. I...

OK, what do you think happened. The first gal. of Edworts has been in the 1 L bottles for 3wks and I just opened one today and it shot out 3/4's of the bottle. Carbing was a success i guess. The 6-8 oz that was left was dry, tart without much apple flavor. It was 7 wks. from start to openning...

Ok, it may be a silly question, but why add them to the wine? What do they add to a wine and will they help an applewine?

I only made 1 gallon. I didn't like an empty glass jug just laying around. Brewninja1 had 15,791. Plus my one for 15,792. 1 gal. not 1 batch.

15791+1=15792 I added less sugar. I'm hoping that I'll get better flavor. I'll stop it at 1.010, right now it is 1.052.

Ok folks I may have screwed up. I bottled 1 gallon into 4 one liter bottles. The thing is that the last bottle now has some dark stuff at the bottom. It was the last of the 4. I may have sucked up some stuff off the bottom of the primary. So , what is it and is it bad? The other 3 look OK. What...

15,658 + 5 = 15,663 I started another 5 gal. today of Edworts applewine. No changes.

15,483 + 5 = 15488 gallons of apple wine
