Thanks that is just what I was looking for

It will go into the wine in secondary for body.

I want to make a banana wine and the only golden raisins have sulfur dioxide on them. Any way to remove or will it hurt? Thanks

If I use Chitosan and Kieselsol to clear beer is there enough yeast left to bottle condition the beer?

That is what I wanted to know thanks

I now have a fermenter to do a 7.5 gal batch, my problem is I don't have a boil kettle big enough. I batch sparge and have two kettles to boil in. What would happen if I put first runnings in one, second runnings in another and put the hops 50/50 in each boil kettle. Would that cause a problem...

Sounds good could you post? Thanks

The recipe calls for amber dme and steeping grains and I just want to convert to all grain. The beer is a black forest lager and sounded good to me.

Thanks it didn't say brand just amber dme

I would like to know what grains to use to replicate 5# dry amber malt extract. Thanks

They are brown, but smell like good hops

I just picked some hops from a friend, they were dried on the vine. Are they any good yet?? Thanks Kurt

Thanks for the responses, I think that I will spike it a bit with frozen concentrate, ferment, sorbate it, and sweeten with concentrate to taste. then force carb.

I have a cooking apple tree at my parents place. I just juiced two apples that I froze and thawed and the yield was 6 oz. Will cooking apples make good cider? I have plenty to chose from. Past years we hauled several wheelbarrow loads away. Thanks Kurt

Yes it is and thanks
