gave a friend my copy of the recipe, I will see him this weekend and will get it back then.

here you go vic 2.5lbs strawberries (i used frozen berries I picked from the previous summer. thaw if frozen) 20 medium stalks rhubarb - chopped 1 lb brown sugar 2 lbs white sugar 3/4 - 1 cup lemon juice (to taste) 1 packed bread yeast 3 gallons water - Place berries...

I have it written down at home, when I get home from work, I will dig it out and post it.

what is lactose sugar?

Well guys, fermantation is all done. I sweetened it and I bottled this concoction 2 days ago to carbonate it. It tastes good before carbonation. The question I have is that I hope I didn't mess it up. In order to filter the strawberry seeds out, i poured it through a clean flour...

I have a strawberry rhubarb concoction going right now. Kind of a knock off of a hard lemonade. I had no other yeast in the house so I used bread yeast. Definitly fermenting, and smells pretty good. I plan on bottling and carbonating as soon as it stops bubbling in the air lock. Have to see...

I will try that. Hopefully it won't take a lot longer to finish fermenting. This is new territory for me as the couple batches of beer I have made have been done fermenting within 2 weeks.

it is roughly 3 gal. so i should let it finish fermenting and then sweeten to taste with splenda, and then bottle carbonate it with a little sugar in the beer bottle

It has been fermenting for 2 weeks now and don't want to have an alcohol content of 10% since I added quite a bit of sugar when I made it. There are still bubbles in the airlock acout every 15 sec. Is there a way to stop the fermenting before I bottle it to carbonate it? It smells and...

Thank you for your help. I will hopefully be bottling next week, I will let you know how it turns out

Thanks, I read the link -- If I understand what is said correctly, I should be able to use it since it is not a sugar. Did I understand it correctly?

This concoction seems to be fermenting right along. Lots of activity in the air lock. When I am ready to bottle this, can I sweeten with splenda, and then still use 1/2 - 3/4 cup of corn sugar to carbonate it. I don't know if the splenda would mess up the carbonation. What do you guys think?

I guess I wouldn't call it wine. I used a recipe a friend of mine gave me, only I substituted the Straw. & Rhubarb for the lemons. You are correct that there is no malt. His recipe called for plain bread yeast and a fermention of 1 week, and then carbonation of 1-2 weeks in the bottle. I...

I don't know if I am putting this in the correct forum, because I did not make beer, nor is it cider. I hope you guys can help. I have made a vairation of the hard lemonade. I like to call mine hard "Strawbarb" ade. I used strawberries and rhubarb. How long do you think something like...

Living only 10 miles away from the Leinenkugel's brewery, I have always been a fan of the Leinenkugel's Original. Does anyone have a recipe, and complete directions, which would be very similar this brew fondly referred to around here as "The Nectar of the Gods". I Know this next one will...
