Do you have any advice as to my earlier post? I just bottled a little over half of my 5 gallon batch. I'm going to transfer my other half into my other 2.5 gallon carboy to just age for a few more months. Would it be a good idea to add some more sugar to start up fermentation again? Or would...

I just tasted mine today for the first time after about 4.5 or 5 months and it was delicious.

So this is the first wine I've ever made. I'm going to bottle 2.5 gallons of a 5 gallon batch I made back in October. It has been in Primary this whole time. If I were to transfer 2.5 gallons to another carboy and add another pound of brown sugar, would this work or should I just leave the extra...

I'm sorry for all the newb questions, but how would I tell itIts done with a hydrometer? Also, I thinking actually going to juSt bottle as a still cider without carbing it.

How long would you say it would take for the fermentation to stop? It really doesn't have to be carbonated in the end.

Hey guys! I'm making a quick 9 day Apple cider with Apple cider, white wine yeast, and sugar. I'm going to bottle it after the 9 days to keep. As this is my first time bottling, how would I bottle this to keep it carbonated? It's 2.5 gallons that I will put in to old Grolsch bottles and some...

ačiū!

I just got back from my local bottle shop and I got 5 Gloschs for 14.49 incl tax. Not bad considering I get beer with the bottles!

Thanks! I guess I'm off to buy Grolsch! :)

I probably going to use the Grolsch bottles to save hassle and re use the caps. Should I buy the bottles put together or can I just attach those flipper caps to any beer bottles?

It's my Lithuanian family's OLD recipe.

I'm preparing to make a batch of Apfelwein and I've got a question about bottling. I'm planning on bottling after 3 months. I have the fermenting equipment, but I don't have any of the bottling equipment. I really don't want to have to buy a kit with the fermenting equipment, so could anyone...

I just bought my carboy and the yeast for by Wednesday, I'll have this sitting in my closet bubbling away! Also, if I do the_bird's recipe at 2.5Gal with 1lb brown sugar, how much sugar would I add before I bottle. I would probably use cane sugar, since I'm not a fan of corn sugar.

Hello everyone! I'm Jon. I live in West Lafayette, In. I've always loved beer and wine but I've never brewed before but I've decided I'm going to start. I'm taking it easy at first. I've just completed my first batch of Federweißer yesterday. The first big batch I plan to make is 2.5 gallon of...
