I added another gal of hot sugar water with 5lbs of sugar. Got the temps up to 91-92F and pitched the Pectic Enzyme. The OG is 1.088 @ 91F corrected to 1.092 PH is 3.13 and my TA is 5.5 For Blackberry wine should I make any adjustments to the PH or TA?

Thanks. I read that the juice should be 80F for Pectic Enzyme to be effective. Should I heat up the juice to 80 before pitching or will mid 70's be OK?

Thank You. I went ahead and added the Camden last night. It was at 48F. This morning it is up to 60F. I will let it sit all day today. when it gets up to 70F I will test OG and PH. Adjust as needed. then tomorrow I will pitch the Enzyme and nutrients before I pitch the yeast. The enzyme packet...

Thought I would share a picture of my Dunkelweizen. It turned out great.

Thanks for help.

I was wondering if I order LME and crushed grains, will it be alright to hold it for a month before brewing with it. I'm not ready to brew a new batch yet and the store is having a 10% off sale.

Here is mine. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=202038918&storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&cm_mmc=hd%5femail%2d%5f%2dPP%5fOMS%5fMerch%5fShip%5fConf%2d%5f%2d%5fPP%5fOMS%5fMerch%5fShip%5fConf%2d%5f%2dpip%5f202038918%5f%5fW167039082#.UIkE-5G9KSM

I just purchased the Brinkmann Outdoor Gas Cooker Stand from Home Depot. It is the 100,000 BTU burner and does a good job. It boils 6 Gals of water in about 20 min. It controls the flame well too.

OG was suppose to have been 1.055 but my partial mash did not extract enough and I ended up with almost a gal to much water after the boil. Which lowered the OG to 1.044. I have a pumpkin ale that I just bottled tonight. It came out much better and about where it was suppose to be. OG 1.057 FG...

My dunkelweizen has now been bottled for two weeks. I put one in the fridge for over 24 hours and here are my thoughts. The carbonation seemed great. It had a little head after the pour not quite as big as I would like to had. Maybe it was the glass issue. The color was very nice and right...

How much priming sugar have people been using. I usually go 1 oz per gal. Will that work?

This is my 2nd batch and my OG was 1.057. I racked it to secondary after 1 week and now day 15, I'm at 1.020. Mine may not go any lower.
