Hello, Leon - Unfortunately, I do not have any specific, concrete answers for you, just anecdotes; however, I can say that temperature is indeed important during fermentation, because the wrong temperatures can produce off-flavours. I am bringing this thread up to the top in case anyone else...

www.beerlabelizer.com The free ones are pretty cool, but it is in my opinion very much worth it to upgrade. The cost is almost nothing, and you can really have some fun with it.

Going forward, some suggestions, based on my limited experience: Make sure you get a good hot break and a good cold break; they seem to help, quite a bit. Also, if it were my choice, I'd rather have it in a fermenter an extra week, than bottle/keg too early...especially when it is visibly...

Hi, GF - and thanks! I think that the fire behind it helped quite a bit, but I sure liked it. The wine tasted great, already has me thinking of future batches. I've got one gallon in secondary, and it's almost time to gather chokecherries for 2018, so there will be many more, hopefully.

It was quite a challenge to find an image that I was happy with to use as a label for this beer; in the end, here's what I went with:

I'm a resident of the prairie and descended from people who made a living off of it, so I like the idea of a prairie beer and hope this project comes out well. The Saskatoon berries (in my opinion) would very much be worth a try; I have not used them before, but my understanding is that their...

Rhubarb should be fine, if you've got the maltiness to back it up. I'll throw out a few more ideas, for suggestion purposes only (depending on what you are going for): Strawberries are the obvious compliment, so I assume that you've considered them and rejected them...but perhaps some...

A couple of weeks ago, we enjoyed an older bottle of my chokecherry wine while sitting at a campfire and looking at the stars: The wine looked great and tasted great, so I'd say that the basic idea behind this recipe and method works very well, and I expect future batches to only get better...

Good morning, folks - sorry for my tardy reply; things get pretty busy for my during the last week or so of each month. Since my last post, I switched my blow-off tube for an airlock after the most active period of fermentation had passed. The beer looked really good, with a nice colour...

If you like Saaz, Kazbek is another great one to consider.

Thank you, Miraculix ~ I appreciate the linguistic assistance, and would really like to hear your impressions on this beer, if you try it. :mug:

In my experience, they will be just fine.

Congratulations, JimmyJ - looks great ~ In the bottling photo, is that a bottle of Dragon's Breath that I see? Good stuff, one of the best that Montana has to offer! :mug:

Well, this beer must be good indeed, because my #2 son decided to drink the rest of them without telling me. I'll be brewing another batch before too long, I'd say, and I do not plan to change anything about it. Question for the German-speaking members: just to confirm, if I want to use...

Say, Tom - have you been able to give this a taste, yet? If so, what did you think?

There is all kinds of information out there - plus, most (probably all) recipes for 5 gallons can be scaled down to 1 gallon. I've brewed everything from Kentucky Common to Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Stout, and have had a great time doing it. I am by no means an expert, but I am loving it. As a...

RPh said everything better than I could. :mug: I'm pretty non-scientific about my methods; I give it a primary for a month or two, rack it to a secondary for a month or two, rack it once more for an extended period of time (usually until I remember that it has been sitting for an extended...
