Both of these are interesting, I think I'm going to try and do an open ferment of some apple wine in it and see how that goes

I've been hearing of people fermenting in coolers, not as in refrigerators but like portable coolers like the orange Gatorade ones. I happen to have one of these that I've never even used it's food grade plastic number 2 I believe. The only two reason I could think that it would work is because...

So I was at a local store today and found that they had apple juice on sale for a $1.00 a container that holds 1.75 liters of juice. It was all in date and good to use sooooo, I bought every bit of it, 11 containers. And since I don't have a proper carboy yet I went a head and bought 5 one...

fermentation is going pretty good right now but I'll just have to wait and see how it turns out. I did order some ec1118, and fermaid k to get me started on my next batch. But I think I'm going to go ahead and get some more equipment from the lbs today.

Thank you this is pretty help full!

Hi, I'm new to brewing and I was wondering, how much sugar in ever gallon can ec1118 handle. I broke my hydrometer that I just bought and wont be able to get back to the LBS for another week. I know this yeast can handle 18% so I just kind of need to know a rough estimation of how many...

Hey, I just went to ritebrew.com and bought a couple more packets of ec1118, and 1 ounce pack of fermaid k is this the type of yest nutrient you were talking about? And about how much should I put into each gallon I feel as I got a pretty good deal 6 packets of 5 gram yeast, and a pack of...

Yeah I know, I'm pretty new to brewing and didn't realize that I would need some sort of nutrient to keep things going, my whole understanding was that all you needed is sugar and water to produce an alcoholic beverage. I now know how wrong that was

Hi, I'm about to start a sugar, and water mixture with cut up apples using ec1118 for my yeast. I was wonder if the cut up apples would be sufficient nutrient for the yeast to properly ferment? It's only going to be a gallon just as a test to see if I can add flavoring to it so I really just...

Well I went with the recipe above and it has already started to bubble and do it's thing, I'll post back letting you guys know how it's doing!

I am greatly appreciative all of you guys suggestions but it was kind of off topic to my question I've know that I needed the stuff like that from the researched I've done but the only place to get it near here is a good drive away, compared to the grocery store less than a minute away. I was...

I know from what I've been reading it will make a huge difference but at this point in time I'm just trying to get a feel for what I'll be doing with a real brew. But I completely understand the need for it, I honestly am probably going to go ahead and make some with the method/recipe I put in...

Hi, I'm completely new to even the idea of brewing. So I would like some help on my first very basic brew. I have researched and have a decent idea of what I should expect and not expect from my first try at this. With this being my first time I thought that it would be a good to reach out to...
