Sulfury rotten egg musk? I got that when my temps were too high and the yeast were very stressed. Thought I over sulfated but after a year there was no improvement and I dumped it. If it's musky like fresh man-scent... I've got nothing

Your friend is likely experiencing a placebo effect. He knows your apfelwein is home brewed and is bringing some preconceptions to the table. The other possibility is you stirred up the lees before you bottled. If this is the case you can rack it per Yooper's recommendation of every 60 days...

On the contrary, I'm pissed off that I'm not normal. As for more gluten free "options", I have to wade through even more crap with the nutritional content of styrofoam to get something worth eating. I am served contaminated food at restaurants because waitstaff assumes I'm just "on a diet"...

They are going to be ugly as sin, without much alcohol. Is your CO okay with you making prison hooch?

Hmmm.... I don't know. Repeat the experiment, and track the variables. Might take you a while. I hope you don't operate machinery. Serious, it could be: No sugar or preservatives in your brew You drank a lot of water you don't remember You had just the right amount and kind of food...

Splash of sprite, Splash of ginger ale Cherry syrup Cranberry juice Cinnamon sugar apple pie spice Sparkling, over sliced strawberry Orange juice for an awesome mimosa. Unfortunately, I'm out of apfelwein at the moment, so experiments have slowed down.

Most people are following a fad and experiencing a strong placebo effect; Many are improving their quality of life by avoiding wheat and replacing it with more nutritious foods like fresh vegetables and nuts. Some have an allergy to gluten, as evidenced by blood test results showing a...

So... If you don't have a contract, that agent is de facto representing the seller. They can and will be grilled for everything they know about you as a buyer, and they are legally obligated to tell the sellers agent. You shouldn't really be looking with an agent if they haven't impressed you...

pkrath, I checked my local bev warehouse, but they were picked clean. We'll see if I can hook tflew up. Someone's got to want some Northeast beers.

p.s. remembered everything.

Erm... twice. First, my buddy came down to visit and we split a bottle of my Raspberry skeeter pee...then another before I realized they were my liter bottles for parties... I thoughtfully wrote out a note for my roommate telling him that I would clean out the sink in the morning. I woke up...

Yup. Woodchuck Citizen Cider Angry Orchard Farnham Hill <---(750ml. Long night and great memories) Strongbow and slowly growing

How have I been a member here for years and not known about this thread???!!! Hoping to grant some wishes. Aaron

Oh dear... I forgot when I started my last batch 0.o I suppose I'll just have to do daily taste tests until it's just right ^_^

Sheesh, not a lot of love for real estate agents here... Speaking as one, for the love of god and all things holy get representation. 1. Depending on what state you're in, there are anywhere from 75 to 120 SEPARATE steps that need to happen between inking the contract and getting the...

Leadgolem, When I pasteurized my wine, it settled out exactly like yours. I pour the clear stuff off the top and save the milk for seconds. It's a completely different experience. :)

^^This, please. If you're going to "test" yourself, get it done professionally, under the direction of a medical professional. The test looks for signs that your immune system is reacting to the proteins. If you're not consuming gluten, you won't have the antibodies and the test is...

Yes, anyone has. I thought I went blind, but it turns out I was just buried under blankets 0.o

No reason you couldn't, if they're glass. You might want to dose it with Kmeta to help guard against oxidation. Plastic may not work as well. Do a search on it to find out why some people get militant about it. No it will not. The wine bottles won't hold the pressure of carbonation, and...

Absolutely nothing. Seriously, yeast get performance anxiety sometimes, especially when you're stressing. Chill out and have a glass of wine. If you're really worried you can compare today's SG to tomorrow's. Also, airlock activity isn't an indication of fermentation activity. Buckets...
