Can the taps be interchanged between the TAD and the Coors/Miller? ie, Can the coors tap be screwed onto the TAD and can the TAD tap be screwed onto the Coors/Miller?

Ok, Thanks Yooper. I will give it another shot when I can.

Yooper, I just checked the instructions with the Mist Kit and they say the orginal gravity is supposed to be 1.048 - 1.052

I put both of these samples in the fridge and I am waiting for them to get cold. Maybe they will taste better cold...

I added the F-pack about 30 minutes after the sorbate and k-meta. Yooper what temperature do you recommend? I just bought a temperature controller for my fridge, so I will be able to control it in the future. It is very possible that the 1.042 was incorrect since the temperature was off, and I...

I forgot to add that I can taste the green apple and the riseling. There is just what I call a "harsh" alcohol taste. More like drinking a mixed drink that has way to much liquer in it. Maybe I should not have bumped up the alcohol. Maybe it is just me. Or maybe it is something that happened...

So It is time to bottle this kit and tried a sample today. I was not happy with the results. It was not sweet as so many people says it is supposed to be, and the alcohol dominates the drink. It leaves what I call a "harsh" alcohol tastes in mouth after I drink it. I did raise the alcohol in the...

So when I attach the temp probe to the fermentation bucket. Do I want the set temperature to be 62F or around 58F to compensate for the higher fermentation temp? In other words does the wort need to be at 62F or does the outside of the bucket need to be at 62F?

I have a small mini fridge that can only hold one fermenter. I am going to buy a controller for it next time I make an order. I will be brewing all ales. To keep my pipline moving faster, can I ferment for one week in the fridge and then move it out of the fridge into my 72 degree house? Would...

Thanks for the help. So about a month is the best I should expect lme in the "milk jugs" to last?

If I only need half of the lme to make a batch, can I save the the other half of the lme for later. How long would it last in the fridge? Should I freeze it?

Yes it was an extract. It was 3 lb liquid and 1 lb dry. I like the idea of putting the bag on the output. It will probably be close to the weekend before I get a chance to bottle, so one more week in the secondary and then I guess two more to condition. Thanks for the tips and I will post how it...

I just tried it, and it tastes good for a warm flat beer. :ban: Can't wait to try it with some carb and ice cold. Do you think if I put a nylon mesh bag over my auto-siphon, it will keep the floaties from being sucked up into the bottles?

Its been two weeks in the glass and not much has changed. Its still fairly dark for a light beer. Is that because the pellet hops boiled into the wert and/or the honey I added? Also the "floaties" are still there as you can see in the pics. There are a few co2 bubbles in the pick, but 90% of...

Did anyone brew the extract version of this? Did it turn out good?

I keep them in the dark, and the ambient in my house is around 72. I kept the alcohol lower on these at about 10%, and depending on how they turn out I will see about raising it next time. Did you use concentrates or fresh fruit? I don't like the "traditional wines" that are dry or the...

I am new to wine making and I have not even bottled any of the batches I have made so far, but I had to try my hand at skeeter pee. Here is what I have done so far. Can't wait to try these. I used the yeast cake from a green apple reisling kit which used puree cuvee. I have not seen many posts...

:off: Since this is my first muscadine wine and I love posting pictures, :D Here are a few more. The first is the juice that I got out of the muscadines without using a press. All I have is a potato masher and the process was messy... The second pic is after I added the water. And the third pic...

Here is a picutre I took on the 16th, so 8 days after I posted the first pictures. Alot of the color has come back, and the sparkolloid has definatly been working. :D I havent tasted it yet, but at least the color has come back. Next time I will wait longer before stabilizing as you suggested...
