Anyone??

Thanks! Your replies answered all of my questions. I am looking at the Lalvin yeast just now and I'm ordering some for my next batch of apple wine :-).

Thanks for your quick reply :-). I added nutrient to the apple wine and I shook it vigorously on brew day to oxygenate it. I also rehydrated the yeast before pitching it. I will look up Lalvin yeast since I am brewing mead as well. One thing that bothers me about my mead though.. It takes so...

Hi there. I bought some BIOFERM champagne yeast and I am brewing some apple wine with it. It's been going for 3+ weeks now and it is about 14.7%. I am wondering why the last 4% have been fermenting so slow when it went alot faster with the first 10%? It says that the yeast has an alcohol...

Hi there! My question is: If i make a batch of something, in this case wine, and i do a gravity reading, what should i do in regards of calculating ABV if i add more sugar or some water a week later? Or if i add a starter? Thanks!

I used baker's yeast. It tastes like it has a kick to it! It's been going for around 16 days now.

Thanks for you reply! It is in a 3 liter container. I have added 1.3-1.5 kg of honey and the rest is water. I started off with only 400 grams of honey and added the rest when the fermentation halted. So i just assumed approximately half of it was honey.

This tool is so awesome! Thanks a bunch! I hope many more labels will be coming soon!

Hi everyone. I'm about to order some equipment and yeast for making a few gallons of good ol' mead - however most of the yeast spoken about in guides and in here is not available to me in my country. What is available, however, is some yeast called BIOFERM and some other brands. Has anyone in...

Thanks Medsen!

Thanks for your reply, MedsenFey! I'm glad to hear that head space is irrelevant during primary fermentation (I like big toys, hehe :-) ). When you say aging.. I thought aging was done when bottled? I am quite new to brewing mead so I'm sorry if the question is kind of newbish (which it...

Hi guys! I am in a situation where i have to choose between either a five liter, 16 liter vessel or a 32 liter one. I will only be brewing 5 - 10 liters of mead but since there are no homebrew stores in my town and the freight is VERY expensive im thinking of buying the 32 liter one - in case...
