Update, at day 6, I went into town to get more yeast to bump start this wine, when I got back, almost like it knew I was going to try and jump start it, there was the beginning signs of fermentation. Let her go till yesterday, scooped the fruit out and transferred to a carboy. She definitely...

No way! As messy as it was, me and the wife laughed for about 10 minutes before I started cleaning up. It was behind us as we were watching TV, and suddenly we heard a BUMPH!, then what sounded like a 1/20 scale jet engine spooling up to full power, I had no idea what was going on, the my wife...

I had raisin bits get flicked up into the stem of an airlock and plug it up during a second fermentation on a banana wine. Luckily, I had a garbage bag over the carboy to keep out light, so when it finally pressured the airlock out, it made a "Wacky Waving Arm Inflatable Tube Guy" out of the...

Thanks HB, that was a good read.

Hi Yooper, plain,on sale strawberries and plums from the grocery store. Should I give it a couple days then add a yeast starter? Maybe a heat tape? Chris

Hey all, started a strawberry plum 2 gallon 4 days ago, first 24 hours was the Camden tablets (2) in the must doing their thing. Added yeast the next day and no fermentation yet. Stirred once a day for the past 2 days. Reading the forum, I see that maybe having the lid on during the Camden...

I had a batch of LME kit beer, that due to work, had to leave in the bucket for a month. When I got back, it had a white skim on the top, and a bit of an MDF smell to it. I hoped it would sort itself out in the bottles, so I primed it and bottled.....what a mistake! 2 weeks later I open one...

I bought 6 of these bottles, 3 different batches of beer with no problems. The first 2 bottles held a LME IPA, that I filled, put in the closet with a towel over them and waited to hear a muffled explosion. All went well, held pressure and no bang, so I will buy more. Just like having a few...

It is, Toronto ON, thanks for the lead. Chris

Welcome from across the mountains! Just joined this forum last week and I am hooked. Lots of good info here. BTW, I have been doing 5 gal beer brews in my kitchen no problem, not as daunting as you may think. Once you brew your own, it is hard to go back to store bought. Edit, just saw you...

Hey all, looking for some Canadian input, looking for some yeast balls in Canada, looking on EBay, the minimum shipping was $15 from the States, looking for something more affordable from Canada, nothing local for Asian food except Mr Noodles from the grocery store.

Hi all, been making kit wine for about 10 years, but started dabbling in homemade about a year and a half ago, first attempt was a 3 gallon Mongolian cherry, that after a year surpassed any store bought kit ever, turned out a decent 2 gallon peach and an awesome 5 gallon banana that is about 5...
