What temp should this be left at?

The yeast strains are: Safale US-05 Safale WB-06

I just got back into brewing. I bought a American wheat kit and a honey wiezen kit from northern brewer. The instructions on both kits say the optimum fermentation temp is 54-74 degrees. I live in AZ so my house stays at 78 degrees in the day and 72 degrees at night. Is that ok or is it too hot?

I will take it!

I made a batch pretty quick (I was impatient) and it seems VERY acidic to me. Almost like it will give you some serious heartburn. I did use a generic lemon juice but am not sure if that is normal from skeeter pee.

I started my Skeeter pee on 5/3/11. I just checked it and its clear. Is it too early to rack it and backsweeten it?

Just stabilized my skeeter pee. It was really cloudy, I used super kleer to clarify it. My OG was 1.065 and FG was .998 so I am figuring 9% ABV. Sampled some and it was quite tasty! Looking forward to bottling it and having a few.

I just dumped it, didn't want to get sick.

The stuff floating is suspended in the Apelwein. Kind of blobby looking stuff, not at the bottom.

#1 I made some Apelwein about a year ago. I never added sorbate or kmeta. I looked at the bottles today and it has some stuff floating in it. Is it something that can be saved??? #2 I also made some Twisted Mist Mojito last summer and the bottles have sediment on the bottom. Just drink it...

Ok, so I am going to start a batch of Skeeter Pee soon. I just made a gallon of welchs grape juice wine (in a carlo rossi 1 gal bottle) and racked it into a secondary. I sanatized the lid and put it on, then put the entire primary (with the lees) in the fridge. Can I just pour it into my skeeter...

Does anyone have a one gallon reciepe for skeeter pee? I want to try it before brewing a big batch.

Where does sanitation come in with using a yeats slurry, adding yeast nutrient, and yeast energizer? Just curious because the yeast nutrient looks like it could hold some contamination.

Is it ok to use a HDPE #2 plastic carboy for secondary fermentation of a Orchard breezin wine? I know a lot of people say don't use it to bulk age, but these mist wines only sit in there for a couple weeks. What are your thoughts?

I have made both twistd mist kits and they seem REALLY sweet to me.

Not sure, my wife isn't really into mojitos but said it tastes good and its a good poolside drink

I just bottled mine and had a taste. It actually tasted pretty good, not 100% like a mojito but pretty close.

I bought RJ Spagnols wine conditioner to backsweeten my apfelwein. How much should I use and when should I add it to the wine? I have a 6 gallon batch going and its been in the carboy for a month.

I am about a month in and the taste is getting better!

Checked SG again and it is still 1.010. Added yeast energizer, not sure how long I should wait for now.
