so from what the article says you should be able to use any magnets. just don't flip them over I would think if you get the polarity reversed good aged wine would suddenly get a younger and undrinkable

If you use a home made carb cap with a tire valve stem you could just put a spliter on your reg and run a hose with an air chuck on it to fill your 2l bottles you may need shut off valves for each line so you can shut off your kegs while you fill the bottles because I usually force carb mine @...

I am hoping to bottle soon any help would be great

so I'm not crazy, I saw right well I'm not to sure about it either so I'll wait to hear if anyone has ever had success with one.

is there a recommended temp to age, I keep hearing " in a cool dark place" I'm just wondering what is not cool enough? also I have an old fridge that I could use to let my mead age but I'm not sure if that would be to cool would it be better to bottle age or bulk age or is there no difference...

I was in my local HBC browsing around and I saw a product on the shelf. it said age wine in just hours. I didn't get the name of it but from what I could tell it was a big magnetic base that you sat your bottle on and some sort of metal cup goes on the top of your bottle. my first thought was...

I have never used ale yeast and I may be wrong but I think the tolerance is not high enough. what I am learning is that meads usually have higher alcohol 10-17% and the ale yeast may not survive . if I wrong one of the pros will be on soon and correct me ( I'm not a pro by any means just going...

how often should I stir how long before apple cider is drinkable

I just want the smell gone

well I've done lemonade and yes it was tough so here's a better question would you make it again or is the time not worth the taste

has anyone tried fermenting store bought iced tea? how did it turn out?

yes by rack I meant siphon it to a new container and get it off the lees I'm still pretty new to this hobby I thought the second container was call "rack" thanks for clarifying that I thought i read here that apple cider could be ready to drink in a week or two or does that mean you can drink...

now I'm more confused a friend of mine is doing the exact same thing with the same yeast and his batches are fine can temp or humidity have affects on the process I am making mine in the basement where it is around 70 he is in an upstairs apartment where it is warmer but I thought the lower...

are you talking about a little smell or a real rotten egg smell the apple juice fermented dry in 4 days. do you think I should rack it for a week and see if it changes. I don't know how the smell will escape it's dry and the air lock is completely motionless. I also tried a 2L batch of...

could it have anything to do with the plastic juice bottles I just smelled the other batches and they all smell that bad is it likely that they are all stressed
