Ive had some really good rhubarb wine, but not sure how you actually make it, one guy i talked to said he freezes the rhubarb. Just make sure you throw the nutrient in 1/3 of the way through fermentation.

I dont remember the p/n but i would try to get the thickest material you can, and also one with the smallest holes. Also get one thats got the most open area %. The stainless i got seamed kinda thin to use in my large tank, but i think it will work great in a keg or other type of MT. I got a...

Hey i am building a FB for my keg and a large 75 gallon stainless tank. I got some perforated stainless from mcmaster and am having it cut with a CNC from a welder. the stainless cost $100 and cutting will be $40. I will be getting one 25 in circle, and 2 14 in circles. I would bet you could get...

Hey i am just curious what removing the hot break does? I have never heard of that before, but there must be a reason for it.

i figured that, the only problem is that i don't have the data for Magnesium, so i added a little, but i don't know really where its at.

I found a test from our city water in 2008, i think i am just going to brew with that water until i find out what the water test is with out the filter i am going through. Would you take a look at this profile? My Mg is low, but i dont think they have it in the test. Manganese is not the same...

I guess i got the Total alkalinity mixed up with the total hardness, total hardness is 3 on the water test.

I totally agree with you, i was so bummed out when i got my lab test back. The weird thing about the Mg is that the lab test said it was below detection levels. U think i should just have the carbon block filter coming from the main line? Our place is in the country, so the water has some iron...

Basically i am wondering if i need to mix water to lower the sodium, or if the level will be unnoticeable? Also if i go through a soft water filter is it going to fluctuate all the time? every time the filter flushes out with brine will the first few uses have a much higher sodium level? Any...

I need some help on adjusting my water, should i blend with bottled water? this is what i have for my water profile and adjustments i am going to make for my Dry Stout. My water goes through a soft-water filter, and carbon block. I sent in water to ward lab, and got the results back, but i...

any time i mess up a batch or dont like the way it turns out i distill it :) I use my MT to do it in works well, someday i will post a video of it, but i need to get a licence for it first.

I still think our way is best:) I don't take an hour to fly sparge, more like 1/2, but i have never timed it so i don't know for sure. I use pbw to clean and circulate it during my boil, and then flush with water when i am done. So basically we are arguing over who wants to spend more time on...

I circulate with water and then dump it making sure everything is clean, then add the amount of water i need, and set my rims to my calculated strike temp. You can calculate this in beer smith by measuring the grain temp and volume. If you heat your strike water in the MT then you dont have to...

by the time you buy all the parts, and fittings you will have spent close to 50, why not get something nice that will work great and be easy to clean and take apart. Its only gona cost a few extra bucks, just don't eat at burger king for lunch, and take a pb&j for a week.

why dont you use something like this?

Ive had the same problem, first order shipped, but my second one, was lost in la la land for 2 weeks. Had to call and re order

You might be able to add some acid back to the wine, just use Tartaric acid, It might give it a boost from you adding too much water. Also you could add some tannin powder or oak chips to give it some tannin, and more flavor. If you added too much water you will have lowered the acid, and alcohol.

With the Controller i have i cannot pulse my rims, so it powers on 100% do you guys know how i can build something i can put in-between my DC input to the ssr to pulse it manually?

We have to take all out cuttings from the year and either remove them from the vineyard, or burn them. They usually have black rot spores, and many other rot spores that could potently f up you whole crop. We spray fungicides a lot during flowering period of the grapes because this is when the...

Check this out and make your decisions based on where you are located for climate. If you have any other questions about growing grapes, or making wine out of Hybrid grapes let me know. I grow about 3600 plants of 8 different French America hybrids.
