Really slow hydro reads 1.105 from 1.125 going to need some real patients on this one.

I have made batches at this A.B.V. before, nowhere as strong as a mead, most meads are 18-20% and are like rocket fuel till aged. This stuff will stay a little sweet and sneak up on you if you are not careful. Just a really strong beer. I have never had any last long enough to age significantly...

Just started new batch 8 lbs white granulated sugar, 2lbs dark brown sugar, 2 oranges, 2 lemons, 8 key limes, 16 whole cloves 8oz skinned chopped ginger root, 5.5gal batch total volume. O.G. 1.076 right at the 10% est A.B.V. Mark. Will try to rack off and bottle @ 1.025 and let it finish in the...

Well this batch is going but fermentation is really slow. This is going to take a while.

I have had good success using raw fruits. Most wines and beers I make use only wild natural yeasts from the fruits.

Silly app still learning how to use.

Well something went wrong and the batch never got started. Pitched the whole thing, starting over. No frozen berries this time just frozen juice concintrate. I made sure and read the label to make sure no preservatives. Using 8 11.5 oz frozen juice concentrate ~2gal filtered water. 1 apple...

I add 2 , 12oz cans of apple juice frozen concentrate just before bottling. It will carb up nicely after a few weeks un refrigerated. I did not take gravity readings this time but the last batch yielded about 8% A.B.V.

I will let you know in a few weeks. Had some cranberry wine at Coopers Hawk resturant/winery and had to try to make it.

Just started a new batch. I prefer to make caveman juice, ie. even a caveman could or may have done it. I use a couple organic apples sliced with the skin on added to 1/2 gal apple juice. Shaken daily for the first three to four days under an airlock until fermentation is noted through the...

Hi I just started a batch of cranberry wine. Only my fourth ever wine making. Used 3 3/4 lbs frozen cranberrys 4 lbs table sugar I let the berries thaw mixed with the sugar and crushed them with a potato smasher the next day added 1gal. Of filtered water. Let sit over night smashed again added...

I have made this several times by creating a starter as described on the following link. http://mistyhorizon2003.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Grow-Your-Own-Ginger-Beer-Plant I have simplified the starter by blending a 2oz piece of raw organic ginger with a cooled simple sugar of 4cups water...

Yes making hard cider is that easy. I just blend in a blender an organic apple in frozen reconstituted apple juice, add some brown sugar and let it go. It is ready in about 4-6 weeks and sometimes I add priming sugar and bottle in 16 oz plastic soda bottles. Makes nice fizzy hard cider in a few...

Stumbled across the site looking for ideas how to clean my ginger beer plant as I let it ferment with all the solids still in the wart.
