Drinking from the can I liked it but out of the glass I couldn't taste hops at all. I don't know if maybe one can was older or something. Anyway though I bought some hopshot and I'm going to make a ginger ale and add the hopshot into the warm water while dissolving my sugar. Probably about five...

Thanks, that helps a lot! Looks like I can probably make five gallons after all then. Very much appreciated!

I have a mesh bag, should I squeeze juice through it and throw the pulp out and then add a Camden tablet to juice and then nutrients and energizer next day?

There are 30 pounds and I have found online that on average 100 pounds is needed to make five gallons. I am expecting about two gallons or so.

I have never made grape wine but I recently discovered my parents have a lot of wild grapes, my parents bought the place from a relative and where told they are concord grapes so maybe they are not wild and were planted awhile ago, they have grown up some trees though and there are quite a few...

My skeeter pee as per the original recipe is about ten percent and it likes to sneak up and kick my ass. I would think a 14% yeast would be fine.

Newest batch I made with a splenda brown sugar mix. It was a lot sweeter than I expected but good though. I want to bottle next time, I used to make it in two liter bottles with bread yeast but I'm not sure with a five gallon batch how much yeast and how long to let it condition before I...

It was just right.

Could be, it is suppose to be a clone of bells two hearted ale though and that beer is 55ibu so I'm thinking that's right.

Part off the reason I decided to do that is because northern brewer says deadringer is 29ibu and two hearted ale is 55. When I put the recipe into my recipe creator app to save it, it estimated it at 55.9ibu though so apparently the 29ibu is a typo. I'm worried this will be to much now. About...

I didn't want to completely replace the bittering hops, I bought the kit so I might as well use everything that comes with it. I just wasn't sure if I wanted to add the bittering hops to one of the other hop editions or maybe add them to the dry hops. I ended up leaving them where they where...

My skeeter pee had one pound of BlackBerrys in primary and I'm planning on backsweeten with the frozen strawberry concentrates. I picked up four. My wife wants a sweet dessert type strawberry wine so that's what I'm going for.

I may pick up an ale yeast for this one though.

I just brewed up a five gallon batch of a bells two hearted ale clone and kept about a third of a gallon of wort out to give room in my five gallon carboy. I decided to mix the extra with an equal part kombucha same as I did with the skeeter pee. I'm hoping for the best.

I recently brewed a small batch experiment that turned out great and I thought I would share. I made a batch of skeeter pee a couple weekend ago and had a little to much for my carboy so in a gallon jar like I use for kombucha I mixed 2 parts skeeter pee must with one part kombucha. I didn't add...

I add pumpkin puree to my Apple wine, it don't taste like pumpkin but it does improve the flavor and it seems to make it much clearer for some reason. I don't use anything to try to clear it up.

I didn't leave enough room in my carboy to add the third bottle of lemon juice, I put the last of the nutrients and energize in and about a third of the bottle of lemon juice but had no room to shake it up. I'm planning to rack to secondary in a couple days and add the rest of the lemon juice...

Anyone use this for flavor yet? I bought a few to experiment with and I want to use one for a non beer, I was thinking of maybe using it to bitter a hard cider by boiling it in the sugar syrup I make to add to cider and bump the abv, our maybe making a hop soda and adding it for flavor. Either a...

That does sound good.

I just bought some hopshot to experiment with. I also picked up a couple dead ringer (bells two hearted clone) kits. I have a clone recipe for hop stoopid I was going to brew but I am thinking about adding it to one of the dead ringer kits instead I'm just not sure if I should keep the rest of...
