thanks so much...

does anyone know what mash setting i use if i want to fly sparge with beersmith?]

Sorry everyone. I like your effort on famous people that went to your high school. Hopefully this will trump all, if not for just the fact that I am going to admit this. I graduate from the same high school as Billy Ray Cyrus...King of all that is Mullett!!!

thank you all. I was just afraid some strange acid or something was in it and I wouldn't be able to take advantage. Thank you all.

my father in law is a high school science instructor and his school district is moving him into their new high school...this past week he found a couple of older and smaller carboys in his supply closet which were empty...he has offered them to me but i don't know what has previously been in...

i am bottling

I wasn't paying attention when I made my EdWort's Apfelwein and made approximately 21 quarts of of Apfelwein rather than 20 (5 gallons). So will I be able to prime with the normal five gallon amount of priming solution or how much should I add to get it properly carbonated?

Today I bottled my Newcastle clone and this is my third "real" beer. After I sanitized everything, including priming sugar, I poured the cooled sugar solution into the bottling bucket. Once I began my siphon a weird sorta fog/smokiness began to come from the bucket. The same thing happened as I...

could you make a five gallon batch just by multiplying your recipe by 5....sorry for the ignorant question, but i've never made any wine

i was wondering if its okay to do the apfelwein with other fruit juices.. of course, it wouldn't be an "apfel" wein per se, but still might be tasty...i was thinking pear juice might be tasty too...

does that mean you can wait until saturday night and have fourteen servings and still be cool for the week...hahah
