I am planning on doing a 3 gallon batch tomorrow unless i hear otherwise. i asked Joe at the Marion, IA HBS, he said he's not sure, but it will probably take a while to clear out, then a while for the alcohol to blend taste with the fruit. But he has not done it personally.

Has anyone made wine from juice concentrate? i.e. welches strawberry peach juice concentrate? I plan on trying it, and using potassium metabisulphate potassium sulfite isinglass bensonite any thoughts before I try it?

Steve Urkel comes to mind :-) Don't get down on yourself, your the person who will be better at this than anyone on the face of the planet, if you stick with it.

And don't forget GE is the company which paid $0 in taxes in 2011, $0, that means everyone in this forum paid more in taxes than the multi-billion dollar company GE. Lowes has one for 189, I'm pretty sure it was 179 in the store though, and it's made by holiday.

ok, i'll get the 6.5 gallon carboy. makes sense on the gauges. What I meant by taps is one on the keg, and a dispenser (miller high life:-( The rubber gaskets are the ones that go on the keg tap, but also the one on the long threaded part of the dispenser tap which connects the line from the keg.

super sweet pot sr20steve. I'm going with the 22 qt from walmart for $60. It has a lid and the tri-clad bottom.

I just purchased: 1. Holiday 5 cu. ft freezer from lowes $117 delivered, still should have purchased the bigger one. 2. Johnson A419 external thermostat. $55 ebay 3. 5 lb. co2 tank, regulator, gauges (I'm not sure how to interpret them yet), taps,lines, 6-1.5 litre wine bottles, 12 beer...

Another great thermometer is the Cen-Tech laster thermometer. My last job had a thermally controlled room, and the Cen-Tech thermometers are accurate to around 8 feet....surprising considering they're from harbor frieght. I have personally tried 5 of them, and they were all within .2 degrees...

Just dropped in to the BIY Home brew supply in Marion, great prices (cheaper than Hy-Vee), great selection, and great organization. He even has the malts organized from lightest to darkest :-) Joe really knows his stuff too, he's a part of the local Beer Nuts club, and has obviously dedicated...

you get what you pay for.

I think I understand your theory for placing the thermometer in water, but i think you might need a slight change. I have not brewed anything yet, I'm still purchasing equipment, and the A419 is next. If my understanding is correct you want the temperature of the beer to change slowly and...

dunerunner's suggestion is way better than the pots on ebay. His suggestion has a 3 layer bottom, including a 5mm aluminum layer, surrounded by stainless steel. The ones on ebay are just 1.0mm or 1.2mm thick bottoms.

I know this is a really old thread, but for reference purposes I would like to add Polar Pure to the iodine list. It is a glass bottle of iodine crystals. You simply add 4 ounces of water and it makes 4 ounces of iodine, you then pour that 4 ounces into the water which needs to be sanitized...

funny you mention that about china, the companies I have worked for have ALL had the toughest time getting parts to fit from over there. Sure 1 part will get here ok, but if you need 2 parts to mesh up in any way, they screw it up. It is as if they have a fake factory you visit, then out...

I have searched hi and low for supply stores in eastern Iowa. The Hy-Vee in Coralville on the strip has carboys, yeast, hops, sanitizer, and several other necesities, but it is limited. i.e. they don'e have pots, copper coils, bottles, caps, anything mechanical for that matter, etc. Does...

I cannot find what standards it complies with, i.e. iso 60601, astm 1114, etc. But it does say it comes with a certificate. Place it in ice water, it should be 32 on the nose, then place it in boiling water, should be 212 on the nose, if it is not send it back. I bet it is a good one though...

Total cholesterol does not indicate anything IGNORE THIS Total is a sum of HDL and LDL If your doctor argues with this get a new doctor, hell, have him contact me, I'll put him in his place. your LDL is what you need to be concerned with. If your LDL is high, then your cholesterol is more than...

Noda and Birdsong were a lot of fun too. Noda had 26 females, and 12 males........... I overheard someone at Birdsong saying they are purchasing all new equipment. As of right now they only keg, so maybe they will be bottling soon too. If you go, eat from the trailer out front, it is two guys...
