Good call, I hadn't thought of it that way but definitely better safe than sorry! Might be better to just bottle them in beer bottles and just have more to share/ cellar. Thanks.

For this one I would be happy with it mildly sparkling, but all I've read recommends against any carbonation in wine bottles :(. I damn sure don't feel like cleaning anymore bottles and the champagne bottles aren't cheap IIRC.

I've got a mead I've had kegged a while and it's ready to bottle now. I like it sparkling but I've only been saving wine bottles, do you think this will present a problem? I didn't prime it and it's under about 10 psi now. I was going to purge excess co2 then bottle with a slow flow. Has...

I was hoping to arrange a trade for something I can't get locally, but I'm glad to know the rules of the forum. Thanks Yooper.

I feel your pain! I live in Atlanta and we have some good beers around but none of the major trade requests. Im gonna try to grab as much of the sweet water danktoberfest as I can once I find it. Hopefully I'll be able to trade some. If you want anything from this area I'm happy to help...

Perfect, that keeps it easy. Did you double pitch the 5g notty packets? I noticed the fermentis packets are 11g each do I was wondering if they had diff sizes.

I'm gonna be putting this one in the works here soon and hopefully I will experience the same results you guys have. I'm going to the brew store today and I'm going to choose a yeast for this batch. I've got a few questions and I'd like some advice if you can help. I've currently got a wee...

Is this common in keezer builds? I'm curious as I'm looking to build one soon and want to plan for this.

Im interested in the conical where are you located?

Mead only gets better with time if stores and conditioned properly. The first batch I ever made was a strawberry ginger sparkling mead which tasted like gross dimeatap elixir after a year! I was bummmmmmmmed. I forgot about it and try it every year when I go home (it's still in my parents...

I once had something similar happen when I was a new brewer. I took hydrometer readings that weren't adjusted to temp 68F (much hotter) and my gravity readings were way off. Don't panic. Don't worry about abv or blending beers if you don't need to. Relax. Give it time and see what you've created.

I made a DIPA with the Pliny hop schedule but added different hops. To Tomorrow I'm making a scotch ale maybe a wee heavy, can't decide.

Thanks! just wanted to get what i needed in one shot.

Hey guys, Ive been kegging a long time and I've just been making due with one gas hose to charge 3 kegs to about 10psi and then just top them up as needed. A long time ago I knocked my C02 tank and reg over and it sat on live pressure for a while. It jacked up the CO2 pressure gauge and froze...

Hey guys. Did yall ever get together and get an informal brewers club going? I know I'm a little late to the party but let me know if any of yall in the area want to brew, get together, or swap some brews let me know. Brad

Hey everybody, I just whipped up a melomel today (I think). I've had 10lbs of costco clover honey with plans to make a mead for a while but didn't know what to do. I went to the store and this is what I ended up with. 6.5lbs of Kiwi .5lbs of white seedless grapes 10lbs clover honey...

Not sure if it's what you're looking for but a quick eBay search showed a guy selling marsh rosemary seed packets for 1$. I've had great success ordering heirloom tomato seeds and other garden seeds off eBay. Hope this helps.

Hey everybody. I just relocated to the Atlanta Georgia area on the north east side by the Mall of Georgia. I was wondering if there were any brew clubs around or any brewers and cool pubs to check out. Also looking for a good brew store in the area! Thanks Brad

Hey Malfet, I neglected to mention that the whole point of this was to freeze the yeast so I can store them for a long time.

Hey sorry if it's been addressed I read pages 1-25 on the thread earlier and searched a bit. My question is this. I filled my jars to wash yeast with tap water and capped them in ball jars then boiled them. Will this water kill my yeast if I wash with it? My tap ph is 8ish and I don't have a...
