I checked the sg today and it's 1.000 and still going strong. This stuff took off like a rocket. I'm thinking about putting it in a secondary ferminter. It's really light in color and it really cloudy and has a strong sour dough type smell. About how long will it take for it to clear up.

It was .998. Yeah it's carbonated now.

After bottling it I drank several 12oz bottles. When my beer was ready I started drinking it. It's been 3 weeks sense I drank one of the margarita wine so I got one of the bottles and it was hard as a rock. Wth I put potassium sorbate in it. Did I not put enough in it.

I'm making another batch. The 1st 2 gallons came out good and I had to make a 6 gallon batch. It's been 3 weeks now it seams like it's taking longer than I was expecting. The starting gravity was 1.062 and has been at 1.042 for a week now. The bubbles in the airlock slowed down to like 2-3...

Good to know. Thanks.

Awesome thanks. My back gets to killing me from leaning over the sink to wash the bottles. That'll save a lot of time.

I've brewed a few kits from Mr beer trying to find one that I like. When I empty a bottle I rince it out set it aside to dry. When I bottle again I wash the bottle with hot water then use the 1step sanitizer. This might be a stupid ? but, if I rince it out after drinking the beer do I need to...

Ok thanks. Ratio is one thing I'm not good at. I'll have to get my oldest kid to help me figure it out. Thanks again.

I did 1.060-0.998 and got 0.063. Then 0.062*131 and got 8.122. I'm not following you onhow to figure it up after adding the liquid. I added about 3qrts to it to have a total of 2and 3/4 gallons. Oh man, call me stupid cause I feal stupid. I'm not sure how to figure up the abv after adding the...

I got the wine sweetened and bottled. It taste more like limade than margarita but it's still good. I had to use 2 cans of the concentrate to get rid of that chemical taste and put 2 cups of sugar in it. I ended up with 2 3/4 gallons. I checked the gravity reading and it went down to 3% from 8%...

The abv was 8.2%, that was before sweetening it. Topped it off to 2.5 Gallons from 2 g. I added 1 can of concentrate and 2 cups of sugar. It has that warming feeling when you drink it and my wife said it's too strong. I dont want to add to much and bring the abv down to far. Can I measure the...

Well, after a week of having the sorbate in it. I finaly have the time to sweeten it.

oh ok. After I add the sorbate how long do I need to wait before back sweetening.

Ok thanks but this one isn't intended to be clear, its going to be like a hard lemonaid but noncarbenated.

I sure will. I'll be transfering it from its current cantainer to another to strain the pulp out of it. Then back sweeten it and add another can of the concentrate. When should iput in the potassium sorbate. And about how much for 2.5 Gallons.

Ok thanks. That's great to know. I made it for my wife and was worried it wasn't going to be good to drink.

I made a 2.5 gal. batch of margarita wine and it's finished ferminting, no airlock activity. It's been a couple of days sense it finished. Now there is bubbles on the top of it and it has a chemical taste with an aftertaste. Has it gone bad? If not, what can I do to get rid of the chemical taste.

Ok thanks for the info. It's a 2.5 gallon batch. I use the Mr beer keg. I use the packet that comes with the refill kits.

Ok thanks. When I started I used a little bit of warm water and a little bit of sugar, let the sugar desolve then added the yeast. Let that sit for bout an hour, or till I finished prepping and getting everything set up. When everything was in the keg I poured in the yeast. The water was still...

I'm on my 2nd brew of beer, but my 3rd brew altogether. I'm brewing the Deluxe American Ale. It's been 2 weeks now and there is no activity, It's time to bottle. My first brew was hazy when I bottled it. This brew is clear, is that going to affect it on carbonation. Will I need it add more...
