Hey, I am going to make a cherry wheat beer. I have the beer all set ready to bottle. My plan was to add a couple tsp of cherry syrup to each bottle then fill each one. My question is...do I need to add priming sugar to get carbonation. The reason I ask is because the cherry syrup is...

Hey Guys, So I want to make a cherry wheat. For the cherry flavor I was planning on using maraschino cherry juice (either in secondary or add it to each bottle when I actually bottle the beer). I was doing some research online and have read multiple comments saying cherry puree is better...

Hello everyone, So I am going to be making beer for a wedding this coming up fall. I was talking with the groom and he does not want to do a pumpkin beer for the wedding. What other fall beers could I try to make for the wedding that have a fall flavor. (I can only do ales at this time, no...

Hey everyone, So my brother and I have been brewing now for 3-4 years. We have only done ales so far. However, I now have a spare refrigerator to use. My brother and I talked it over and because we now have all the proper equipment we would like to try our first lager. Does anyone have any...

Hey Everyone, I have been brewing for 5 years now. I have been using kits and using malt extract. I feel I am finally ready to move onto all grain brewing. I will be up front about this...I am a little intimidated about doing this. The only reason I got the courage is because I found a...

Hey Everyone, So I will be upfront about it. I am VERY new to making wine. I normally brew beer but have finally decide to branch out into wine making. I have made a couple of batches of red wine. I don't make it from the grapes, I go to a local store and buy 6 gallons of juice. I have...

Hey guys, Last week my brother and I brewed a light german ale from a true-brew kit. I waited all week before I posted this just to make sure I wasn't over reacting. I have brewed before and I have personally never experienced this, so I was just looking for some advice. Look at the...

Hey everyone, So first let me preface this by saying I am pretty sure this post is a waste of my time. I don't think this is going to help me out but I am out of options. Ok, so about a year ago (more like 4/09-5/09) I was on the forum and someone posted directions on how to build a...

Hello everyone, Last Saturday (11/28) I brewed a batch and unfortunately am getting a little concerned. There has been no activity since then. I was trying to troubleshoot what went wrong and the only thing I can think of is that the yeast (Wyeast Activator stored in my fridge) no not...

Hello everyone. This past weekend I started another batch of apfelwein. This time I was given the advice from multiple people of using champagne yeast. I went to my local homebrewing supply and they hooked me up with a pack of dry yeast. here is the exact yeast I used: Red Star Wine Yeasts 5...

I have seen a lot of pictures and have heard a lot about making a kegerator out of a Sanyo 4912. I tried to do a search in the DIY thread but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone have specific directions (preferably with pictures) on the process of making a kegerator out of the Sanyo 4912...

So in a couple of weeks I am going to be bottling my Apfelwein. I was wondering what kind of adjuncts you guys have experimented with. Obviously all of these adjuncts would be added when bottling, since the fermentation is already over with. I was thinking of experimenting a couple bottles with...

Hey guys. So my brother and I are looking into getting a kegerator this summer. We were going to initially going to build it but then I came upon this: Haier Kegerator HBF05EABB-2 Keg Beer Tap | BeverageFactory.com Brew Logic Dual Tap Draft System- with Reconditioned CO2 Tank :: Midwest...

Hey guys. So I started a batch of Ed Wort's Apfelwein one month ago. I checked up on it today it everything looks fine. I was told as soon as I turns clear it is ready to bottle. I took some pictures hopefully you can tell me if you think I am close to it being done. I don't know if just by...

Hello again. So this past weekend I bottled my hefeweizen. I just finished bottling and finally decided to clean out my carboy. I noticed the yeast cake on the bottom and make a quick split decision to see if I could try to save it. My parents jar tomato sauce so I ended up getting a jar and lid...

Hey guys, So about two weeks ago I started a batch of apfelwein. I have noticed that it is not bubbling as vigorously as it was before. Is this normal? By two weeks in does the vigorous bubbling (fermentation) start to slowly decline until I reach the 4 week mark when I will bottle? Thanks

Hey guys. I tried making my first batch of Apfelwein this weekend. Everyone on this forums loves it so I figured I would give it a shot. I seemed to have run into a little problem. I am curious what you guys think. I filled my 5 gallon carboy to the very top. I think I may have over-filled it...

Hey guys, Just so you know, I did do a search on this forum before posting. I typed in SG, OG, specific gravity...etc. I either got no results at all or so many posts that were not tailored towards my question. If I missed one I apologize. I don't mean to clog up the threads. Anyway...
