I made some. How best to use them in wine or mead? Should I reconstitute them first? Add them in secondary as they are?

Thanks much for the information fatbloke :-) TAPPAR, That's exactly what I'm doing :-) Seems to be working great so far. It wakes back up pdq and starts chugging along nicely. No off flavors. Tastes very clean. I'm going to keep her going as long as I can. I never have cared much for wine, but...

I have used bread yeast for hard cider and ginger ale. The flavor is a little like beer to me which I don't mind in those beverages, but I didn't think a pyment would turn out very well with beer-ish flavor and aroma. The box of raisins said they were from either South Africa or California so...

Okay, please don't come down on me too hard. I haven't had a way to get to the closest Brew Supply Shop and I don't have much income. No hydrometer, no "real" yeast, except bread yeast. I saw online how people were making "raisin yeast water" for baking bread, so I thought I'd try it for...

Has anybody ever tried this or heard of anybody trying it? it just popped into my head as a possible combination. Any ideas on how I should go about it? What sort of honey should I use? I'm a newbie. Have my first pyment in secondary :-) Now I'm on a roll. Can't seem to stop.

Thanks very much for the welcomes. I shall definitely try the Edwort Apfelwein.

I've only been lurking for about a week. I made my 1st ever home brewed beverage a few days ago. Okay, so it's only ginger ale with lime but boy is it ever yummy! No more Coca Cola for me. I'm going to try making hard cider next. I'm ordering a hydrometer and some "real" yeast tomorrow but I...
