I'm doing a bit more brewing than I'm used to at the moment with beer. My sister has a wedding coming toward the end of November and wants me to brew some stuff for it. So I have two 10 gallon batches going. I recently moved over one of these batches into 2 five gallon containers ( I also did...

Well this is a pickle I didn't intend on. Right now I have a melomel that's sat in a primary bucket for a month. I need to transfer it to secondary and begin its second fruit addition which it will sit on for 1 month. I also have a cider which has sat in secondary carboy for a month. My...

Buying tons of honey gearing up for a few meads, cyser and melomel here and the two projects I'd like to return too and have another go at are the ones I've had some success at but a lot of sad attempts. Bochet being one, Braggot the other. out of 3 braggots only had one come out pretty...

Cleaning out my brew closet listening to Fallout 3 music I came across 3 forgotten bottles of an attempt at a Cinnamon Cyser. It was bottled around 4/13. Crystal clear yellow up until you reach the bottom which seemed to have a layer of god knows what that lingered from the Krudsen Apple Juice I...

This may come off as a rant but bare with me here. 11 years ago after my family moved from California to Washington and we saw their home literally over run with wild blackberries. They talked about making jam and cobbler. My cousin told me we could turn those into booze. This cousin took...

So short version of the situation is thus. After a buddy if mine I helped get into homebrewing ordered a keg system for himself, he didn't realize his wife got him one for his birthday. So I now inherited a new co2 tank/regulator and keg to add to my gear. I have no idea what I'm going to do...

Planned two brews and a fun brew day before going on vacation for a week in Seaside OR(just got back) Before I left I ordered some stuff from NorthernBrewer and told my roommate to expect two packages. I'd forgotten about ordering some Wyeast 1028 with the first package, but knew and told my...

A while back I posted asking for help with a proposed keezer build. Very basic. I was falling in love with the possibilities of personal touches and essentially making it my own creation. However thanks to what I had hoped was originally an improbability drive but turned out to be my better half...

Browsing threads for a while and did the same when ordering my keg setup, here is the basics of what I am putting together. Holiday 7.0 cu ft freezer from Lowes $189 A419 Temperature controller from NB $79 Deluxe 2 tap system from Midwest Supplies $355...

Kind of winged this as a 1gal experiment, 3lbs 'burnt' meadowfoam honey 1lb CaraAroma 1 vanilla bean 1gal water D47yeast Primary fermentation is over and done with, I planned on adding 1 vanilla bean to secondary and I came across a bag of 4oz cocoa nibs from a friend. I'd debated...

Sorry if I should've posted this elsewhere but figured it was still worth a shot. I am brewing the extract version of Gunslingers Graff(recipe herehttp://brewingtv.com/recipe/2012/9/18/gunslingers-graff.html) and on hand I have 2gals of distilled water which I thought was spring initially. If I...

Sitting here enjoying the last bottle of my cider experiment I started back in October. The first attempt was done with myself and the GF both making 1gallon using two different yeast. The experiment would have gone great if we had carbonated properly but as it happens we didn't mix well enough...

So part of me believes that what is pictured below in my 5gal of meadowfoam mead is actually yeast moved over from primary into the secondary and I shouldn't worry. While the redheaded stepchild in me is screaming mold. This was a mead based off of a Honningbrew mead recipe floating...

So here's where I'm at. I've brewed a few Meads and Ciders(recently bottled carbed and will taste a caramel cider on the 21st, didn't plan that or anything..) and I've come to a point with my brewing addiction that I want to try my hand at beer. Simple right? Not so much. I've tried enjoying...

First two batches of cider came out surprisingly well (one made with champagne yeast, 2nd with plane bread yeast) So was gearing up for another two batches. My goal was to eventually try for a caramel apple cider but hadn't had much luck locating something reliable for a 1gal batch(figured best...

So I decided to add hard cider to my brew list and my fiance wanted to join in as well. We both started a cider at the same time using different yeast and sugar. My brewstore I normally buy my yeast from sadly was out of their cider yeast so I opted for the Red Star Champagne Yeast and used...

First off hello and thank you. A few years back I found myself with a lot of free time and living with a backyard full of blackberries so naturally I got curious and decided to make some Blackberry wine. It was definitely a learning experience but something I really enjoyed doing, researching...
