I have been working with Wine grapes and beer for the last year and have found that adding the grapes in (crushed and campden-ized) at high krausen works best. Secondary is tough due to the high sugar content, and boiling just loses all the delicate fruity aspects of the grapes (might as well...

To add to this, you hear the suggestion often to dry hop in 2-3 additions - dry hop for 5 days, then take them out and add a fresh batch of hops. What is your take on this vs using 2x the amount for your first addition? I can see some contact issues if you are using whole hops, but with pellets...

I was going to say that I would keep it under two weeks, as I have gotten some astringency from the cocoa nibs, but it sounds like this worked out well at 1.5 monthes. It would be interesting to do a side by side of lots of nibs for...

I know there has been many threads on the Brew Magic system, but I have some issues that I just cannot find answers for. I have been brewing for years, and was gifted an old Brew Magic (all manual, no display screens and such). it works fine and as it should, but my efficiencies are poor. On...
