    Rhino Cider

    :confused: Brewing a cider with clove, oak chips, apple jelly, and cinnamon since Dec 2nd. I was going to move it to secondary on the 23rd. (Not sure how long I should leave it in secondary.) But like a Christmas gift I could not help but take a peak. So...I removed the airlock and....Rhino...

    Bottling for the First Time

    So my mead is done and it's bottlin' time! :rockin: But, what to put it in? I have a small batch, a gallon, and five 750ml bottles that I had been collecting for reuse and relabeling. But you see...these are screw top bottles. Is that heretical? :confused: Several things I've recently read...

    Historical Beers

    You know what they say.... They don't make them like they used to. How easy is it to dig up OLD recipes? I mean the stuff of our ancestors, form the 18th century, to the middle ages -or even older. Imagine tasting something that could have written by priests of Ninkasi. What have you...

    Is It Done Yet?

    Alright -when I started my hydrometer red 14% , meaning there was a max potential alcohol content of that much. I took a reading this afternoon and it is very near 1.00, showing 2%. The difference between those is 12%.

    Is It Done Yet?

    I'm not quite sure what to do now. It's been 8 weeks since I started. I sampled a little and it's good but maybe could use some back sweetening. I wanted to move my capsicumel to secondary except... I actually don't know if it's really done or not. My starting gravity was something...

    Accelerators

    "Contains a special blend of selected wine yeast mixed with 3 different nutrient salts. When added with the standard 5g yeast package contained in most wine kit add-packs, will reduce the fermentation time from 21 to 5 days, with minimal loss of bouquet or taste. Will ferment wine kits in 7...

    Banana wine smells of sulfur, where did I go wrong?

    Want That "Viniq" Look

    http://imgur.com/gallery/DGYLNu6 My mom really enjoyed Viniq, and now I am making my own wine (a mead though), and what to try to replicate the look. From what I have learned the effect is achieved through Wilton's Pearl Dust or another Luster Dust...

    My First Mead -Got Questions

    :mug: Thanks for the info, one more thing though. The directions do note that honey is actually a poor nutrient source, and they do mention that a homebrew shop would carry nutrients. But what they offer instead, is the idea of using a "neutral" white grape or apple juice to start things off...

    My First Mead -Got Questions

    So , I just bought a mead brewing kit on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ICTNPK8/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 But as a few have noted, I feel this kit is for more experienced home brewers. I've a few questions before I start: 1. I've only done some extract brewing...
