What about showing others how to brew? As a fundraiser where a small donation is asked, they bring their own supplies (kits)? I can't find information on the specific law for California.

I am brewing a tea wine using Butterfly Pea. It is blue and I want it to stay blue. A group member told me to buffer with calcium carbonate so I won't have to use lemon. If I use lemon the color turns to purple. So can anyone tell me how and when to use the calcium carbonate? I am new to...

I appreciate your post on my question. Yes, I used real petals taken from my rose bush which has never had chemicals on it. They were all in perfect form and clean. I was thinking it may be as you said with your lavender. So I may just rack as you did. I just don't want to have anything...

Thank you so much for asking. There are just a few of the string things. Maybe about 6 or so. I took one out, laid it on a white paper towel. It pulls apart easily and is actuall kind of greenish.

Hi group. I just brewed a rose petal wine and was about to rack it when I saw a couple of green stringy things in it. Are they mold threads or what? Do you think I should toss it. It is only a gallon. There were no mold layers floating on top. Just these stringy things. And there was very...

Will adding fresh ginger to a brewing wine that is at 15 Brix cause a problem? Like carbonation or mold? I am just learning to read the hydrometer and that is the only number I can read correctly.

I have a ginger bug sitting on my counter that is a year old. It can be used to make ginger ale even at that age. I even use it to carbonate Tepache or Hibiscus tea. And the Snakebark soda is not only good it is healthy. It doesn't have added yeast, only the yeast that it gathered from the...

Because I had used dried cherries previously in several brews successfully I didn't think to read the ingredients on a new package. Only after I had put them in the new brew. So this morning I decide to check and see that they were coated with Sunflower seed oil. Is there anything I can do? The...

Thank you...

This idea is so workable for me (seeing as I am a noob). But my question is will the wine begin to ferment again if the juice is added to it? Or is it added only when it is ready to be served?

Yes, that would be the base I started with. The writer recommended the book. I got it on Amazon for $.01. It lends itself to so many adjustments. Thanks for posting. And I wish I had started making wine earlier. I bet you have some awesome recipes.

Hi, I am new to winemaking and have only been brewing since July 2016. What an enjoyable and addicting activity. Briefly, my friend gave me two very nice teas from a specialty shop she found on her vacation. I can't do the caffeine but was very appreciative of her gift. What to do? I made wine...

Hello. I found your forum while researching a question. I think I was looking for a Retsina recipe. But I am staying because now I am hooked on the homebrew, something I've been interested in since a child watching my uncles make wines and brandies.

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum and found you on the Net while looking for an answer to a question I've long forgotten. I am also new to brewing but have made a number of different sodas. Once I started making the ginger ale it opened a trunk full of ideas. One of my favorites is...
