I need to investigate these blow off set ups, i just lost about 2 gallons to a geyser of foamy beer this morning. What a freaking mess it cause. 6 gallons in a 6.5 carboy was a mistake with no blow off.:( Im just glad we were home.

sounds like you got enough sugar:drunk: but sounds very tasty.

how long should i let it sit after ferm stops, does it finish clear?

Huge typo on my part sorry: 1lbs of 60 L crystal malt, not a hop addition at all. I didnt add any hops as I uhad light hopped malt extract already. It is cooking away, I have never used nottinghams yeast, that stuff has a frosty head on it for sure. :p

I just made the recipie with 1 lbs cascade 60lbs steeped in applejuice at 165-170 for 40 min. nottingham yeast 1.75 lbs Muntons light hopped LME 5 gallons motts. I put it in a 6gal carboy so when it calms down I am going to top off the carboy with an additional gallon of motts apple juice...

I had to add a half a jar of instant tea and 3 frozen lemonade containers as well as sugar to get some taste back to it. I think I used montrochet yeast and that helped contribute to the nasty flavor. I will try a different yeast and maybe less sugar so it might taste better next time. its...

I added a 1/2 a bottle of instant tea to my 5 gallon batch, 2 cups of sugar, and 3 Minute Maid frozen concentrates, pretty tasty now even with a a$$ load of alcohol :drunk:bite. I will bottle it up this weekend.

No instructions, I will take a pic of the pail it came in and maybe someone here might have made a batch. I doubt it was ever frozen cause wouldnt that have killed the wild yeasts? It was refrigerated when I bought it.

Ok I checked my notes and I used D-47 yeast. The Sg when I opened it(bubling of course) was 1.02 and after adding the sugar and yeast nutrient and new yeast it sayes 1.03 from 2/4/09. BTW the place I bought the juice California wine grapes in Downtown Detriot was rude when I called about the...

yes but sadly it had started to ferment b4 I started. So I dont really have a starting point. I did add a yeast nutrient, 4 cups sugar and the montrochet yeast. after I did a camden tablet treatment to try and kill the wild fermentation that started. My question was as it was just a juice how...

I am making a 5 gallons of Syrah and am using Montochet yeast and added 4 cups of sugar to it and it is fermenting but I wondered if I added enough sugar to it. I dont want some low % weak wine but something that tastes like closer to a real Syrah. Its been fermenting for about a month now. I...
