    I live in South Africa CT and there are loads wineries nearby to where I am and as it is so hard to find any yeast apart from quick or brewers (which makes **** wine) so I am thinking of asking one of my local wineries for some yeast. If I were to (and they said yes) what would they most...

    I'm making some mead

    And I'm wondering if this setup is alright, I'm only making about a gallon. The first bottles is the primary, second is secondary and I'm thinking of using the glass bottle to bottle half the contents and the rest in pet bottles. I'm going to use Joe's Quick Grape Mead recipe. What are your...

    Beer brewing kit and a 5 litre bottle.

    I'm getting it from some sort of specialized bucket hardware store and their largest bucket is their 20 liter food grade bucket that would cost about 3 dollars. And could I use a siphon tube as a blow-off tube? Thanks.

    Beer brewing kit and a 5 litre bottle.

    Thanks for helping. I've got all the equipment needed (they're just not in the picture) just no carboy, and I can't seem to find any place that sells them down here in South Africa =[.

    Beer brewing kit and a 5 litre bottle.

    Hi, I just bought a kit and all the equipment needed to brew my first beer (Lager). My first problem is I can't find a fermenting bucket or demijohn so I just modified a 5 liter bottle so I can fit a grommet, this was done successfully =], out of what you see in the pic, would you say this setup...

    Possible infection?

    It's bubbling again but really slowly, is it possible that within the process most of the yeast got away?

    Possible infection?

    I'm a little pissed off at the moment, my friend thought it may have been a problem and without letting me know he poured the contents using a teabag mesh and a funnel and poured the contents to a whole different demijohn =[. There seems to be no yeast activity at all now so I put the demijohn...

    Possible infection?

    I used Edworts apfelwein recipe exactly as mentioned in a small, plastic demijohn. After about 5 days of fermenting (nicely) I have now come across these small thick brown bubbles that have just recently started appearing amongst usual white froth. They don't look like blotches (as they seem...

    Man, I love Apfelwein
