A few questions. Has anyone ever tried to collect and store the co2 from a brew? On average how much co2 is produced per 5 gallon batch? How many psi does it actually take to bust a filled 12oz bottle? How many psi would it take to bust an empty 12oz bottle?

I end up with a metric ****ton of wine or beer sitting around that doesn't get drank.

I have been absent on HBT for a little while. I have not done a whole lot of brewing. The hobby doesn't really pay off in the long run but I still love to do it. I have 3 gallons of wine ready to be racked tomorrow and peppers drying for hot sauce. I am not really sure what the point of this...

thats what I will be doing then. I will then age her out.

I recently made an experimental batch. Approximate Recipe: 1.75 gallons, 3lb mixed red and green grapes, 1.75oz Corn Sugar, 1lb sugar, 1tbs "maple syrup", 10 grams Redstar Curvee' yeast. Specific gravity of 1.032. Last night I racked to the secondary and made a few changes because it...

Wow. This I havn't checked this thread in a while. My brewing got put on hold I hope to fire up another batch soon.

i used bakers yeast lol.

Thus far I have only drank St. Pauli N/A, Becks N/A, and Busch N/A and so far I'de have to say that St. Pauli's has definitely been the best... for skunky green bottle beer. The Busch is terrible. It tasted just as I expected it to taste... like Busch that got drunk and spent all of its Alcohol...

I've already killed it with campden tablets. There is another thread about what I am doing exactly. Its an experimental batch basically to see how quickly I can produce a batch of wine with free/extremely cheap/supplies I had on hand. It appears as though the coffee filters are working because I...

My last batch I saw activity within two hours... no starter either, just a dry yeast pitch.

I would not do such a thing. Save yourself about a gallon of wort to do such things with.

So I plan to be making Skeeter Pee all summer long starting in spring. I never know when I am going to be finishing a batch of wine since i never really plan to make it.. just when I come across the fruit. How can I save the yeast slurry until I am ready to use it in Skeeter Pee

The issue is that I was only able to rack by pouring since my tubing had a crack. This stirred the crap at the bottom back up. Also I only made 1 gallon so it will be drank quickly.

I wouldn't top it off. It may be fine, it may be an extra light version of what you were trying to brew. Always allow a little extra water for your boil and if you end up with a little less... no worries, you will have a higher ABV and a heavier beer... which is a good thing IMO.

I'm bottling a batch of wine today and I am going through the process of getting out as much of the fruit particles and yeast. I tried to do a siphon and my tubing wasn't working out so well so I dumped it into a 1 gallon water jug and am working on getting it through some coffee filters which...

This thread has been funny. Good news is though. A friend wants to buy some of this batch.

I was going to place this order last pay period and I got a long spill about how we are still paying off the t.v. the car payment that was due, christmas, this, that, and the other. Yet every time I turned around it was the bank card getting swiped and not her pay card. I'm going to brew this...

I ordered an extract kit and bottling bucket today. I then thought about how hard my wife is going to ***** when she gets home. I called and tried to cancel the order until I soften her up a little but the order was already being processed. Does anyone else have this problem?

Scored one on first try.
