    Crabapple Wine

    One more question in your process you talk about putting them in a mesh bag. I assume this is so after the primary you can just lift them out? Is that correct? Also does your recipe scale up? So if I want to do 3 gallons X everything by 3? Thanks! Excited to try this. Never made a wine before.

    Crabapple Wine

    I just went round there again and took a look and they are beginning to fall down and feel ripe. They taste very bitter! But I think if I don't get them soon they'll be take by the birds or will fall off. I'm north of Toronto so similar part of the world to you I think. Does it have to be an...

    Crabapple Wine

    I was walking around my property today and found a HUGE crab apple tree. 2 questions - how do you know when to pick them & when you freeze them do you do anything special or just wash them and throw them in a bag? Thanks

    Mash in my EYE!

    Thought I'd share this after my brew day today. So I was having a good day and brewing with some tunes on. All was going well until I cleaned out the mash tun. So I had a smaller bucket that I was scooping the spent grains into and once I finished doing this I picked up the smaller bucket to...

    Plastic Buckets - Really that bad?

    Some people just sit the lids on top without even clicking them down so I wouldn't worry about it. Like you said co2 is protecting the beer so as long as stuff isn't floating into the beer it'll be fine. Good luck!
