NOTE: I am asking this question purely out of curiosity and am just wondering if anyone has tried this. I know metabisulfite and sorbates are the common go-to stabilizers/preservatives for halting a fermentation, and are both easy to find and cheap. I'm not asking the question below because I...

Quick question... I've been saving commercial pop top beer bottles for bottling my brews and they have worked great. However, I was wondering if there was a common method for quickly and easily removing the labels? I just want plain, clean, unmarked brown bottles without needing to buy a bunch...

I don't know if this happens to everyone (I've only heard a few other people talk about it before), but drinking a brew with yeast that is still active in it makes me sick (usually not right away, but by the morning I'll be feeling it in my gut and will feel it for the rest of the day). As such...

Quick simple question: I've made mead before but have always just dissolved the honey into the water in the fermenter so this is something I've never really thought about until now... I'm prepping a recipe in which I need to dissolve the honey in the water on the stove prior to putting it in...

So I have some packets of Lalvin D47 that I bought recently. I heard it is a good yeast for both mead and some traditional grape wines.

Then, just a few days ago, I bought a bag of Tealyra loose tea and was impressed by the flavor and immediately thought of putting it in a mead (I actually bought...

I know this is the cider forum but I figured it was the most appropriate forum to post this question in since it's about brewing another fruit (I mean grapes are fruits too, but wine is its own category that I'm pretty sure lemonade would not fall under). Anyway, my question is: Does...

I know some people would probably be offended by me choosing to post a Sugar Wine question in the Winemaking forum, but I'm relatively new here and wasn't sure where to post this... but it's called Sugar Wine so I put it here. Anyway, My question is all the way at the bottom; everything between...

Introduction: Hi! I'm the Experimenter and I'm new here (just created my account like 1 hour ago). I am also new to brewing and have been doing it for 3 months (as of today). I got into it mostly because I thought it would be fun (and it is!!) and to share what I make with family and friends...
