Well I had done alittle sampling before taking the readings.:drunk: Ok so 8% sounds good thanks. Sounds like I better let it sit for a few more weeks before bottling. I didn't think S-05 would go that high. Yeap, the apple wine was made with montrachet yeast so I was alittle afraid of...

5 gallons of cider with 4 pounds of dark brown sugar, I used safale-05 for yeast start gravity was 1.85 finish gravity(I think it's finished) is 1.25 after 4 weeks in carboy What is the alcohol content? What is the alcohol tolerance of S-05? At 1.25 it is on the sweet side for my...

It's the group brew strawberry mead recipe on here. It 7 months old and it is in a glass carboy. I racked it last month and everything was looking good, taste good but was still a little cloudy. I was going to let it bulk age for another month or so to see if it would clear up alittle more...

That's a good one to start with, I was happy the way mine turned out. I'm getting ready to start another batch......be carefull with the hopps they will shine through when the graff is green:mug:

1893 + 5 = 1898 air lock is bubbling away nicely

I ve been looking for that idea for acouple of months now!! thanks

Only 4 beers a day during the week and 5 on weekends........I don't think I could make it

The lee's are dropping and looks like I'll be racking again soon. With the amount of berry sludge and lee's that will be racked off, what should I top up with? Looks like there will be too much space to top up with all water.

Well one week or so later, twisted the cap off and had a nice hiss. pour...good head. Good beer I don't know if I'll make a habbit of using twist off bottles but they work in a pinch.

my dear old Great Grampa had a saying.............. It's hard to drink all day if you don't start first thing in the morning.:mug:

yup re-empty = drink.:mug: I should of counted my bottles before I started, I used what I had. I used a wing capper so I might loose a few. Live and learn:mug:

I ran out of bottles. I was six or so bottles shy so I grabbed some budlights and emptied a few, cleaned em up and used budlight bottles to finish my batch of beer. How soon should I re-empty those bottles? or will they seal?
