I've tweaked a recipe I found on this site with a different recipe I found on this site. The spices are all from a ginger ale soda recipe, and the excessive amount of sugar is for the yeast. I think this will be dry, and I did this because even though I own a hydrometer I never use it, and have...

I just finished adding 10lb of table sugar, 5lb of blueberries, 10 teabags, 3.75 gallons of mineral water and ec1118 into my primary fermenter. I am a little tight on cash, so I've ditched the honey and am going for broke. I'm also going to treat it like a beer, and bottle it after 2 weeks...

I started both of these on the same day 3 months ago. On the right I used bread yeast and 3 pounds of honey. on the left I used champayne yeast and 4.5 pounds of honey. These are both cysers. why is the EC 118 so dark? they both stopped fermenting within 2 weeks after initiating the batches. Did...

I started out making mead, but it takes so long to make sure that I begin making beer while waiting. now I realize that making me this much simpler. I have a 6.5 gallon carboy. I would like to know if I can make a basic primary with water and honey and yeast and then divide it up into different...

I'm new to brewing, and my wife doesn't want me to spend lots of money making beer. So I started with all grain beers. After I sparge the grain and have my wort and yeast in a fermenter I go back and make Kvass. It's a bread based soda. I re-steep the grain as if I am making another beer, but I...

Listened to the local brew shop guy instead of leaving everything in the primary fermenter for 3wks. Transferred to secondary after one week. Was making a gallon batch, transferred it to 6.5 gallon carboy, only one I had, so I could start an old english ale (no hops). So I've got about a...

Yep, I started a apple juice and honey cyser ( no water) using bread yeast. I do have some ec 1118. I am thinking of racking into the secondary, adding more honey and juice and dry pitching the 1118. Where will this leave it flavor wise? I do not use a hydrometer, and probably will not for a...

I bought some 1118 to make mead, but I've got some leftover and time to kill. I want to make a wheat ale following a recipe I found: 1 lb American Two-row Pale 8 oz Wheat Malt 6 oz (1/2 cup) Honey @30 min 0.5 oz Hallertau hop pellets @1 min 0.5 oz Hallertau hop pellets 1/2 pkt Ale yeast...
