I searched on here and couldn't really find my answer. So here is my idea; I'm not great at explaining stuff so we'll see how this goes. I was planning to use Splenda to backsweetin (since it does not ferment), but after all the research I did I've decided not to because of the off tastes and...

Ok, so I bottled for the first time tonight. My bottles had a little CO2 carb foam when bottling. Should I be worried about bottle bombs? I did stabilize before bottling; so i should be good right? Cause its post bottling fermentation that creates bottle bombs & not residual CO2... Right?

Well I've been pretty active here over the past couple weeks with a bunch of noob questions... Now I have a noob PROBLEM. I was checking the SG of my Apfelwein and I cracked the side of the bucket. :drunk: don't even freaking ask me how. I was just pulling the cap off and I heard the crack...

This is a pretty straight forward question. I have a recipe that calls for Grape Tannin, but I have some Wine Tannin from a kit... Does it really matter in the long run? If it matters is a strawberry wine recipe. Thanks in advance. Should we take a bet on how long it takes Yooper to...

So I had a weird experience today at Midwest Supplies. I live right outside of Minneapolis so I thought I would go to their showroom and pick up some stuff. I just started my first wine and had a couple questions. So after shopping for a bit I was talking to their "wine expert" (nice older...

So I recently inherited some of my grandfathers brewing equipment. A lot of odds and ends, but got 10 really nice 1 gallon wine bottles. Most of them are marked 1978; and yes thats how long they've been sitting around haha I'm wondering about 2 things. 1. Should I take an extra...

Just inherited some home brew stuff we found in my grandpa's house and thought I might do some research and try my hand at it. I look forward to doing a lot of reading on here :cross:
