Hey everyone. I'm thinking of doing a cherry limeade version. I'm undecided on how to add the cherry flavor. I know someone mentioned koolaid(how much and when?) I also have a bottle of cherry extract that came with a stout beer kit I bought. I used Cheerwine syrup instead to make a Cheerwine...

Came across this thread a couple of weeks ago searching the interweb for a good copycat recipe for those little bites of spicy awesomeness.... Last week I made a half batch using some beef sausages that I made and smoked myself with version 3.5....... Just popped the jar open cause I couldn't...

Started my batch of Skeeter Pee on Friday of last week by following the directions for the must exactly and had an OG of dead on 1.070. I didn't have a slurry so I made a starter with 2 packs of ec1118 with about a cup of water and a couple tbsp of sugar on Sat. Once that was rolling I did add a...

Since we moved away from the area he's in that would be difficult. I do like the idea of that otherwise . .. maybe I can find someone else to split the deal.

So a friend of mine that knows I brew texted last night saying he has this 3 tier set up he's gonna sell and wanted to know if I was interested. He took it on trade and has never brewed. Also has some carboys and s few other accessories. No set price. Just says to make an offer. What is a fair...

Well the finished product came out pretty dang tasty. Did the Witbier first and the stout is currently in primary. Definite Witbier taste up front with that Cheerwine on the back end.

Man that home Depot bucket solution is pure genius for those of us to last to try another method.

I don't have a PayPal account anymore but I think my mom still does. I'll check and see. My zip code is 27284 if you want to figure uhaul Shipping.

Hey boomer, I'm heading to the plant tomorrow to get the syrup for these batches. Just saw that you said you were from Albemarle. I lived in Stanly county for many years and worked ems there for must of them.

So currently everything is packed up because we bought a new house so a move happens next week...... But once settled I've got a good starting point and have actually decided to do both a wheat based version and a stout version to see which I prefer. I've been making a blue moon/Cheerwine shandy...

When would the lactose be added? I've read several opinions on that.

Thanks again for all of your replies and suggestions. So I reached out to Cheerwine and I can get a bag in a box of the syrup at the factory retail store. It's the size for a soda fountain..... So I imagine I'll experiment with a couple batches and of course awesome Cheerwine pound cake.....

Oh yeah. Wasn't thinking about that.

Currently I bottle. I am limited on room as far as kegging. We are buying a new house now so I'll have some more room to allow for kegging and I also plan on a fermentation chamber. What about an add in to prevent further fermentation prior to adding the syrup?

Thanks! I'm planning on this being one of my future biab brews. I might do a 5 gal batch of a wheat beer and then split it into 2 fermentation buckets so I can add the syrup to half.

Thanks! I know they sell small bottles of the syrup at the plant but hopefully I can find a way to get a larger amount. How much would you suggest I add?

I've also considered doing a hard soda of it. I'd assume that could be done by fermenting the soda itself. Maybe with some champagne yeast and then back sweeten. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply. My concern with extract would be that Cheerwine doesn't really have the same taste as a regular cherry cola. I know the fermentation process will of course change the flavor anyway. Thanks again.

Hey guys, I am fairly new to brewing having started last summer and only extract brews up to this point. I am planning to switch to biab in the very new future. I was drinking a Cheerwine (North Carolina staple non alcoholic soda) a couple of nights ago and decided I want to try and brew a...
