I felt upon my initial sg test my readings were of by a lot. 1.054 seems very low in 6.5 gallon must with 9lbs frozen peaches 5 lbs canned peaches in pear juice and ten lbs sugar. So I did some math and estimated the actual sg was 1.092. After 5 days it fermented to 1.020. I removed the fruit...

I actually started a peach wine after I bottled. Its bubbling away. I'm going to rack it over more peaches. Its got 16lbs of fruit 10lbs sugar in primary. I'm going to do a secondary with 16lbs of peaches and an extra 4lbs of sugar. I'm purposely trying to keep the alcohol low and peach flavor...

hello all; Last night I whipped up a batch of peach wine. I used 14lbs of peaches. 9lbs of them where frozen. The other 5 were canned peaches in natural pear juice. I used 2 cans of pears in pear juice as well. I used 10 lbs of sugar. I noticed one of the canned fruits had a funny feet smell...

I bottled yesterday evening. 53 beer. I drank 3 flat. Seemed pretty good. I didn't let it stay in the fridge long to clear completely, only about 30 hrs. I boiled the lemonade packets and sugar in 2 cups water. I forgot to measure the sugar by weight. I used a 1/2 cup measuring cup leveled plus...

I just realized my math on bottles is wrong. Ill need 60 bottles or close to. Stripping labels now lmao.

I have 6 12 packs, only 48 are label free. I was assuming I'd get at least 4 12 packs worth minimum, and whatever is left after filling the 4 12 packs I was going to use 20 oz soda bottles for testing carbination levels every few days as was recommended to me. Idk if it matters but I'm assuming...

ok all. I have my beer cold crashing. I put it in the fridge this morning. 1.008 is my fg. Ill be bottling Monday night after a 48 hr cold crash. I'm excited to rack to bottling bucket. I have 48 beer bottles. I'm using a dishwasher to remove the labels and sanitize the bottles. I have a hand...

I have one final question about racking canes. I went to find my old 3/8 auto siphon and I can no longer find it. It prompted me to order an 1/2in auto siphon and 1/2in bottle filler. I remember I had a hard time keeping my 3/8 going and actually felt I wasted money on it, but I've been reading...

Thanks!! I knew about the yeast, thats already in the fridge. I guess I can put the Bavarian wheat dme in a zip lock in the cabinet with my baking supplies. On a side note I went to 2 grocery stores today and I could only find kool-aid brand lemonade packets that where the kind you add sugar...

So I figured I'd update you all on my progress. Well idk about the beers progress, but I just got this in the mail today! Everything is there this time. BrewnWKopperKat said something about improper storage ruining color. How do you save the sugars and hops properly?

No. I am not kegging. I'm going to bottle condition. After ferment is done. I'm in no rush. It seems beer is way faster all around than wine. And wine I found is way faster than mead. I have my questions answered. Well except what my fg will be but thats anyone's guess. And I need a...

Won't be an issue. I'm nowhere near ready to bottle til thurs next week.

Nope. But wesbrew offered his opinion to cold crash at 1.008 to1.010. And the recipe says finishes at 1.008 to1.010. I know that doesn't mean much because I added the corn sugar supplement and the fg can potentially be much lower. And it was also less bubbly in my hydrometer test jar today than...

I am at 1.010 today. Guess I'll pop it in the fridge tonight. How long can it stay in the fridge?

Honestly it impressed me. I've done a lot of digital shopping since the pandemic and everyone seems to blame simple problems on the pandemic as a scape goat. Like taking forever to respond to emails and phone calls. Or shipping the slowest way possible and blaming it on the pandemic. But to find...

Well I did tell him I'm gonna tell everyone I can. And now that its online I can't stop you. But sure go ahead. I'm sure he would be happy to hear it.

I wasn't going to in case they weren't a sponsor. It turns out they are. Keg Connection was the company I got my kit from. So I thank you Keg Connection, I greatly appreciate the care you took, especially during these hard times we are all enduring.

Lmao maybe I will. I mean I literally only bought the beer kit and the wort chiller for this. My birthdays coming up. Maybe I should start small and add another fermentor or 2. I've got some peaches id like to make a melomel out of and a replacement beer kit so I have a few things lined up lol.

Ok np. I don't mind waiting. I'm in no rush. I'm already happy with it. Ill check the gravity on Sunday then again in a few more days.

1.013 as of right now. It was a dark liquid i put in the fermentor but it really pale now. Cloudy in my hydrometer jar and still off gassing in it as well. Tastes pretty yeasty but very good otherwise.
