    Broken Carboy in the mail

    Just have to give a shout out to Northern Brewer. I ordered a couple of little big mouth bubblers and they got here last friday and one of them was broken. I emailed them and no questions, they shot back an email saying that a replacement bubbler was on it's way this morning. That's just...

    Oaking elderberry wine?

    I'm thinking of adding some toasted oak chips to my second batch of elderberry wine, but I'm not sure if it'll add too much tannin. Where is the best place for reading up on oaking wines and learning about that process?

    Carry harness/little big mouth bubbler?

    Does anyone know where I could get some carry harnesses for the little big mouth bubbler? I know it's a smaller carboy but, wet glass is slippery.

    96 oz glass bottle

    Found this glass cider bottle a couple months ago at an organic food store. It's 96 oz and seems to work great, when taking a gallon batch with fruit in it, to rack to, to prevent excess headspace. It takes a 5 gallon carboy bung. And as a plus, the cider is tasty. If you are in Northern...

    Costco Honey Citron ginger tea

    So I bought the tea in question and tried it. Due to it having the texture of orange juice with pulp in it, which I hate, and instead of throwing the whole thing out, I put it into a little big mouth bubbler as an experiment. I did end up adding 1/2 cup of honey to bring up the hydrometer...

    I need some recipe ideas.

    I just picked up (used) a 3 gallon regular carboy and a 6 gallon big mouth bubbler for $10 each. What's a good fruit wine/cider (or something else?) recipe to break them in? I'm new to this hobby so something easy(ish) but good tasting.

    Replacement lid

    I picked up a glass 3 gallon jug that looks like a little bigmouth at a yard sale for cheap, but the lid needs replacing. the inner diameter of the jug is 4 1/8, or 104/105 mm. The Outer diameter is 4 29/32 or 125/126mm. I tried a three gallon fermonster lid and it's too small. Any one...
