Well I had done alittle sampling before taking the readings.:drunk: Ok so 8% sounds good thanks. Sounds like I better let it sit for a few more weeks before bottling. I didn't think S-05 would go that high. Yeap, the apple wine was made with montrachet yeast so I was alittle afraid of...

5 gallons of cider with 4 pounds of dark brown sugar, I used safale-05 for yeast start gravity was 1.85 finish gravity(I think it's finished) is 1.25 after 4 weeks in carboy What is the alcohol content? What is the alcohol tolerance of S-05? At 1.25 it is on the sweet side for my...

The last time I racked it had good flavor it was just alittle cloudy. Now 3 weeks later it taste hot and is getting dark in color, before it was more a rose color.

It's the group brew strawberry mead recipe on here. It 7 months old and it is in a glass carboy. I racked it last month and everything was looking good, taste good but was still a little cloudy. I was going to let it bulk age for another month or so to see if it would clear up alittle more...

That's a good one to start with, I was happy the way mine turned out. I'm getting ready to start another batch......be carefull with the hopps they will shine through when the graff is green:mug:

1893 + 5 = 1898 air lock is bubbling away nicely

Not sure about hot but I have no problem drinking warm beer.

I ve been looking for that idea for acouple of months now!! thanks

Only 4 beers a day during the week and 5 on weekends........I don't think I could make it

The lee's are dropping and looks like I'll be racking again soon. With the amount of berry sludge and lee's that will be racked off, what should I top up with? Looks like there will be too much space to top up with all water.

Well one week or so later, twisted the cap off and had a nice hiss. pour...good head. Good beer I don't know if I'll make a habbit of using twist off bottles but they work in a pinch.

my dear old Great Grampa had a saying.............. It's hard to drink all day if you don't start first thing in the morning.:mug:

yup re-empty = drink.:mug: I should of counted my bottles before I started, I used what I had. I used a wing capper so I might loose a few. Live and learn:mug:

I ran out of bottles. I was six or so bottles shy so I grabbed some budlights and emptied a few, cleaned em up and used budlight bottles to finish my batch of beer. How soon should I re-empty those bottles? or will they seal?

Took a gravity reading and it was already down to 1.02 so I racked it into a glass carboy. Racking it off the berries wasn't nearly as bad as it looked but it was a sticky mess around the bucket from it over flowing a couple of times. It smelled so good I had to shoo my littlest one away, she...

I pitched my yeast 2 days ago, yesterday I added my nutrients got a little foam. This morning I punched it down and started stirring and this stuff started coming unglued........foam everywhere, what a mess. I'm going to have cleaning supplies ready tonight when I add the last of the nutrients...

In my younger days I use to buy large quanities of beer to get drunk. As I got older I started buying small quanities of specialty beers to sip on and enjoy the taste, hangovers started to hurt to much. Now I'm trying to make mine own beer as my friends that I use to drink large amounts of...

They had some killer blueberry ale a couple of years ago.....well worth the stop.:mug: Sullivan's Black Forest in Frankenmuth has some a some interesting beers. They have a sample tray of beer that will convince you into staying the night if you finish all 8 kinds.

When racking this from primary to secondary could you just pour the mead through a screen to help seperate the mead from the strawberry's?
