Thanks. One more question. How many tablets do I add when racking? I added 5 when i first put the wine in the fermenter, but only 1 last time I racked. but then i just read to add 1 tablet Per Gallon when racking. Also, how many do I add when I bottle? Thanks. I searched a bunch but...

Did some searching and it looks like every other racking add a campden tablet.

Another question sorry. Do I add a campden tablet every time I rack it?

"Rack after 30 days and add another untill clear" I dont understand this sentence. Add another what? I just used this recipe to make my first batch of wine yesterday. Raspberry/huckleberry. Just pitched the yeast. Hope it turns out ok.

The yeast was in the fridge. It expires next august. The hops were in the freezer. DME doesnt go bad does it? It was an extract recipe. Here is the recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/german-chocolate-stout-27895/ 3lbs Light Extract DME 6lbs Dark Extract DME .5 lbs Cracked Roasted...

I ended up having a pack of nottingham at my parents house. I bought all the ingredients for this beer almost a year ago and didnt remember if i bought yeast. Only other question i might have is that the OG was only 1.06. The recipe said it should be 1.08. Any idea why that might be?

I still need to learn the terminology. I assumed "cooking" the beer was part of the overall "brewing" process. :p Its a chocolate stout. Its on the stove with a lid on it now. I might have some yeast at my parents house. Im going to call and have them check. If they do, i will drive over and...

I just finished cooking a batch of beer and realized i dont have any yeast. The stores are all closed. Can i add the yeast tomorrow?

I used a condom because i assume they are sterile. I just moved into a new house and dont have any sanitizer or airlocks with me. I will see how it works. If i do it again, i will get an airlock. If it doesnt work, im out about $4. If there is too much sediment, I will just bottle it. The...

Think it would be possible to carbonate in this container also? Add some sugar and put the cap on? Maybe this is asking too much.

I had an idea. I dont know if anyone has tried this, and i didnt want to search all 100 pages to find out. Anyone use the applejuice jug as the fermenter? Add the corn sugar and yeast to the jug. Poke a pinhole in a condom or balloon and put over the top. I figure when its done, i...

Im going to try this recipe. Why does it say All-grain? I dont have to do a full boil do I? How much Irish moss do i use? Thanks.

I can find any warrior hops. Can i use magnum instead?

Thanks! I tried surfing for about a year and never got the hang of it. Now im more into kayaking, fishing, and beer drinking. :) So, it will be ok after 4 months in the carboy? I will probably do that then. If it doesnt work, im only out ~$20. I was hoping i could bottle it and bring...

Good thing i bought my girlfriend a dwarf lime tree for valentines day!:D

Thats true, but im not bringing my brewing equipment with me. I will be living at a friends house for 4 months working in the oil fields and wont have time or space for it. Could i leave it here in the primary for 4 months until i get back?

Question: Will it turn out ok if i dont ferment for the full 6 weeks? I am moving to Wyoming next week and my apfelwein will have been in the primary for only about 3.5 weeks. Will it be ok if i bottle it and take it with me? or should i show my dad how to bottle it so he can do it when its...

The beer was in the primary for 4 weeks while i was trying to find a regulator. I kegged it yesterday and force carbed it and tasted it this morning. Its tasty. much better than i could have hoped for. Its a little strong, i think because i didnt use enough water. I ended up with a little over 4...

I think it was: 6 lbs. light dme 1 lb. 80l crystal 1 lb. 20l crystal hops above. Sort of a strange recipe i think. Very limited selection at my LHBS. I didnt originally plan to use all those hops, but I had them in the fridge, and thought they might make up for the lack of other...
