I'm ashamed to post this, but I'm totally frustrated. I came across this recipe somewhere on these forums and I thought I bookmarked it but clearly did not, and now I can't seem to locate it. Can someone with better search skills please help me out?

That is something! Does it qualify as a "motor vehicle" (e.g., license, registration, insurance) ?

Yes, but given it's incomplete ending I thought I'd try to resurrect it. I believe a 6.5 stopper will fit the standard lid. Won't know if I don't try. I may try this one also: Big Mouth Bubbler® Universal Lid - Dual Port (northernbrewer.com)

I have a little big mouth bubbler arriving in a few days and I want to test it with my AIO pump. Any tips or suggestions for conducting the test? Following a thorough visual inspection, my current plan is to simply wrap it with a large bath towel (to contain the glass in the event of what Elon...

James just curious if you had a chance to test these? Doh!! Banned !?!

Send me a couple of pints of juice and I'll run a gallon and let you know!!

I put this one on my AIO just for reference so I had at least some idea how much vacuum the pump was pulling: Amazon.com: DuraChoice 2" Utility Vacuum Pressure Gauge, WOG, 1/4" NPT Lwr Mount, 30Hg/30PSI GSAD2012-V30UPD, OEM: Home Improvement . This one is not oil filled because I didn't want...

Welcome!

I was foraging for food in my local HEB last week and decided to browse the apple juice from concentrate. I found the "Old Orchard" brand had malic acid listed on the label. I believe it was the only one out of perhaps half a dozen different brands. I decided to get some and try fermenting...

I've only done one 1.2gal batch of DDDB, with modifications, but I had the same aversion. So, instead of using the bag on the front end as DD suggests, I covered my thawed berries (blackberries instead of triple berry blend) with hot sugar syrup and gave them a good mashing with a potato masher...

I just bought some Realemon (R) lemon juice in the green bottle, for Dragon's Blood (as per Dangerdan's recipe). I notice that it contains sodium benzoate. Did I buy the wrong stuff??

Blackberry is my first, also. I followed the DangerDan Dragon Blood recipe (process) found here, made a 1.2 gallon batch. Bottled in three weeks two days (back sweetened). I drank one of the 5 bottles on the day I bottled, the other 4 are on the shelf. I take every word regarding the...

I'm trying to avoid 3+ gallon vessels due to space and the temptation to jump into bigger batches. I'm already getting stink eye from the wife after having exceeded the allocated space. Also, where I am, they are actually no easier to find (within 100 miles RT) than any other size.

That is THE setup I want! I've got everything but the vessel/Lid...and now maybe a bulkhead fitting or two. I really like the quick connect fittings! Your brain is so ripe for picking.

I've been looking for an inexpensive 1.3 to 2.5 gallon carboy/jug/bottle to use for vacuum degassing and additives with the All In One pump. The only thing close I've been able to find is the Little Big Mouth Bubbler® (northernbrewer.com) . Has anyone used this with the AIO? I think it might...

I just follow the mfr's instructions on the yeast packet. I've used two so far, Red Star Premiere Classic and Lalvin EC-1118 and both say rehydrate.

I'm inclined to agree, but I wonder if anyone has actually tried to quantify this? I'm trying to plan my filtering (Pentek P1/P5) procedure as well. I have a decent scale, I may try a little something to get a rough data point or two!

Yes, thanks! I actually printed it out.

Thanks! When I am ready to rack, should I try to skim off the cap first? It seems that would be easy to do.

Just looked in on my first 1.2 gallons of apple wine, from bottled juice. Starting SG was 1.082, pH 3.79 This is what I found when I removed the cover. Does this cap (?) look normal? It's about 1/2 - 3/4 inches thick. Also, I'm under the impression that I need to give this a good stir every...
