    Pumpkin Mead VS Pumpkin Wine

    He did say you can use 6 pounds of canned pumpkin instead, have to bake and stir, bake it and stir to carmelize the pumpkin.

    Pumpkin Mead VS Pumpkin Wine

    I’m in a beer club and the guy always wins the Pumpkin Brew off we have. I still don’t have his beer recipe but I do like the looks of his pumpkin flavoring, looks good on paper. I’ve never made a pumpkin beer yet, this will be my first. Heading To Walmart this weekend to buy those little...

    Pumpkin Mead VS Pumpkin Wine

    Just asked him, he gets 3-4 small baking pumpkins, cuts them in half, takes out seeds, turns them upside down on cookie sheet, place them in oven 350 for 20-30 min until soft. After that he scoops out the meat and uses it in his mash for beer. He uses the liquid from the pumpkin and puts that...

I got my Peach Ice Wine from them and I have 2 more of the special dessert wines ordered from them also. They have great beer kits also. I did their...

    I have a buddy who makes a very good pumpkin beer, I asked him what his secret was to making a good pumpkin beer and he said he gets 3-4 baking pumpkins cuts off the tops, turns them upside down on a aluminum foil baking sheet and bakes them at 350 for 15-20 minutes. He said the pumpkins gives...

    WineXpert WE LE Peach ice wine

    I’m making this one now, make sure you follow the ice wine instructions and NOT the dessert wine instructions. Mines going on the second week and still slowly fermenting. Check out Adventure In HomeBrewing.com, they did have 13% off and free shipping on this kit. Cheaper than Label Peelers

    17 years of brewing new to wine

    Like you I brewed beer for years and then decided to try making wine. I believe you should start out just making a few inexpensive wine kits like a Island Mist or Vintners Reserve. This way you learn the process and about the chemicals you use in wine. When I made these I did use my beer...

    Island Mist Peach Chardonnay starting SG

    Back sweeten - how?

    I use my hydrometer for Back sweeting. If I want a little bit of sweetness I go 1.010. If I want a sweet wine I’ll go to 1.020. 2 cups of sugar to 1 cup of water for a simple syrup. I do this with my meads too and It’s seems pretty accurate. I can’t taste test like most People can, I get a...

    Adding Watermelon to Watermelon Wine After Fermentation Begins

    In my opinion if your starting to make wine, I’d make a few wine kits first to get a understanding of the wine making process and the Use of chemicals. Orchard Breezin has a nice tasting Watermelon Kit. 6 gallons for around $60. I would think your fine adding more melon and sugar, the yeast...

    Can you use a bourbon barrel for wine after its been used for beer?

    For Christmas I received a 5 gallon bourbon barrel as a gift. I used it once for a Imperial Stout Beer and then used It again for a BarleyWine Beer. It’s been sitting empty for a month now and thinking about using a sulfite to kill any nasties in there and maybe try putting in a wine for...
